You would've thought they were arresting John Lee Cowell for throwing water balloons. And don't pull that "he wasn't resisting" bullshit. I've seen THOUSANDS of peaceful, unarmed, non-violent Black folk who committed no crimes at all, treated much worse than this.https://twitter.com/ShaunKing/status/1021693042007396354 …

Purna Maskey of Now Save on 1300 N 7th St, West Monroe, LA 71291 called the cops. He's the guy at about 25 seconds of the video. According to LeDoux, the victim was threatening him and giving him "evil" looks. You tell me if this video contradicts that at all. Mugshot of LeDoux.pic.twitter.com/LK0JqeKysW

was he sentenced yet?

He never went to jail. West Monroe courts saw that video and acquitted him for NEGLIGENT homicide. He should have been charged and convicted of second degree murder, but he's free. His victim, Raymond Keith Martinez is dead.

So are you calling for police to brutally beat up EVERYONE now? Police Brutality (and police criminality) affects everyone. YES, it affects the Black community more. But FAR from exclusively so. This is beneath you. Don't let yourself be led by hate. Get your priorities straight!

Remember that tennis player in New York who was tackled just waiting for a taxi?

That's a great point, I forgot about what happened to James Blake. The video says it all. Look at how they treated Blake—a suspect for credit card fraud—versus how they treated
#JohnLeeCowell as a murder suspect on the run.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oga0RjpftWs … -

Police departments have never held any moral high ground, When it comes down to our treatment. There are a few other American institutions that share the same bias. (Sick and tired of being sick and tired)

Why not make him "eat the concrete" like they do black "suspects" so they can step on their hands and knee them in the back. Didnhbreak his arm cuffing him either. Probably took him to Burger King. Sickening.
