    ALL HANDS ON DECK!!! We are going to be pushing in Chattanooga, TN until this violent cop is FIRED and CHARGED for this assault and the charges against THE VICTIM are dropped. 423.209.7000https://twitter.com/MeritLaw/status/1072670026405199872 …

    This is Hamilton County (TN) Detective #BlakeKilpatrick. He is mercilessly beating handcuffed suspect #CharlesToney. This assault resulted in a collapsed lung, broken nose, ribs and finger. We don’t just want his badge— we want him behind bars. We demand it. pic.twitter.com/wdaKpk78HE

        Not just the #BlakeKilpatrick... who are the other officers standing around watching this citizens constitutional and human rights be violated and not intervening? Every officer that can be confirmed as present should be reprimanded. #NoGoodCops

        If you can't keep your cool when arresting a suspect, you should not be an officer of law, and you certainly should not be carrying a gun! This is gross. And scary!

        This cop should be fired, and clearly went over board. The guy was cuffed, but why was he resisting? What outcome did he expect after countless times of the same thing happening?

        I called the number and pressed internal affairs. The charges have not been dropped & an investigation is in progress. I told him that good cops are wearing badges of shame because they are not rooting out the ones who are violent. Thank you for the number. I always call.

        I don’t agree with you most of the time, but is can get behind you on this one. This man has no right to wear that badge and deserves to stand trial for what he did here.

        Like it or not those are called “strikes to gain compliance” that cop is not getting in trouble no matter how much we complain. That guy should not have been resisting

        It's unfortunate. But that's what I said. He resisted from the beginning and continued to resist

        He's already in handcuffs. Some OC spray would've calmed him down immediately. The officer might get put on admin leave but most likely not.

        That’s still excessive use of force while in handcuffs. He had two guys there. All they had to do is help.
