Surprised the officer got 5 yrs. Then I watched the video and saw he was black. Smh. He got more yrs for this assault then other officers get for killing innocent citizens.
Atlanta Officer Trevor King mercilessly beat this Black man with a baton @WalMart - breaking his legs in multiple places.
He was accused of stealing a tomato.
The receipt was in the bag.
Officer just sentenced to 5 years in prison.

Why are American cops so aggressive from the beginning? Why can't they simply ask a question before going ballistic?

Crime is a crime but if it is a white cop, he walks out free but if it is a black cop, gets sentenced.

He deserves this punishment, but it’s hard to ignore the obvious. Maybe the officer forgot to say that he feared for his life.

He thought he was white and they actually cared more about his blue uniform than his blackness! Oh well! He’ll have fun in prison.

He thought he’d stole a tomato so he broke his legs with a baton?? Wow what an overreaction. Hope his fellow inmates have the same kind of mentality as him.

It’s a complete joke. He shouldn’t get protection because he “was” a police officer they should feed him to the wolves
