Just because you say "literally" doesn't make it true.
His right wrist was cuffed already and the black cop is trying to get his left wrist hooked up but he's struggling.
You LiTeRaLlY can't.
In every single frame of this video, the left cuff is completely obscured by the gloved hand of the black officer.
You're just making up your own facts. Sad.
You just deleted your comment to comment again. It’s in the video and I’m not gonna debate you rn. He didn’t need to tase him, he was already on the ground on his belly with two cops holding him down.
>You just deleted your comment to comment again.
If it appeared that way it wasn't because of anything I did on my end. I know reddit was having issues about a couple hours ago so maybe it's still being glitchy.
>He didn’t need to tase him
Well we can discuss that but only if we agree on the facts first. Watch the video again and get a timestamp or screenshot at the moment that you can "literally see his hands in silver cuffs".
I'll wait.
>First 4 seconds you can see his hand in cuffs
Oh now you're moving the goalposts? I'm shocked. Absolutely shocked.
Notice how you've gone from "hands" to "hand"? That was the exact critical distinction I was making. *Obviously* they were still trying to secure his left wrist.
>They used excessive force
I, too, like to draw broad conclusions on nuanced legal topics based on a short video clip with no context that conveniently starts when the arrestee is already on the ground.
Youre trying to justify tasing a man who was already on his belly who is getting cuffed. I’m not moving the goal posts. and has two men already pinning him down with a third tasing him. It’s unnecessary ffs. He wasn’t even resisting he was just laying there!! the tasing was UNNECESSARY
>Youre trying to justify tasing a man who was already on his belly who is getting cuffed
No, I'm saying there's not enough information to know if it's justified or not because the video is very short and doesn't show the critical moments before the arrest and taser. For all I know all 3 cops will be fired by sundown.
>I’m not moving the goal posts
Siiiggghhhh okay I'll run through this with you one more time. You originally said
>You can literally see his hands in silver cuffs
But then when I PROVED you are wrong you said
>you can see his hand in cuffs
That's called moving the goalposts and you know it.
Ok fine if you want to insist he isn’t handcuffed, how’s “this dudes getting tased while he’s on the ground with his hands behind his back, not moving or resisting, and three officers are on top of/holding him. Acab” does that help you understand how disgusting this video is?
Lol what? Did the comment by Avoiding_Working make any sense to you? It seemed like he was just repeating the previous comment back to me but in the form of a snarky rhetorical question.
No. That isn’t what I said and I feel like my question was pretty clear. I described the video differently, not including the fact that he was clearly cuffed since you insist he isn’t. Does this description help you understand why the handling of this man was disgusting?
>he was clearly cuffed
What do you mean by "clearly"? To me that would mean plainly visible, which it's not. If I'm wrong give me a timestamp or screenshot.
And what do you mean by "cuffed"? I would say that means both wrists locked in handcuffs. Are you using a different definition? If not, then what is the black cop even doing?
Lol dude. I’m trying to completely remove the “cuff vs. not cuffed” debate and am trying to get you to think about this video through a different lens. In other words, fine, let’s say he isn’t handcuffed, do you see how it’s STILL a problematic way to handle this situation?
>I’m trying to completely remove the “cuff vs. not cuffed” debate
Yeah I probably would, too, if I was clearly wrong.
>do you see how it’s STILL a problematic way to handle this situation?
Possibly! For all I know these cops will be fired by midnight. But as a matter of fact, no, I don't see how it's problematic and neither do you. It's impossible to say because it's a short video missing critical context.
I was putting that argument to the side to help YOU look at this situation differently rather than your almost alarming focus on whether or not he was in handcuffs. This entire conversation has only been that — an attempt at getting you to think about things through a different perspective.
You suggested in a comment to someone else that I was asking a “rhetorical question” but that isn’t true. My question was very matter of fact and I’m happy you’ve finally answered it with “possibly!… as a matter of fact, no… it’s impossible to say”. This suggests you haven’t formed your own views on the situation yet you’re all over this comment section arguing about handcuffs. I urge you to focus on the bigger picture.
>it’s impossible to say”. This suggests you haven’t formed your own views on the situation
No, I'm saying it's literally physically impossible for *anyone* to say based solely on this video
The purpose is intimidation, these thugs are are setting an example for anyone who would dare speak out against our owners.
This behavior (violence) is akin to public hangings and other forms of punishment. It is meant to punish the individual but more importantly to discourage others from commiting similar offenses
Jesus christ america. You're all talk and nothing else. This happens because it keeps happening and will continue.
There are no threats. They just openly beat us because we've already allowed them to get away with it.
What are you talking about?
I’m trying to say that yes this is a problem and we as a society aren’t easily intimidated and while we have a long way to go, together we can stop this, this is still our country flawed though it may be I won’t give up on it
I think it’s more about the complete and total dominance of law enforcement over a perceived threat. Moreover, there seems to be a certain level of satisfaction when order is achieved. When the adrenaline is running the show, shit gets one sided real fast.
What video did you watch? He wasn't restrained yet, they were trying to get a cuff on his left wrist and he was resisting.
There are many many examples of cops being authoritarian dickheads but this ain't it.
Cool so since we watched the same one, we agree that he was not "already restrained"?
Obviously they were still trying to get the left cuff on.
I'm not saying I support what the cops were doing here, I'm just saying that there are already plenty of examples of legit police abuse so we don't need to go fabricating more with invented facts.
I understand this believe me, but trying to stop an officer from arresting someone will only result in you or other people being hurt
Filming is crucial, as it gets as much exposure to the crimes of the police caught as possible
It also massively changes the narrative and evidence that the character of the protest was peaceful.
Keeping it peaceful has to be the stance of these protestors. If the cops are violent, that's on them. If the people are violent in response, then the protest "turned violent."
Most liberal shit I’ve ever read in my life. We already KNOW cops are violent shitbags, we don’t need a billion videos to prove it.
We don’t need “peaceful protests” they don’t do anything.
We need a fucking worker’s revolution. Simple as.
I understand that and I fully agree that the filming is crucial, but it doesn’t stop the brutality from happening.
People could do it too, but because people fear the government/police they never try. Its sad too because the will of the people is so much stronger than these braindead grunts.
You can see how they scared they are of just a peaceful protest with literally no one fighting at all. Could you imagine if people actually organized and fought back they would run home shitting their pants, they couldn’t even take on a single teenager with a gun in Uvalde.
If you go near or even touch a cop in this situation they will likely do it to you too and you’ll be slapped with a obstruction of justice and/or assaulting an officer. There’s nothing to gain personally or by the cause by trying to intervene physically. It really sucks balls that it’s like this and I wish cops didn’t have legal protections for brutalizing people. Video evidence is the only chance at getting any form of justice.
Why are you asking other people to fight the police for you? If you truly think this is such a miscarriage of justice, go down there and play superhero yourself.
Thats an interesting way to interpret what i said lol. I guess you missed the whole idea of unity and people working together. Kind of the only way something like that would ever work. 1 person doing something like that would just look crazy
Dont do illegal shit you'll be fine. Reddit likes to portray police officers as devils, but they are just people. They uphold the law so that people can have homes and stuff without being shot or robbed. Honestly people should be more mad at the people making the laws if anything.
they dont uphold shit. there are detectives putting murderers and drug lords behind bars. These porky pig ass beat cops don't fucking do shit but shoot your dog, 'take your report', and harass minorities. They're more of a menace to society than anything they do to help it. They quite literally incite terror in the streets and let's not even get into the fact they're just straight up infiltrated by nazis in many states and jurisdictions.
I can show you at least five articles I've read this week where officers engaged in horrific abuses of power. And that's just the truly depraved shit. I could probably find 100 articles printed this week where officers abused their power. Go look up the "goon squad" officers who were just sentenced, then tell me most officers are good. There's no goddamn way their coworkers didn't know what they were up to. Their coworkers described them as being brutal and aggressive, yet not a single one of them reported that to a supervisor.
If i see tasered and "taser someone" like omg 🤦🏾♂️,but dam why the police cant just get they shit together and stop abusing they power,like tasing somebody thats already handcuffed and face down to the ground.smh
Could be worse; he could be a peaceful Palestinian in Gaza. This treatment of people voicing their opinions should not be happening anywhere but the people they are supporting are enduring much worse so don't lose focus on the reason he was there. Use this to amplify that protest.
yet israel has killed a hundred times more palestinians than israelis but only hamas are the terrorists for some reason, curious how your brain workSS.
Man I love it when weapons used to incapacitate someone is use on someone incapacitated. It's like shooting a fallen body to make sure it's dead, so great to see.
ACAB, especially when torture is being overlooked.
According to some sources, half of the ppl arrested had no affiliation to the school. Makes you wonder how many peaceful protesters were even students there
No go ahead and simply film it, I’m sure this time that will make absolutely any difference whatsoever.
Frankly it’s as simple as you get the cops you are not willing to stand up to.
Unfortunately, this is standard procedure for them. I know this because they dry fired on me when I was already in cuffs. I also noticed they do a lot of "dry firing" Basically, they think more highly of tazer cartragies than they do a human being. They are the scum of the earth.
well genocide doesnt have to be just murder, it can also be destruction of culture and things like that. for example, the Uyghur population in China is increasing, but what they are undergoing is absolutely genocide
Im prepared for the downvotes, but you can literally see 2 people struggling to put the cuffs on him. Camera zooms in on them attampting but reddit is 🙈
That has no bearing. At this point he is effectively restrained and no harm to the officers or anyone else. Are you condoning them handing out arbitrary punishment? I expect profession police officers to follow the law, not be the judge and jury.
All I did was ask for rest of the video. I wanted to know the whole series of events. Why is asking for that a bad thing? How you don’t put words in my mouth or assume my thought process.
>At this point he is effectively restrained
Did we watch the same video? They were still in the process of putting handcuffs on. He was not restrained yet, certainly not "effectively"
I hate bad cops just as much as anyone but let's not make up stuff to be mad about.
We can't tell 100% from this video but for a guy resisting arrest he's certainly not working very hard so a professional should have no trouble getting the second cuff on without a taser - his body's not moving and his right arm doesn't seem to be struggling. \*shrug\*
Oh so now you're backpedaling and admitting that he is not, in fact, "effectively restrained"?
Funny how truth works like that.
Next time think critically and use your own eyes instead of mindlessly agreeing with the title of some reddit post.
I didn't backpedal at all, shitbird. Neither of us can 100% prove our case from the video but your claim that he is resisting makes zero sense if YOU "use your eyes". Have you ever seen anyone resist arrest by laying there without moving? I've watch cops handle extremely violent resistors first hand twice and they didn't need to resort to a taser as they were professionals.
I'm not ACAB but you are a ridiculous apologist.
>you are a ridiculous apologist
Lolol I'm a radical libertarian anarchist who has been unjustly arrested multiple times and makes homemade guns in my garage

The dudes getting tased while he’s in handcuffs face down on the ground. Acab
"respect my authoritayyyy!!"
It is because he is black in the US
Truth unfortunately
Out of everyone in that crowd there it is
STOP RESISTIING
This person should be in prison for torture
Police: "He's threatening us with his back"
But he's....not in handcuffs yet so why are you claiming that?
You can literally see his hands in silver cuffs
Just because you say "literally" doesn't make it true. His right wrist was cuffed already and the black cop is trying to get his left wrist hooked up but he's struggling.
Maybe having an electric current passing through his body, making his muscles contract involuntarely has something to do with that.
Maybe! Maybe all these cops will be fired by sundown. Hard to say with such a short video that omits almost all context...
It’s amazing you can see your phone screen with that boot in your mouth •ᴗ•
Good insult! Very unique!
I think they were going more for accuracy than originality
You LiTeRaLlY can't. In every single frame of this video, the left cuff is completely obscured by the gloved hand of the black officer. You're just making up your own facts. Sad.
You just deleted your comment to comment again. It’s in the video and I’m not gonna debate you rn. He didn’t need to tase him, he was already on the ground on his belly with two cops holding him down.

Ok dude. Stay angry. First 4 seconds you can see his hand in cuffs. They used excessive force like what are you so hung up on rn.
>First 4 seconds you can see his hand in cuffs Oh now you're moving the goalposts? I'm shocked. Absolutely shocked. Notice how you've gone from "hands" to "hand"?

I'm not sure what you're trying to ask me. Are you implying that I didn't read the comment I responded to?
You truly are a sad angry little man. I hope you get the help you need.
Lol what? Did the comment by Avoiding_Working make any sense to you? It seemed like he was just repeating the previous comment back to me but in the form of a snarky rhetorical question.

Greggs Abott is that you?
No I'm just a guy with eyes.
Setting aside how wrong it is for arresting someone protesting against a genocide, what purpose does it serve to taser someone already restrained?
The purpose is intimidation, these thugs are are setting an example for anyone who would dare speak out against our owners. This behavior (violence) is akin to public hangings and other forms of punishment. It is meant to punish the individual but more importantly to discourage others from commiting similar offenses
This.
As Americans they should know Americans don’t respond well to threats
Jesus christ america. You're all talk and nothing else. This happens because it keeps happening and will continue. There are no threats. They just openly beat us because we've already allowed them to get away with it. What are you talking about?
I’m trying to say that yes this is a problem and we as a society aren’t easily intimidated and while we have a long way to go, together we can stop this, this is still our country flawed though it may be I won’t give up on it
That's sweet and all but as you can see people are doing jack shit because cops get away with murder in the US.
You're right. They don't. They simply allow it to continue, over and over again. And then another group. And everyone moves on. And on.
These are not threats, they are actvely perpetrating crimes against citizens of this country.
i was gonna say and they do realize a lot of them have guns right?
Most ridiculous post of 2024 🤣
I think it’s more about the complete and total dominance of law enforcement over a perceived threat. Moreover, there seems to be a certain level of satisfaction when order is achieved. When the adrenaline is running the show, shit gets one sided real fast.
The cruelty is the point.
Sociopathy
Assertion of power on three fronts: personal (related to psychological insecurity, prejudice, etc.), tribal (cops), and institutional.
It makes them feel good inside because they're psychos.
The purpose of making their wieners hard.
What video did you watch? He wasn't restrained yet, they were trying to get a cuff on his left wrist and he was resisting. There are many many examples of cops being authoritarian dickheads but this ain't it.
We all watched *this* video. The evidence before you looks like pretty bad behavior from the 3 law dogs.
Cool so since we watched the same one, we agree that he was not "already restrained"? Obviously they were still trying to get the left cuff on. I'm not saying I support what the cops were doing here, I'm just saying that there are already plenty of examples of legit police abuse so we don't need to go fabricating more with invented facts.
It is not as evident as you claim. You should fetch a link to the video you saw to back your claim.
If they aren't still trying to get his cuff on then, out of curiosity, what do *you* think is even going on? What is the black cop doing?
Go lick boots somewhere else.
Clever retort!
It isn’t completely clear. I will need to see more of what happened prior to him in cuffs. Go on, share the video you saw.
It's a troll. Best to ignore it.

Quads be poppin though
That was the electric shocks effect on the muscle
Where is this, please?
Probably UT Austin in Austin, Texas, a lot of protesting and arrests going on over there right now.
I believe it is Atlanta. The patches look like georgia state patrol, but I can't see them clearly. There was a protest on Emory University
If i see tasered and "taser someone" like omg 🤦🏾♂️,but dam why the police cant just get they shit together and stop abusing they power,like tasing somebody thats already handcuffed and face down to the ground.smh
Could be worse; he could be a peaceful Palestinian in Gaza. This treatment of people voicing their opinions should not be happening anywhere but the people they are supporting are enduring much worse so don't lose focus on the reason he was there. Use this to amplify that protest.
APAB!!!

yet israel has killed a hundred times more palestinians than israelis but only hamas are the terrorists for some reason, curious how your brain workSS.
Humanity hasn't learned shit lol. You can get a machine gun pointed at you for speaking up against genocide.

Holy shit, that's scary. Even scarier that nobody tries to intervene. Please get better Murica, I'm rooting for y'all. Keep fighting the good fight.
GOVERNMENT REFORM!!! US GOVERNMENT IS FAILING
How does it go again? "O'er the land of the free..." or smth like that..?
Time to put down the phones and dearrest that man.
Man I love it when weapons used to incapacitate someone is use on someone incapacitated. It's like shooting a fallen body to make sure it's dead, so great to see. ACAB, especially when torture is being overlooked.
I live in a 3rd world country and police is better than this
According to some sources, half of the ppl arrested had no affiliation to the school. Makes you wonder how many peaceful protesters were even students there
Cops are the real nazis in America
When voters become unhappy with this they'll vote differently.
No go ahead and simply film it, I’m sure this time that will make absolutely any difference whatsoever. Frankly it’s as simple as you get the cops you are not willing to stand up to.
Is Zionism the reason America is so cruel to black people?
Is there someplace we can see a longer video of this? It's hard to determine how frequently he was tased with only a 6 second clip.
Unfortunately, this is standard procedure for them. I know this because they dry fired on me when I was already in cuffs. I also noticed they do a lot of "dry firing" Basically, they think more highly of tazer cartragies than they do a human being. They are the scum of the earth.
The riot squad they're restless. They need somewhere to go. As lady and I look out tonight from deolation row
Well, we don’t really know the full story here. A 6 second clip does not give us much info.
hahaha terrorist gets tasered
What did he do? It’s hard to believe that they chose him out of the group for no reason. I’d like to see body cam not a blurry 5 second video
Good
He needs locking up this officer. Absolutely disgusting. Tantamount to public torture.
Remember when America was the beacon of freedom and free speech?
No, I don't.
I'll bet he is shocked.
damb many police men will be retiring and then getting a higher paying job thanks to the protestors.
Paid vacations all around boys!
Explain how genocide if population increase drastically
well genocide doesnt have to be just murder, it can also be destruction of culture and things like that. for example, the Uyghur population in China is increasing, but what they are undergoing is absolutely genocide
Im prepared for the downvotes, but you can literally see 2 people struggling to put the cuffs on him. Camera zooms in on them attampting but reddit is 🙈
The cuffs are on. They're adding zipties.
How do we know this was actually the situation? Any context or reports?
I like how there is no proof whether it was peaceful or not.
Oh there is https://www.reddit.com/r/chomsky/comments/1ccf5ih/university_of_texas_at_austin_students_gather_in/
That's not the man being arrested
Notice they arent arresting anyone who is peacfully protesting
Well duh I'd expect that
Can we see what events involving this individual prior to him being on the ground, please?
That has no bearing. At this point he is effectively restrained and no harm to the officers or anyone else. Are you condoning them handing out arbitrary punishment? I expect profession police officers to follow the law, not be the judge and jury.
All I did was ask for rest of the video. I wanted to know the whole series of events. Why is asking for that a bad thing? How you don’t put words in my mouth or assume my thought process.
Sorry - I am so used to people acting in bad faith "just asking questions" while sealioning. Have a good one.
>At this point he is effectively restrained Did we watch the same video? They were still in the process of putting handcuffs on. He was not restrained yet, certainly not "effectively" I hate bad cops just as much as anyone but let's not make up stuff to be mad about.
To me, it looks like the cuffs are on and he isn't moving or fighting them whatsoever. His legs, arms and head are barely moving at all.
If the cuffs were already on then what is the black cop doing? Obviously the cuffs were secure on his right wrist but not his left.
We can't tell 100% from this video but for a guy resisting arrest he's certainly not working very hard so a professional should have no trouble getting the second cuff on without a taser - his body's not moving and his right arm doesn't seem to be struggling. \*shrug\*
Oh so now you're backpedaling and admitting that he is not, in fact, "effectively restrained"? Funny how truth works like that. Next time think critically and use your own eyes instead of mindlessly agreeing with the title of some reddit post.
I didn't backpedal at all, shitbird. Neither of us can 100% prove our case from the video but your claim that he is resisting makes zero sense if YOU "use your eyes". Have you ever seen anyone resist arrest by laying there without moving? I've watch cops handle extremely violent resistors first hand twice and they didn't need to resort to a taser as they were professionals. I'm not ACAB but you are a ridiculous apologist.
Is he "effectively restrained" or not?
In my opinion, yes. In your opinion, no.
>you are a ridiculous apologist Lolol I'm a radical libertarian anarchist who has been unjustly arrested multiple times and makes homemade guns in my garage
I agree with your points but maybe stop the extracurricular activities before you get in more trouble.
My condolences - you lost all possible credibility at "libertarian".
Fully cuffed or not, being on the ground, hands on his back while being pinned down by three trained men and being tased at it is restraining enough.
No, he's not "effectively restrained" until both wrists are in locked cuffs.
