Bad cops

[Leo]

You have to blame the officers here. There are security cameras, cell phones with cameras and so on.Wait till you get to the station basement before the punishment.

Black Man Gets Brutal Beating By The Fucking Pigs!!!

Black Man Gets Brutal Beating By The Fucking Pigs!!!

Talk about police brutality.



A surveillance video obtained by Channel 3 of a confrontation between Chattanooga Police and federal inmate Adam Tatum has prompted a news conference Thursday morning. The confrontation between Chattanooga Police and federal inmate Adam Tatum at the Salvation Army's halfway house last June that put Tatum in the hospital with broken bones and got Officers Sean Emmer and Adam Cooley fired for use of excessive force.

Tatum's attorney, Robin Flores, obtained the video through court order from the Hamilton County District Attorney General's office. He's seeking to have Tatum's convictions thrown out, after Tatum pleaded guilty to assaulting the officers. "We counted at least 200 blows, 200 individual blows," says Tatum's attorney, Robin Flores. "They were dragging him by his broken leg.

At least justice was done. The guy is a bum but there is no way he should have been hit so many times. Specially when he was handcuffed.

Chattanooga police, attorneys for ex-officers respond to video of inmate beating (with video)









Chattanooga Police Chief Bobby Dodd
Remarks made at a news conference this morning concerning a video that showed police officers beating a man.




Chattanooga Police Chief Bobby Dodd called the police beating of federal inmate Adam Tatum one of the worst cases he has seen in his 25-year career.
“Unfortunately we’re in a situation, in an occupation that’s very volatile, sometimes,” Dodd said in a news conference this morning. “Sometimes split-second decisions can end your career and actually put you in jail.
“But our department, the city of Chattanooga, Chattanooga Police Department, we do not condone this activity. Nor will it be tolerated.”

A video released Wednesday night by Adam Tatum’s attorney, Robin Flores, shows former Officers Sean Emmer and Adam Cooley ruthlessly beating Tatum.
At the time of the June 14 incident, Tatum was housed in the Salvation Army building on McCallie Avenue when officers were called to respond to a disorder. Tatum was kicking the door of a control room where staff members were inside.
The building’s surveillance cameras show inmate Adrian McGhee tried to talk Tatum down. At the time, Tatum was wielding a knife when staff members called authorities.
For about 10 minutes, officers delivered blows to Tatum, who was repeatedly told to get on the ground and roll over. Tatum fled to another room initially after the knife was taken away from him, but through much of the struggle, Tatum remained on the ground.



Tatum suffered six fractures to his right leg and two fractures to his left leg, including a compound fracture. His attorney has filed a $50 million lawsuit on his behalf.
Both Emmer and Cooley are appealing to get their jobs back.
Dodd says he will appeal to an administrative law judge to make sure that doesn’t happen.
“I’ll lay the facts out and hopefully that person will look at this and say, ‘It’s excessive. It’s outside the policies. And these officers do not need to be on the streets.’ I personally would not subject the citizens of Chattanooga to these two officers and the type of action they took,” Dodd said.
Within a couple of hours of Dodd’s news conference, attorneys representing Emmer and Cooley issued a statement on behalf of the ex-officers.
“Chattanooga officers are trained to never assume that a suspect has only one weapon. This city has seen officers killed in the line of duty after de-escalating force only to learn that the criminal has a second weapon,” according to a statement from attorneys Stevie Phillips and Bryan Hoss.
“Here, Tatum turned on these officers with a knife and attacked. He repeatedly ignored the lawful orders to ‘stop resisting’ and ‘put your hands behind your back.’”
A Hamilton County grand jury declined to indict the officers. However, it’s possible federal charges will be handed down.



So lets see.

The poor innocent victim was threatening the staff of the salvation army where he was living upon being released from jail.

The ''victim'' had the staff cornered in a control room and was brandishing a knife.

Not much of a victim too me.

I will say that the cops in the video are shown to be completely inept with their ability to control and handcuff a perpetrator.

I mean really, they can't overpower this little weasel? I'd fire them on those grounds alone.

Agree completely. Baton, taser and maybe learn how to actually take someone down with pressure points. All I see in the video is 3 assclowns.

Ass clowns is appropriate here, yes.

 

[Admiral]

About time the union or hide what the brotherly officers have done away from the media. Those cops are just racists.

 

[Snail]

Send the cops to Syria.

 

[Madman]

I totally agree with HOF and Bosco. All one has to do is look at the size of the 2 officers, my god if they can't subdue and handcuff the idiot with sheer brute strength and not vicious blows then we have a problem. Then add in proper technique and they would still have their jobs today.

 

[Maurice Boscorelli]

what? what justice??? they got FIRED... you call that JUSTICE. I call that a JOKE. I'd like to see them sit on the floor and take 200 hard shots. Bastards.

The justice is that the convicted felon who was threatening innocent people with a knife and would not do what was asked of him got a thrashing.

 

[Maurice Boscorelli]

I must have missed that part of the video. I understood he was accusing of assault and wielding a knife and police were called. I don't think what he suffered is just punishment for someone who hasn't even seen the inside of a courtroom yet...

And if he killed someone close too you? How would you feel then?

Listen these cops went way over board I agree.

With proper training they should have been able to subdue and restrain him in handcuffs fairly quickly.

But I don't feel sorry for perp at all. All he had to do was roll over and let himself be handcuffed.

 

[Maurice Boscorelli]

From where I sit there's those cops are way more dangerous that that little guy. Sure roll over, let me break your other leg ...

Well lets hope you are never attacked by a little guy with a knife then.

Something tells me your tune would change mighty quick.

 

[Maurice Boscorelli]

well ok you go ahead and hope that for me.
... I'm gonna hope I never get accused of carrying a knife and have two cops beat me half to death.
that should cover it ...

I see you have authority issues.

 

[-b]

The Police should be showing restrain as they taught to do that....

The Police should be the kind of people your children look up too...
not abusers.....

We have the Police to protect all....

 

[Pussy_Eater]

I see you have authority issues.

No she sees abuse of authority. Agree that this douchbag should be in jail for picking on the weak ones and heck give him a beating. But buddy these cops have inner anger mental issues. Teach a fuckhead not to mess with innocent people but don't go ovecommunity. Which they did.

I just simple call them mean human beings.

 

[Maurice Boscorelli]

I see you have plenty of issues ... but I'm not getting personal... am I?

Get personal if you want too then. I'm up for it.

 

[Pussy_Eater]

We have the Police to protect all....

You are living in a dream world Ms. Bliss. The Kennedy era died when the bad guys killed his and many millions' dreams. Remember, power means greed and corruption.

 

[Maurice Boscorelli]

.Agreed

But buddy these cops have inner anger mental issues..

That and they are just plain useless at their job.
