Home Tallahassee Florida Community activists want answers in Lakeland Police officer punching man video
first thing that should be done is enforce the body cameras. They all have them, that is well known, but they say they can use them at their own discretion, so there is never any video of events. Then people say well we need context we don't know how it started. well if you don't see how it started its because the body cam is off or the video from the cam is squashed. that should give you a hint about who is in the wrong. Show us the body cam footage.
Make this go viral. Required all police to wear body cams. This video is from his daughter or neighbor the cops here do this all the time. Why is Lakeland police department hiding these officers behavior. None of them stopped it!!!! They actually helped by double tazing him while being punched dead in the face back to back. It's not safe for the black community in Polk county. This is a very small view of what actually happens. If we don't stand together this will continue
Another Entitled-American who din-do-nuffin.
Nobody gives a rats ass what the communist activist demand!
I think you guys need to get rid of the activists. I mean I agree you shouldn't be punching people but.. these activists are actually also wrong so two wrongs don't make a right.
Lakeland PD is garbage! One of the most corrupt in Florida
More context as well as audio is necessary
Complicate Liabilty
I thought that now it is legal for medical, you cant claim the smell as suspicious
Considering a possession of marijuana the main charge not sure about the rest he might have been trying to defend himself.
the story is EDUCATION attacked HARD by GOP.. = that , @ both ' sides
that's what GOP aimed for.. or whatev pvtin party.. lame .
where's the pot jobs? oh my bad went to gazprom ru guy @ curaleaf.. and pos miller w. his anti black farmer crap.. what a d.
Bvsh era really roosted insanely
FL is ending up like Cuba.. so i hear on 91. 3.. wpb today. i'll post those interviews.. already posted about Hialeah before..
Wow. And we are supposed to respect the police. HOW can we🤬
Bitch tasered me for smoking a fucking cigarette does it again I'll beat his ass again
Nothing will happen, it’s called Qualified Immunity
All officers need charged and never to b a cop again
There’s no seats the only delay is the officers don’t want to b caught this is why Grady don’t want them
We need a huge change I was locked up on self defense charges and beat it but sat n jail a week and had bloody pants from surgery they didn’t care
Good thing there was a girl there to record if not Grady would of said he was trying to shoot the cops
Officers r supposed to deescalte
Officers r supposed to deescalte
Officers r supposed to deescalte
Arrest him charge him now !and the rest of the gang ! Iam sick of bad cops !
Every single 1 of those officers should be charged with a crime and lose their jobs! ThereThey are all committing crime!
No matter how many many times you teach a man to fish yet he's still refuses to fish you have to turn your back and just let them starve.
Notice he said they should have brought him a check. Lol these thugs would take a bullet for crack money. Tell us the guys record, what was happening, did he spit on the officer? Typical racial crap. Respect your local police and they will do the same
100% justified!! we need more of this!
I see Lots of commenters back the blue unless it's inconvenient like what happened on J-6.
He has his hands up so that was overkill and an abuse of power.
Sue the police!
Maybe Antwon had it coming.
Lol…just now?… BAHAHA
just send him to the next county….shhhh
Don't jump to conclusions until we have the whole story. If cop was out line then charges brought again him. I back the Blue, BUT some go to far.
The mo_ron in this case was resisting being subdued and wildly flailing about instead of following directions and turning over and putting his hands behind his back. BTW .. where in the hell is the REST of this video recording folks??? Nice when you can cherry pic bits and clips out of the whole story tailored to your biased narrative eh??!
Cops a wuss can't control his emotions.
I don't condone the officer but people don't do the crime
They dont like cameras because they tell the truth. Bad cops.
Ok, you wanna get more body worn cameras out there? Start by taking that money you use to militarize the police and invest that into body worn cameras. It's very simple and it costs less than all that military gear you buy.
Where's the whole story? Never the whole story. No one believes or trusts the legacy media.
Cops are crooks.
No. What should have been said is. This is a PARTIAL video of LPD officer punching a person. Furthermore we need to see the entire video not a partial clip.. please no woke narrative..
