"[Officer] Timberlake seemed to come from behind the ambulance and then tased the man soon after coming into the body cam’s frame.

He ordered the man to roll over while he put his knee on his back and tased the man in his neck while he was on the ground."

1. Good

I hope that the tide is turning on these abusive practices.

2. First thing is to get the white nationalist off police forces.

A bit of social media search might turn up a bunch of them.

6. Agreed.

There's been a concerted effort by racist groups to infiltrate police forces across the country. They need to be rooted out and removed no matter what jurisdiction they're in. Infiltrating wasn't all that difficult. It's a hard job and the pay is crap, so entrance requirements are ridiculously low for the amount of authority a single cop has. Compared to other western nations, we're a cruel joke in that regard.

this cop's defense?
