What, no MAGA cap, Brad?

[Walleye]

1. Why didn't they kneel on his neck?

It was a nice tackle though.

[yellowcanine]

7. Yep. Brad boy is lucky he didn't break his left wrist. Bet it smarted some.

[bottomofthehill]

2. He is a big boy.

[Abnredleg]

6. 6' 8" /NT

[dixiegrrrrl]

19. Bravo on the cop tackling him then.

I had forgotten he was so big.

[Talitha]

32. The bigger they are...

[cwydro]

21. Yes, in Woodward's book, he quotes Parscale as saying trump told Parscale not to stand next to him.

[bottomofthehill]

42. Holy Crap

The President is not as tall as he says he is but is still all of 6'1-6'2ish

[argyl]

73. I don't recall any photos of Barron standing by the Dotard at his acceptance speech.

The kid towers over him now. At 14 he looks to be about
6'5".
Maybe Melania found herself an Eastern European basketball player for a lover.

[JI7]

77. There was a book written which said Trump became Jealous of Barron when he got Tall

[LeftInTX]

3. Oh the humanity!

[guillaumeb]

4. If he were black, he would have been shot, perhaps 7 times.

However, in the post-racial USA, he was allowed to resist.

[ecstatic]

20. +1000. Especially at 6'8"!!! nt

[honest.abe]

5. Lovely!

Hope to see a repeat of that with the rest of the Trump crime family and their goons.

[yellowcanine]

12. Yeah, with any luck Junior will resist arrest and get taken down.

[elias7]

8. Of course the Trump campaign blames the Dems for how they treated him

The default move for everything is to blame the Dems.

It rained. Those damn Democrats...

[captain queeg]

9. As much as I hate Trumpers I don't see why they had to tackle him

I guess if he’d got on the ground like they told him he could have avoided it. At least rich white guys aren’t immune.

[safeinOhio]

13. Look at the cops arms....

Steroids.

[captain queeg]

16. I think there's a lot of that with cops nowadays. And soldiers.

[cwydro]

22. And what was with the one guy with the heavy duty looking weapon covering them?

We’re they expecting an armed uprising of other bros in cargo shorts?

[yellowcanine]

14. It seems he may have been stalling and arguing with them. I think it was a good take down.

He is still alive, saved by his white skin.

[greenjar_01]

15. This guy's entire campaign strategy was essentially "Tell white folks police brutality is awesome"

I mean, there's some minor cosmic justice here.

[JI7]

28. +++

[uponit7771]

30. +1, My soul laughed a little after reading this

[uponit7771]

31. +1, after this summer we know they aren't immune I know I get treated worse. I would've been shot 5

... times in the leg for being too peaceful while black on my on property or something.

[JI7]

36. and Parscale would have cheered it on

Fuck him. no sympathy from me.

[uponit7771]

41. Right !!

[bottomofthehill]

10. Every cops nightmare

Domestic with armed parties and alcohol involved.

[honest.abe]

11. I think the lady in the towel said he had a gun and might use it.

I think they followed standard protocol for the situation.

[sprinkleeninow]

17. why the wet concrete? PP? 💧

[RANDYWILDMAN]

18. I didn't do anything...

seems like he was treated a lot better then Brieonna Taylor

[melman]

23. This guy is trash but why does this require a dozen cops armed like a fucking infantry unit?

It's insane. Police are so out of control in this country.


And before anyone accuses me of being pro-Parscale what I am is anti-cop. Consistently.

[jorgevlorgan]

25. Same

Absolutely horrendous.

[yellowcanine]

27. His wife told the cops about all the guns. They found 10 guns. Better safe than sorry.

It was potentially a barricade situation with an inebriated well armed suspect. I would say they had to go in loaded for bear.

[George II]

29. Exactly. That was about 3 minutes of a long standoff. Who knows what he said or did before that...

He could have been threatening them from inside before he went out. He could have had more guns in that white truck. Who knows? He was told to get on the ground, he didn't (although he wasn't given much time) Other than tackling him they did nothing out of the ordinary.

As for not liking cops, I hope everyone remembers that the next time they need help and a cop shows up. Perhaps he/she should refuse help?

[JI7]

33. Parscale doesn't think it's so bad .

[JI7]

51. Parscale is out of control. It's an insult of real victims of police abuse to compare

it to what happened to the white supremacist thug Parscale.

[jorgevlorgan]

24. Excessive force doesn't seem to have it's limitations

More evidence of how badly police reform is needed. Sure he's probably alive because he's white, but that doesn't excuse what they did.

[JI7]

34. Police Reform is needed but this isn't an example of why

[jorgevlorgan]

37. Any use of excessive force that isn't held accountable is an example

It doesn't matter who they are doing it to.

[JI7]

46. No. the problem is white racists

[eissa]

26. I was totally expecting some drunken

belligerent behavior, but he was actually calm. Was there no way the cops could have handcuffed him without tackling him like that? He could have easily broken something with that hit.

[JI7]

35. Parscale supports this

[jorgevlorgan]

38. The difference between me and dirtbags like him is I don't support it even if it happens to him

I don't suddenly change my mind about police conduct based on who it is happening to. He likely thinks they went overboard with him and deserved better treatment because he was white and in a powerful position, while being totally okay with it happening to others every day.

[JI7]

40. He had attacked his wife. It's not like they took him down for having skittles

[jorgevlorgan]

43. Was he attacking his wife at that very moment? Was he a threat to anybody at that point?

Excessive force isn't warranted based on what they did or allegedly did. Force is warranted based on what they are doing. For example, if he was lunging at them with a knife, that would have been acceptable. In this case, he was calm, drinking a beer and not threatening anybody. They could have likely easily apprehended him without risk of harming him.

[JI7]

44. I think they went easy on him

[jorgevlorgan]

45. They are lucky they didn't break his head open on the pavement and kill him.

So is he, for that matter.

[JI7]

47. Yeah. if he was black it would have been ok by Parscale

[jorgevlorgan]

48. True

But my standards of police conduct apply universally. Although it is infuriating when police buy a mass shooter a hamburger. It isn't because they shouldn't necessarily buy him a hamburger, but rather they should be doing the same for the guy who allegedly forged a check, as well (ya know, instead of murder him). I don't personally believe people forfeit their right to be treated humanely because they did something terrible or committed a crime.

[JI7]

50. There is no universal application because of people like Parscale. I hope to see Trump get the same

treatment but even more rought .

Parscale is a piece of shit who loves to see the lives of non white people destroyed.

Parscale got what he deserved . He threatened his wife with a gun. HIs case isn't even on the same level as black people who were killled with many who did not even need to be stopped in the first place.

[jorgevlorgan]

52. More truth

Still, I can hate Parscale and still think he shouldn't be treated inhumanely for being the lousy piece of shit he is.

[JI7]

54. He wasn't treated inhumanely

[jorgevlorgan]

56. Shoving somebody on the ground when they are not a threat to anybody is inhumane, to me.

Especially when it could risk serious injury or death in the process. All he needed to do was fall the wrong way -something we have seen all too often in similar take downs of people of color.

[JI7]

57. He had physically abused his wife and she said he had guns

[jorgevlorgan]

58. Again, not the issue

If alleged crimes justified police brutality, most police brutality would be justified. He was not beating his wife or carrying any weapons at the time the excessive force was used.

[JI7]

59. He could have had a weapon inside his clothes. He got off easy . He isn't a victim .

[jorgevlorgan]

60. That's literally the excuse for almost all police brutality.

And not a very good one, in my opinion. What he could've had done or had is very different from what he was doing. He was comfortable, calm, drinking a beer and clearly not a threat to anybody at that particular moment. Police response must be based on what is physically happening, not what is imagined.

[JI7]

61. His wife reported him. This isn't comparable to real cases of police abuse . Parscale is a piece of

shit that got off easy .

[jorgevlorgan]

63. An unarmed man was shoved to the ground by police

He was not in the process of threatening anybody and hedid not have any weapons in his hands. It is a case of excessive force. That fall could have injured him substantially. Again, police response must be based on the immediate threat at hand: a man walking in front of his house with a beer calmly explaining what was happening, is not a reasonable threat to anybody -I don't care if it is adolf hitler himself: police conduct must be humane at handling all situations, otherwise we will continue to see the kind of shit we saw with George Floyd, if we don't demand it in all cases.

[JI7]

64. We see the shit with because Floyd is Black and White Trash like Parscale celebrate it

when it's done to black and brown people.

There is no comparison of what Happened to Parscale with what happened to Floyd .

Parscale deserved every bit and even more than he got. And Trump deserves it also.

[jorgevlorgan]

65. Nobody deserves that

Eye for an eye doesn't work. If it did, our society would already be perfect.


On edit:And no amount police brutality would make right the wrongs that Parscale is responsible for.

[JI7]

66. There was no police brutality in the case of Parscale . the brutality was done by Parscale

against others.

There is NOT comparison of what happened to Parscale with what happened to Floyd .

[jorgevlorgan]

67. Yes excessive force is considered police brutality

Even if minor. It was excessive and unnecessary.And using it against somebody who supports it doesn't make it more right.


Poetic, maybe. But not right.

[JI7]

68. There was no excessive force . He had refused to come out and had a bunch of guns in the home

and his wife said he was armed.

[jorgevlorgan]

69. It was excessive because he was not in he process of threatening anybody

He was calm, had no weapons and could have easily been detained (I've seen plenty of this on ride alongs of my own). There was no lack of compliance at that particular moment he was talking to his friend. All they had to say was "sir, for your safety and the safety of others, we are putting you under arrest."

[JI7]

70. lol , the fucker should have been dragged off and thrown into a cage

[jorgevlorgan]

71. That also, would be "police brutality"

Our standards of conduct should not changed based on the character of the person being arrested. If you don't think it should happen to a black man with the same accusations with the same level of threat, it should not happen to Parscale -even if the reality still treated Parscale far better than a black man in that situation.

[JI7]

72. a black guy would have been dead . You are denying the problem and worried more about

how you appear rather than facing what the real problem is.

Do you have a problem with the Bin Laden Raid ? Do you think he should have been allowed to come out and be arrested instead of them charging in and killing him ?

[jorgevlorgan]

74. I said that already (edited if you missed it)

The point is equal treatment no matter what. Not "drag him out on the street and throw him I'm a cage if he ever advocated such things"

[JI7]

75. He is getting better treatment. The fucker had a friend cop come out and he didn't listen

and the friend called another friend cop to come out.

It's such bs to claim this fucker was violated in any way. He was actually accused of abuse by someone who actually knew him.

Not some random dumbass racist piece of shit that just sees a black person and calls the cops .

[jorgevlorgan]

76. I don't think that matters.

Harming people unnecessarily even if they broke the law or harmed others is still unnecessary. He was thrown to the ground without any reasonable provocation to do so. It was a violation, unless you think that is something that should be universally applied to everybody who is accused of such a crime?

[eissa]

53. Just to be clear

I wouldn’t shed any tears if Parscale was injured. But for the sake of consistency, I think we should expect police to not use excessive force when it’s not warranted, even with assholes like Parscale.

[JI7]

55. In this case it was warranted .

[LeftInTX]

62. Something like that happened to one of my friends

She was protesting in front of one of those children's immigrant detention centers. A deputy (not ICE) threatened to arrest someone or something. He didn't threaten my friend. She goes up to the deputy and says, "Take me. Arrest me". Bam...they slammed her to the ground and charged her with resisting arrest.

I guess there is no such thing as a peaceful arrest anymore.

[Catherine Vincent]

39. He forgot to zip his pants

[Judi Lynn]

49. Why won't they leave Brad Pascale alone?

[LeftInTX]

78. Florida Man!

BTW: Trump is now also Florida Man
