Replying to @fortjacksoncsmT
The leaders at Fort Jackson in no way condone the behavior depicted in the video and will work closely with each law enforcement agency as investigations move forward.

Fort Jackson Post CSM
@fortjacksoncsmT
The command team, our Criminal Investigation Division (Army CID) agents, and our Staff Judge Advocate teams are all engaged with their professional counterparts and civil authorities to seek the facts which will determine how the investigations progress.

Victory! Starts Here!!

THIS IS PENTLAND.

[brush]

1. Is this about the Pentland video?

[Nevilledog]

2. Yes.

[Lokee11]

3. I assume this is about the douche

in this post - https://www.democraticunderground.com/100215334768#post31

J. Petulance - I mean J. Pentland, Correct?

✊!

[Nevilledog]

4. Yes

[progressoid]

7. Thanks.

I didn't know what this was about.

[Journeyman]

5. Wonder what he's been charged with . . .

[CatWoman]

6. how about we start with harassment

and assault?

[Hassin Bin Sober]

8. I think I read somewhere the local police declined battery charges.

If so, the cops need to be investigated.

I’m so sick of cops looking the other way for right wing jagoffs assaulting people but arresting people for brushing up against a cop - like that one case the cop threatened a protester with arrest if one of her bubbles touched him.

[Solomon]

31. How 'bout adding battery which is what he did. Assault is a threat, battery is an unwanted touching

He committed battery at least twice. Shoving the victim, and knocking the phone from him.

9. could you please include some context in your post?

what soldier?

13. if you could please

put a link to the video or some context into your OP there wouldn't be so many people asking what this is about.

all you have to do is hit "edit" and put this link in the OP

IMHO if you're going to talk about a video in an OP, it is helpful to the readers to provide a link to the video or at least some context about what the video is. I'm not the only one who was clueless.

putting it in the OP is much more helpful than in this reply to a reply.

note, 4 out of the 5 responses to your OP are asking what this is about.

thanks

[Treefrog]

22. I agree. I find contextless posts very annoying.

We don’t all sit in front of tvs or computers all day.

[CatWoman]

29. it's not my op, Hon

[niyad]

14. Thank you for this information. I had been away from my computer for some time.

[CatWoman]

30. ....

[gldstwmn]

15. Good news!

[Ferrets are Cool]

16. I am so happy about this. I just hope the charges stick.

And that they include battery.

[Submariner]

17. This is now a page in his military history file. His career is now toast

if they don't discharge him, he will be transferred out to finish his twenty before retirement, if they let him.

[Jilly_in_VA]

18. In any case

he will no longer be a DI, which I understand was his current status. Makes you wonder how he treated his Black troops. What a johnson!

[Treefrog]

21. And his female troops! That's pure male toxicity right there.

I almost thought I recognized him because he seemed so familiar. Sad.

[Jilly_in_VA]

23. He's a type

as my dad would say. He kinda reminded me of a sergeant my son pointed out to me (another DI, not his) when he was graduating from basic at Ft. Jackson. This guy was boasting about what a great runner he was and challenging all and sundry to a race (5K maybe, I forget now) if anyone could beat him. So my kid, 19 years old and a former cross-country runner, who probably weighed in at 135 lbs at the time, gets pushed to the front by his buddies and after a minute he's all in. And he beats the guy....who collapsed just across the finish line. Guy did not know my son had been a cross-country runner and had been running in the front pack during all of basic

[Treefrog]

25. He is absolutely a type. You said that perfectly.

If he only had facial hair, lol, he’d look like the losers at the Capitol insurrection.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

28. If they put a Letter of Reprimand in his jacket,

then he's fucked when it comes time for him to re-up, as it should be.

[CanonRay]

19. They'll bust him

and then he'll join Oath Keepers! He's a perfect recruit for them.

[Jilly_in_VA]

24. Yeah

he's definitely an Oaf Kreeper!

[Jon King]

20. What a coward.

Just imagine how any people he has bullied from an early age. Finally he will get a tiny bit of what he deserves.

[kimbutgar]

26. Since I've seen this video this morning I have been really angry

So one of black man can’t even walk in their neighborhood and be attacked by a military jerk? I hope the guy faces severe consequences for his actions.

[Gore1FL]

27. Here is the video for context
