In reply to the discussion: Tennessee state trooper Harvey Briggs goes on power trip. Rips mask off man [View all]Jillgirl
(68 posts)25. Listen to the way the cop makes stuff up . . .
accusing Golden of "impeding" cops who are standing about 10 feet away from him, and of "making stuff up" when he points out that Briggs just stood up close to Golden and ripped his mask off.
Some cops are still living in a world where in every he said/she said -- and there used to be lots of them -- people believed the cop. They got into the habit of lying constantly. Thank God for a video camera on every phone.

Abuse of power does not deny the factual existence of racism within law enforcement.

And what gets me is that the cops he was filming never paid any attention to him.
