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."

Yes, in Woodward's book, he quotes Parscale as saying trump told Parscale not to stand next to him. cwydro Sep 2020 #21

Holy Crap bottomofthehill Sep 2020 #42

I don't recall any photos of Barron standing by the Dotard at his acceptance speech. argyl Sep 2020 #73

There was a book written which said Trump became Jealous of Barron when he got Tall JI7 Sep 2020 #77

Oh the humanity! LeftInTX Sep 2020 #3

Lovely! honest.abe Sep 2020 #5

Yeah, with any luck Junior will resist arrest and get taken down. yellowcanine Sep 2020 #12

Of course the Trump campaign blames the Dems for how they treated him elias7 Sep 2020 #8

As much as I hate Trumpers I don't see why they had to tackle him captain queeg Sep 2020 #9

Look at the cops arms.... safeinOhio Sep 2020 #13

I think there's a lot of that with cops nowadays. And soldiers. captain queeg Sep 2020 #16

And what was with the one guy with the heavy duty looking weapon covering them? cwydro Sep 2020 #22

It seems he may have been stalling and arguing with them. I think it was a good take down. yellowcanine Sep 2020 #14

This guy's entire campaign strategy was essentially "Tell white folks police brutality is awesome" greenjar_01 Sep 2020 #15

+1, My soul laughed a little after reading this uponit7771 Sep 2020 #30

+1, after this summer we know they aren't immune I know I get treated worse. I would've been shot 5 uponit7771 Sep 2020 #31

and Parscale would have cheered it on JI7 Sep 2020 #36

Right !! uponit7771 Sep 2020 #41

I didn't do anything... RANDYWILDMAN Sep 2020 #18

This guy is trash but why does this require a dozen cops armed like a fucking infantry unit? melman Sep 2020 #23

Same jorgevlorgan Sep 2020 #25

His wife told the cops about all the guns. They found 10 guns. Better safe than sorry. yellowcanine Sep 2020 #27

Exactly. That was about 3 minutes of a long standoff. Who knows what he said or did before that... George II Sep 2020 #29

Parscale doesn't think it's so bad . JI7 Sep 2020 #33

Parscale is out of control. It's an insult of real victims of police abuse to compare JI7 Sep 2020 #51

Excessive force doesn't seem to have it's limitations jorgevlorgan Sep 2020 #24

Police Reform is needed but this isn't an example of why JI7 Sep 2020 #34

Any use of excessive force that isn't held accountable is an example jorgevlorgan Sep 2020 #37

No. the problem is white racists JI7 Sep 2020 #46

I was totally expecting some drunken eissa Sep 2020 #26

Parscale supports this JI7 Sep 2020 #35

The difference between me and dirtbags like him is I don't support it even if it happens to him jorgevlorgan Sep 2020 #38

He had attacked his wife. It's not like they took him down for having skittles JI7 Sep 2020 #40

Was he attacking his wife at that very moment? Was he a threat to anybody at that point? jorgevlorgan Sep 2020 #43

I think they went easy on him JI7 Sep 2020 #44

They are lucky they didn't break his head open on the pavement and kill him. jorgevlorgan Sep 2020 #45

Yeah. if he was black it would have been ok by Parscale JI7 Sep 2020 #47

True jorgevlorgan Sep 2020 #48

There is no universal application because of people like Parscale. I hope to see Trump get the same JI7 Sep 2020 #50

More truth jorgevlorgan Sep 2020 #52

He wasn't treated inhumanely JI7 Sep 2020 #54

Shoving somebody on the ground when they are not a threat to anybody is inhumane, to me. jorgevlorgan Sep 2020 #56

He had physically abused his wife and she said he had guns JI7 Sep 2020 #57

Again, not the issue jorgevlorgan Sep 2020 #58

He could have had a weapon inside his clothes. He got off easy . He isn't a victim . JI7 Sep 2020 #59

That's literally the excuse for almost all police brutality. jorgevlorgan Sep 2020 #60

His wife reported him. This isn't comparable to real cases of police abuse . Parscale is a piece of JI7 Sep 2020 #61

An unarmed man was shoved to the ground by police jorgevlorgan Sep 2020 #63

We see the shit with because Floyd is Black and White Trash like Parscale celebrate it JI7 Sep 2020 #64

Nobody deserves that jorgevlorgan Sep 2020 #65

There was no police brutality in the case of Parscale . the brutality was done by Parscale JI7 Sep 2020 #66

Yes excessive force is considered police brutality jorgevlorgan Sep 2020 #67

There was no excessive force . He had refused to come out and had a bunch of guns in the home JI7 Sep 2020 #68

It was excessive because he was not in he process of threatening anybody jorgevlorgan Sep 2020 #69

lol , the fucker should have been dragged off and thrown into a cage JI7 Sep 2020 #70

That also, would be "police brutality" jorgevlorgan Sep 2020 #71

a black guy would have been dead . You are denying the problem and worried more about JI7 Sep 2020 #72

I said that already (edited if you missed it) jorgevlorgan Sep 2020 #74

He is getting better treatment. The fucker had a friend cop come out and he didn't listen JI7 Sep 2020 #75

I don't think that matters. jorgevlorgan Sep 2020 #76

Just to be clear eissa Sep 2020 #53

In this case it was warranted . JI7 Sep 2020 #55

Something like that happened to one of my friends LeftInTX Sep 2020 #62

He forgot to zip his pants Catherine Vincent Sep 2020 #39

Why won't they leave Brad Pascale alone? Judi Lynn Sep 2020 #49
