Footage then shows Higley attempt to take the woman into custody. The lady resists, striking Higley in the face, hard, two times. Finally, Officer Terry Love clearly sees enough of this. He delivers a haymaker from behind that drops the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immediately, people nearby gather and grow angry. The crowd grows more intense, giving the feeling they might descend on officers at any minute.

We have completed a thorough review of this unfortunate incident, and while we strongly disagree with the action the Officer took, it does not rise to the level of illegality.

Baltimore Cop Knocks Out Woman After Attacking Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The footage went viral, the alleged next in a too-long line of videos showcasing police brutality against African Americans. Only this time it wasn't. And when the police body cam footage finally came to light, we saw an entirely different story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police footage <\/a>shows the woman first drive erratically through a police checkpoint on the night of May 29. Officers had closed the intersection.

Once out of the vehicle, she immediately gets loud and goes on the defensive. \"Don't touch me,\" she yells. \"I feel attacked.\" Then she turns threatening. \"If you don't violate my rights, I won't violate yours,\" she says to Higley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage then shows Higley attempt to take the woman into custody. The lady resists, striking Higley in the face, hard, two times. Finally, Officer Terry Love clearly sees enough of this. He delivers a haymaker from behind that drops the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immediately, people nearby gather and grow angry. The crowd grows more intense, giving the feeling they might descend on officers at any minute. Higley says several times to the crowd that the woman hit him first. But while people in the crowd became angry, officials saw the incident differently.

At first glance, it looked like another case of what the entire world seems to be protesting. A flash of video as two cops wrestle with a lone black woman. Then from out of nowhere, a Baltimore cop sends a devastating right hook into her face, knocking the woman out. <\/p>\n\n\n

Baltimore Cop Knocks Out Woman After Attacking Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The footage went viral, the alleged next in a too-long line of videos showcasing police brutality against African Americans. Only this time it wasn't. And when the police body cam footage finally came to light, we saw an entirely different story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police footage <\/a>shows the woman first drive erratically through a police checkpoint on the night of May 29. Officers had closed the intersection. But the woman inexplicably makes a U-turn, and appears to swerve toward an officer. That's when Sgt. Graig Higley drew his gun and ordered the woman out of the vehicle, reported baltimore.cbslocal.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once out of the vehicle, she immediately gets loud and goes on the defensive. \"Don't touch me,\" she yells. \"I feel attacked.\" Then she turns threatening. \"If you don't violate my rights, I won't violate yours,\" she says to Higley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage then shows Higley attempt to take the woman into custody. The lady resists, striking Higley in the face, hard, two times. Finally, Officer Terry Love clearly sees enough of this. He delivers a haymaker from behind that drops the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immediately, people nearby gather and grow angry. The crowd grows more intense, giving the feeling they might descend on officers at any minute. Higley says several times to the crowd that the woman hit him first. But while people in the crowd became angry, officials saw the incident differently. The Baltimore City State's Attorney's Office issued the following statement: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

We have completed a thorough review of this unfortunate incident, and while we strongly disagree with the action the Officer took, it does not rise to the level of illegality. The Officer had other options he could have pursued to de-escalate the situation rather than striking the woman with a closed fist, and we recommend that BPD review this officer\u2019s conduct in the immediate instance, consider his past record of conduct, and take appropriate internal action.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

After the amateur video first went viral, City Council President and mayoral candidate Brandon Scott called Love's action \"unacceptable,\" reported baltimore.cbslocal.com. Meanwhile, Mayor Bernard C. \"Jack\" Young called it \"deeply disturbing.\" However, the police union said the \"officer was protecting his colleague from further attack.

Baltimore Cop Knocks Out Woman After Attacking Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The footage went viral, the alleged next in a too-long line of videos showcasing police brutality against African Americans. Only this time it wasn't. And when the police body cam footage finally came to light, we saw an entirely different story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police footage <\/a>shows the woman first drive erratically through a police checkpoint on the night of May 29. Officers had closed the intersection. But the woman inexplicably makes a U-turn, and appears to swerve toward an officer. That's when Sgt. Graig Higley drew his gun and ordered the woman out of the vehicle, reported baltimore.cbslocal.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once out of the vehicle, she immediately gets loud and goes on the defensive. \"Don't touch me,\" she yells. \"I feel attacked.\" Then she turns threatening. \"If you don't violate my rights, I won't violate yours,\" she says to Higley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage then shows Higley attempt to take the woman into custody. The lady resists, striking Higley in the face, hard, two times. Finally, Officer Terry Love clearly sees enough of this. He delivers a haymaker from behind that drops the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immediately, people nearby gather and grow angry. The crowd grows more intense, giving the feeling they might descend on officers at any minute. Higley says several times to the crowd that the woman hit him first. But while people in the crowd became angry, officials saw the incident differently. The Baltimore City State's Attorney's Office issued the following statement: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have completed a thorough review of this unfortunate incident, and while we strongly disagree with the action the Officer took, it does not rise to the level of illegality.

After the amateur video first went viral, City Council President and mayoral candidate Brandon Scott called Love's action \"unacceptable,\" reported baltimore.cbslocal.com.

The incident began when officers responded to a 9-1-1 call. The report described a man \"walking int he street shouting that he needed oxygen,\" reported abcnews.com<\/a>. Footage shows the man walking in the street as officers respond. He appears possibly under the influence, or struggling in some other manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After an officer and an EMT attempt to calm the man, Officer Tyler Timberlake comes from behind, deploying a Taser into the suspect. While it subdues him momentarily, the man eventually begins resisting again. Timberlake then appears to strike the man in the head with the Taser. He continues to deploy the Taser repeatedly into the man's back, as blood runs down the man's shoulder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The video also erodes the public's trust of police officers, not only in Fairfax County but throughout this world,\" Col. Edwin C. Roessler Jr. said Saturday at a press briefing on the incident. \"These acts are unacceptable.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possibly most damning, the video shows Timberlake, for a moment, deploy the same knee pin tactic used by Chauvin on George Floyd. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We are fortunate that this technology was in use in the region of the county within which this incident occurred,\" said Fairfax County Commonwealth's Attorney Steve Descano in a news briefing, reported abcnews.com. \"Without it, I fear we would have had an unfortunately narrow and somewhat distorted view of what happened in one of our own neighborhoods.\"<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Fairfax County Officer Tases Suspect, Charged With Assault","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"fairfax-county-officer-charged","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:14:28","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:14:28","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/06\/09\/fairfax-county-officer-charged\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":126248,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2020-06-05 11:53:09","post_date_gmt":"2020-06-05 15:53:09","post_content":"\n

At first glance, it looked like another case of what the entire world seems to be protesting. A flash of video as two cops wrestle with a lone black woman. Then from out of nowhere, a Baltimore cop sends a devastating right hook into her face, knocking the woman out. <\/p>\n\n\n

Baltimore Cop Knocks Out Woman After Attacking Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The footage went viral, the alleged next in a too-long line of videos showcasing police brutality against African Americans. Only this time it wasn't. And when the police body cam footage finally came to light, we saw an entirely different story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police footage <\/a>shows the woman first drive erratically through a police checkpoint on the night of May 29. Officers had closed the intersection. But the woman inexplicably makes a U-turn, and appears to swerve toward an officer. That's when Sgt. Graig Higley drew his gun and ordered the woman out of the vehicle, reported baltimore.cbslocal.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once out of the vehicle, she immediately gets loud and goes on the defensive. \"Don't touch me,\" she yells. \"I feel attacked.\" Then she turns threatening. \"If you don't violate my rights, I won't violate yours,\" she says to Higley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage then shows Higley attempt to take the woman into custody. The lady resists, striking Higley in the face, hard, two times. Finally, Officer Terry Love clearly sees enough of this. He delivers a haymaker from behind that drops the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immediately, people nearby gather and grow angry. The crowd grows more intense, giving the feeling they might descend on officers at any minute. Higley says several times to the crowd that the woman hit him first. But while people in the crowd became angry, officials saw the incident differently. The Baltimore City State's Attorney's Office issued the following statement: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

We have completed a thorough review of this unfortunate incident, and while we strongly disagree with the action the Officer took, it does not rise to the level of illegality. The Officer had other options he could have pursued to de-escalate the situation rather than striking the woman with a closed fist, and we recommend that BPD review this officer\u2019s conduct in the immediate instance, consider his past record of conduct, and take appropriate internal action.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

After the amateur video first went viral, City Council President and mayoral candidate Brandon Scott called Love's action \"unacceptable,\" reported baltimore.cbslocal.com.

Fairfax County Officer Charged With Assault<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A Fairfax County Police Officer has been charged with assault following video of a recent arrest in Virginia June 5. The officer appears to repeatedly use a Taser on a disoriented man. For many, it quickly became another case of a white officer abusing a black man, with eerily similar visions of the recent death of George Floyd<\/a> at the hands of Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin. <\/p>\n\n\n

[in_content post=\"210826\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]<\/p>\n\n\n

Fairfax County Officer Charged With Assault<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when officers responded to a 9-1-1 call. The report described a man \"walking int he street shouting that he needed oxygen,\" reported abcnews.com<\/a>. Footage shows the man walking in the street as officers respond. He appears possibly under the influence, or struggling in some other manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After an officer and an EMT attempt to calm the man, Officer Tyler Timberlake comes from behind, deploying a Taser into the suspect. While it subdues him momentarily, the man eventually begins resisting again. Timberlake then appears to strike the man in the head with the Taser. He continues to deploy the Taser repeatedly into the man's back, as blood runs down the man's shoulder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The video also erodes the public's trust of police officers, not only in Fairfax County but throughout this world,\" Col. Edwin C. Roessler Jr. said Saturday at a press briefing on the incident. \"These acts are unacceptable.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possibly most damning, the video shows Timberlake, for a moment, deploy the same knee pin tactic used by Chauvin on George Floyd. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We are fortunate that this technology was in use in the region of the county within which this incident occurred,\" said Fairfax County Commonwealth's Attorney Steve Descano in a news briefing, reported abcnews.com. \"Without it, I fear we would have had an unfortunately narrow and somewhat distorted view of what happened in one of our own neighborhoods.\"<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Fairfax County Officer Tases Suspect, Charged With Assault","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"fairfax-county-officer-charged","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:14:28","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:14:28","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/06\/09\/fairfax-county-officer-charged\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":126248,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2020-06-05 11:53:09","post_date_gmt":"2020-06-05 15:53:09","post_content":"\n

At first glance, it looked like another case of what the entire world seems to be protesting. A flash of video as two cops wrestle with a lone black woman. Then from out of nowhere, a Baltimore cop sends a devastating right hook into her face, knocking the woman out. <\/p>\n\n\n

Baltimore Cop Knocks Out Woman After Attacking Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The footage went viral, the alleged next in a too-long line of videos showcasing police brutality against African Americans. Only this time it wasn't. And when the police body cam footage finally came to light, we saw an entirely different story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police footage <\/a>shows the woman first drive erratically through a police checkpoint on the night of May 29. Officers had closed the intersection. But the woman inexplicably makes a U-turn, and appears to swerve toward an officer. That's when Sgt. Graig Higley drew his gun and ordered the woman out of the vehicle, reported baltimore.cbslocal.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once out of the vehicle, she immediately gets loud and goes on the defensive. \"Don't touch me,\" she yells. \"I feel attacked.\" Then she turns threatening. \"If you don't violate my rights, I won't violate yours,\" she says to Higley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage then shows Higley attempt to take the woman into custody. The lady resists, striking Higley in the face, hard, two times. Finally, Officer Terry Love clearly sees enough of this. He delivers a haymaker from behind that drops the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immediately, people nearby gather and grow angry. The crowd grows more intense, giving the feeling they might descend on officers at any minute. Higley says several times to the crowd that the woman hit him first. But while people in the crowd became angry, officials saw the incident differently. The Baltimore City State's Attorney's Office issued the following statement: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

We have completed a thorough review of this unfortunate incident, and while we strongly disagree with the action the Officer took, it does not rise to the level of illegality. The Officer had other options he could have pursued to de-escalate the situation rather than striking the woman with a closed fist, and we recommend that BPD review this officer\u2019s conduct in the immediate instance, consider his past record of conduct, and take appropriate internal action.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

After the amateur video first went viral, City Council President and mayoral candidate Brandon Scott called Love's action \"unacceptable,\" reported baltimore.cbslocal.com. Meanwhile, Mayor Bernard C. \"Jack\" Young called it \"deeply disturbing.\" However, the police union said the \"officer was protecting his colleague from further attack. Escalation only occurred after the female attacker continued the assault.\"<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Baltimore Cop Knocks Out Woman Who Attacked Fellow Officer First","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"baltimore-cop-knocks-out-woman","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-10-03 11:03:17","post_modified_gmt":"2024-10-03 15:03:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/06\/05\/baltimore-cop-knocks-out-woman\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":126306,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2020-05-26 10:47:20","post_date_gmt":"2020-05-26 14:47:20","post_content":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/sRO7VqhJkHo\n\nA Daytona Beach Police sergeant and officer engaged in an officer-involved shooting Monday.

Baltimore Cop Knocks Out Woman After Attacking Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The footage went viral, the alleged next in a too-long line of videos showcasing police brutality against African Americans. Only this time it wasn't. And when the police body cam footage finally came to light, we saw an entirely different story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police footage <\/a>shows the woman first drive erratically through a police checkpoint on the night of May 29. Officers had closed the intersection. But the woman inexplicably makes a U-turn, and appears to swerve toward an officer. That's when Sgt. Graig Higley drew his gun and ordered the woman out of the vehicle, reported baltimore.cbslocal.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once out of the vehicle, she immediately gets loud and goes on the defensive. \"Don't touch me,\" she yells. \"I feel attacked.\" Then she turns threatening. \"If you don't violate my rights, I won't violate yours,\" she says to Higley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage then shows Higley attempt to take the woman into custody. The lady resists, striking Higley in the face, hard, two times. Finally, Officer Terry Love clearly sees enough of this. He delivers a haymaker from behind that drops the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immediately, people nearby gather and grow angry. The crowd grows more intense, giving the feeling they might descend on officers at any minute. Higley says several times to the crowd that the woman hit him first. But while people in the crowd became angry, officials saw the incident differently. The Baltimore City State's Attorney's Office issued the following statement: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

We have completed a thorough review of this unfortunate incident, and while we strongly disagree with the action the Officer took, it does not rise to the level of illegality. The Officer had other options he could have pursued to de-escalate the situation rather than striking the woman with a closed fist, and we recommend that BPD review this officer\u2019s conduct in the immediate instance, consider his past record of conduct, and take appropriate internal action.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

After the amateur video first went viral, City Council President and mayoral candidate Brandon Scott called Love's action \"unacceptable,\" reported baltimore.cbslocal.com. Meanwhile, Mayor Bernard C. \"Jack\" Young called it \"deeply disturbing.\" However, the police union said the \"officer was protecting his colleague from further attack.

A Fairfax County Police Officer has been charged with assault following video of a recent arrest in Virginia June 5. The officer appears to repeatedly use a Taser on a disoriented man. For many, it quickly became another case of a white officer abusing a black man, with eerily similar visions of the recent death of George Floyd<\/a> at the hands of Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin. <\/p>\n\n\n

Fairfax County Officer Charged With Assault<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when officers responded to a 9-1-1 call. The report described a man \"walking int he street shouting that he needed oxygen,\" reported abcnews.com<\/a>. Footage shows the man walking in the street as officers respond. He appears possibly under the influence, or struggling in some other manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After an officer and an EMT attempt to calm the man, Officer Tyler Timberlake comes from behind, deploying a Taser into the suspect. While it subdues him momentarily, the man eventually begins resisting again. Timberlake then appears to strike the man in the head with the Taser.

The footage went viral, the alleged next in a too-long line of videos showcasing police brutality against African Americans. Only this time it wasn't. And when the police body cam footage finally came to light, we saw an entirely different story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police footage <\/a>shows the woman first drive erratically through a police checkpoint on the night of May 29. Officers had closed the intersection. But the woman inexplicably makes a U-turn, and appears to swerve toward an officer. That's when Sgt. Graig Higley drew his gun and ordered the woman out of the vehicle, reported baltimore.cbslocal.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once out of the vehicle, she immediately gets loud and goes on the defensive. \"Don't touch me,\" she yells. \"I feel attacked.\" Then she turns threatening. \"If you don't violate my rights, I won't violate yours,\" she says to Higley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage then shows Higley attempt to take the woman into custody. The lady resists, striking Higley in the face, hard, two times. Finally, Officer Terry Love clearly sees enough of this. He delivers a haymaker from behind that drops the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immediately, people nearby gather and grow angry. The crowd grows more intense, giving the feeling they might descend on officers at any minute. Higley says several times to the crowd that the woman hit him first. But while people in the crowd became angry, officials saw the incident differently. The Baltimore City State's Attorney's Office issued the following statement: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

We have completed a thorough review of this unfortunate incident, and while we strongly disagree with the action the Officer took, it does not rise to the level of illegality. The Officer had other options he could have pursued to de-escalate the situation rather than striking the woman with a closed fist, and we recommend that BPD review this officer\u2019s conduct in the immediate instance, consider his past record of conduct, and take appropriate internal action.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

After the amateur video first went viral, City Council President and mayoral candidate Brandon Scott called Love's action \"unacceptable,\" reported baltimore.cbslocal.com. Meanwhile, Mayor Bernard C. \"Jack\" Young called it \"deeply disturbing.\" However, the police union said the \"officer was protecting his colleague from further attack. Escalation only occurred after the female attacker continued the assault.\"<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Baltimore Cop Knocks Out Woman Who Attacked Fellow Officer First","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"baltimore-cop-knocks-out-woman","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-10-03 11:03:17","post_modified_gmt":"2024-10-03 15:03:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/06\/05\/baltimore-cop-knocks-out-woman\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":126306,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2020-05-26 10:47:20","post_date_gmt":"2020-05-26 14:47:20","post_content":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/sRO7VqhJkHo\n\nA Daytona Beach Police sergeant and officer engaged in an officer-involved shooting Monday.

Now the Fulton County District Attorney, Paul Howard, is investigating the shooting. Questions remain as to whether the officers face not only sanctions, but possibly even charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The critical point that we are examining and the critical point I believe in this case is what happened at the exact moment of the shooting,\" Howard told cnn.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aftermath that followed the shooting escalated nearly past the boiling point. Atlanta Police Department Chief Erika Shields immediately stepped down from her position, reported cnn.com. The department fired Rolfe. Meanwhile, it placed the other officer, Bronson, on administrative leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And in the streets, Atlanta burned again. Saturday night, protests escalated with the Wendy's restaurant, the site of the shooting, getting torched.

A Fairfax County Police Officer has been charged with assault following video of a recent arrest in Virginia June 5. The officer appears to repeatedly use a Taser on a disoriented man. For many, it quickly became another case of a white officer abusing a black man, with eerily similar visions of the recent death of George Floyd<\/a> at the hands of Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin. <\/p>\n\n\n

Fairfax County Officer Charged With Assault<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when officers responded to a 9-1-1 call. The report described a man \"walking int he street shouting that he needed oxygen,\" reported abcnews.com<\/a>. Footage shows the man walking in the street as officers respond. He appears possibly under the influence, or struggling in some other manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After an officer and an EMT attempt to calm the man, Officer Tyler Timberlake comes from behind, deploying a Taser into the suspect. While it subdues him momentarily, the man eventually begins resisting again. Timberlake then appears to strike the man in the head with the Taser. He continues to deploy the Taser repeatedly into the man's back, as blood runs down the man's shoulder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The video also erodes the public's trust of police officers, not only in Fairfax County but throughout this world,\" Col. Edwin C. Roessler Jr. said Saturday at a press briefing on the incident. \"These acts are unacceptable.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possibly most damning, the video shows Timberlake, for a moment, deploy the same knee pin tactic used by Chauvin on George Floyd. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We are fortunate that this technology was in use in the region of the county within which this incident occurred,\" said Fairfax County Commonwealth's Attorney Steve Descano in a news briefing, reported abcnews.com. \"Without it, I fear we would have had an unfortunately narrow and somewhat distorted view of what happened in one of our own neighborhoods.\"<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Fairfax County Officer Tases Suspect, Charged With Assault","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"fairfax-county-officer-charged","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:14:28","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:14:28","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/06\/09\/fairfax-county-officer-charged\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":126248,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2020-06-05 11:53:09","post_date_gmt":"2020-06-05 15:53:09","post_content":"\n

Footage shows Brooks immediately resist, and a mad struggle ensues. Officers take Brooks to the ground, who then somehow manages to overpower them both. Brooks wrestles away a Taser and begins to flee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While running away, Brooks turns back and fires the Taser at an officer. Then Officer Rolfe draws his weapon, firing at least three times at a running Brooks. Two bullets find their mark, killing the man. He was shot in the back both times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now the Fulton County District Attorney, Paul Howard, is investigating the shooting. Questions remain as to whether the officers face not only sanctions, but possibly even charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The critical point that we are examining and the critical point I believe in this case is what happened at the exact moment of the shooting,\" Howard told cnn.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aftermath that followed the shooting escalated nearly past the boiling point. Atlanta Police Department Chief Erika Shields immediately stepped down from her position, reported cnn.com. The department fired Rolfe. Meanwhile, it placed the other officer, Bronson, on administrative leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And in the streets, Atlanta burned again. Saturday night, protests escalated with the Wendy's restaurant, the site of the shooting, getting torched.

A Fairfax County Police Officer has been charged with assault following video of a recent arrest in Virginia June 5. The officer appears to repeatedly use a Taser on a disoriented man. For many, it quickly became another case of a white officer abusing a black man, with eerily similar visions of the recent death of George Floyd<\/a> at the hands of Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin. <\/p>\n\n\n

Fairfax County Officer Charged With Assault<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when officers responded to a 9-1-1 call. The report described a man \"walking int he street shouting that he needed oxygen,\" reported abcnews.com<\/a>. Footage shows the man walking in the street as officers respond. He appears possibly under the influence, or struggling in some other manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After an officer and an EMT attempt to calm the man, Officer Tyler Timberlake comes from behind, deploying a Taser into the suspect. While it subdues him momentarily, the man eventually begins resisting again. Timberlake then appears to strike the man in the head with the Taser. He continues to deploy the Taser repeatedly into the man's back, as blood runs down the man's shoulder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The video also erodes the public's trust of police officers, not only in Fairfax County but throughout this world,\" Col. Edwin C. Roessler Jr. said Saturday at a press briefing on the incident. \"These acts are unacceptable.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possibly most damning, the video shows Timberlake, for a moment, deploy the same knee pin tactic used by Chauvin on George Floyd. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We are fortunate that this technology was in use in the region of the county within which this incident occurred,\" said Fairfax County Commonwealth's Attorney Steve Descano in a news briefing, reported abcnews.com. \"Without it, I fear we would have had an unfortunately narrow and somewhat distorted view of what happened in one of our own neighborhoods.\"<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Fairfax County Officer Tases Suspect, Charged With Assault","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"fairfax-county-officer-charged","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:14:28","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:14:28","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/06\/09\/fairfax-county-officer-charged\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":126248,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2020-06-05 11:53:09","post_date_gmt":"2020-06-05 15:53:09","post_content":"\n

Baltimore Cop Knocks Out Woman After Attacking Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The footage went viral, the alleged next in a too-long line of videos showcasing police brutality against African Americans. Only this time it wasn't. And when the police body cam footage finally came to light, we saw an entirely different story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police footage <\/a>shows the woman first drive erratically through a police checkpoint on the night of May 29. Officers had closed the intersection. But the woman inexplicably makes a U-turn, and appears to swerve toward an officer. That's when Sgt. Graig Higley drew his gun and ordered the woman out of the vehicle, reported baltimore.cbslocal.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once out of the vehicle, she immediately gets loud and goes on the defensive. \"Don't touch me,\" she yells. \"I feel attacked.\" Then she turns threatening. \"If you don't violate my rights, I won't violate yours,\" she says to Higley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage then shows Higley attempt to take the woman into custody. The lady resists, striking Higley in the face, hard, two times. Finally, Officer Terry Love clearly sees enough of this. He delivers a haymaker from behind that drops the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immediately, people nearby gather and grow angry. The crowd grows more intense, giving the feeling they might descend on officers at any minute. Higley says several times to the crowd that the woman hit him first. But while people in the crowd became angry, officials saw the incident differently. The Baltimore City State's Attorney's Office issued the following statement: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest incident began last Friday when officers responded to a call of a man asleep in his car. There, Atlanta Police found the 27-year-old Brooks apparently passed out in his vehicle, parked and blocking a Wendy's drive-through. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officer body cam<\/a> footage shows the encounter between Officers Garrett Rolfe and Devin Bronson, as they speak with Brooks for nearly 30 minutes. The conversation remains civil throughout. Then officers decide to place Brooks under arrest for failing a sobriety test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Brooks immediately resist, and a mad struggle ensues. Officers take Brooks to the ground, who then somehow manages to overpower them both. Brooks wrestles away a Taser and begins to flee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While running away, Brooks turns back and fires the Taser at an officer. Then Officer Rolfe draws his weapon, firing at least three times at a running Brooks. Two bullets find their mark, killing the man. He was shot in the back both times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now the Fulton County District Attorney, Paul Howard, is investigating the shooting. Questions remain as to whether the officers face not only sanctions, but possibly even charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The critical point that we are examining and the critical point I believe in this case is what happened at the exact moment of the shooting,\" Howard told cnn.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aftermath that followed the shooting escalated nearly past the boiling point. Atlanta Police Department Chief Erika Shields immediately stepped down from her position, reported cnn.com. The department fired Rolfe. Meanwhile, it placed the other officer, Bronson, on administrative leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And in the streets, Atlanta burned again. Saturday night, protests escalated with the Wendy's restaurant, the site of the shooting, getting torched. Hopefully, the city will get some peace soon. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Atlanta PD Releases Entire Video of Rayshard Brooks Shooting","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"atlanta-rayshard-brooks-shooting-video","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-06 12:33:14","post_modified_gmt":"2024-03-06 17:33:14","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/06\/16\/atlanta-rayshard-brooks-shooting-video\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":126236,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2020-06-09 11:54:15","post_date_gmt":"2020-06-09 15:54:15","post_content":"\n

A Fairfax County Police Officer has been charged with assault following video of a recent arrest in Virginia June 5. The officer appears to repeatedly use a Taser on a disoriented man. For many, it quickly became another case of a white officer abusing a black man, with eerily similar visions of the recent death of George Floyd<\/a> at the hands of Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin. <\/p>\n\n\n

Fairfax County Officer Charged With Assault<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when officers responded to a 9-1-1 call. The report described a man \"walking int he street shouting that he needed oxygen,\" reported abcnews.com<\/a>. Footage shows the man walking in the street as officers respond. He appears possibly under the influence, or struggling in some other manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After an officer and an EMT attempt to calm the man, Officer Tyler Timberlake comes from behind, deploying a Taser into the suspect. While it subdues him momentarily, the man eventually begins resisting again. Timberlake then appears to strike the man in the head with the Taser. He continues to deploy the Taser repeatedly into the man's back, as blood runs down the man's shoulder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The video also erodes the public's trust of police officers, not only in Fairfax County but throughout this world,\" Col. Edwin C. Roessler Jr. said Saturday at a press briefing on the incident. \"These acts are unacceptable.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possibly most damning, the video shows Timberlake, for a moment, deploy the same knee pin tactic used by Chauvin on George Floyd. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We are fortunate that this technology was in use in the region of the county within which this incident occurred,\" said Fairfax County Commonwealth's Attorney Steve Descano in a news briefing, reported abcnews.com. \"Without it, I fear we would have had an unfortunately narrow and somewhat distorted view of what happened in one of our own neighborhoods.\"<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Fairfax County Officer Tases Suspect, Charged With Assault","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"fairfax-county-officer-charged","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:14:28","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:14:28","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/06\/09\/fairfax-county-officer-charged\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":126248,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2020-06-05 11:53:09","post_date_gmt":"2020-06-05 15:53:09","post_content":"\n

At first glance, it looked like another case of what the entire world seems to be protesting. A flash of video as two cops wrestle with a lone black woman. Then from out of nowhere, a Baltimore cop sends a devastating right hook into her face, knocking the woman out. <\/p>\n\n\n

Baltimore Cop Knocks Out Woman After Attacking Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The footage went viral, the alleged next in a too-long line of videos showcasing police brutality against African Americans. Only this time it wasn't. And when the police body cam footage finally came to light, we saw an entirely different story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police footage <\/a>shows the woman first drive erratically through a police checkpoint on the night of May 29. Officers had closed the intersection. But the woman inexplicably makes a U-turn, and appears to swerve toward an officer. That's when Sgt. Graig Higley drew his gun and ordered the woman out of the vehicle, reported baltimore.cbslocal.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once out of the vehicle, she immediately gets loud and goes on the defensive. \"Don't touch me,\" she yells. \"I feel attacked.\" Then she turns threatening. \"If you don't violate my rights, I won't violate yours,\" she says to Higley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage then shows Higley attempt to take the woman into custody. The lady resists, striking Higley in the face, hard, two times. Finally, Officer Terry Love clearly sees enough of this. He delivers a haymaker from behind that drops the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immediately, people nearby gather and grow angry. The crowd grows more intense, giving the feeling they might descend on officers at any minute. Higley says several times to the crowd that the woman hit him first. But while people in the crowd became angry, officials saw the incident differently. The Baltimore City State's Attorney's Office issued the following statement: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\n

We have completed a thorough review of this unfortunate incident, and while we strongly disagree with the action the Officer took, it does not rise to the level of illegality. The Officer had other options he could have pursued to de-escalate the situation rather than striking the woman with a closed fist, and we recommend that BPD review this officer\u2019s conduct in the immediate instance, consider his past record of conduct, and take appropriate internal action.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

After the amateur video first went viral, City Council President and mayoral candidate Brandon Scott called Love's action \"unacceptable,\" reported baltimore.cbslocal.com. Meanwhile, Mayor Bernard C. \"Jack\" Young called it \"deeply disturbing.\" However, the police union said the \"officer was protecting his colleague from further attack.

The Atlanta Police Department and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation released the full video of the shooting death of Rayshard Brooks June 12. The shooting set off violent protests and rioting across Atlanta, a city already protesting the murder of George Floyd. In the video above, the struggle ensues at the 41:20 mark. <\/p>\n\n\n

The Rayshard Brooks Shooting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The latest incident began last Friday when officers responded to a call of a man asleep in his car. There, Atlanta Police found the 27-year-old Brooks apparently passed out in his vehicle, parked and blocking a Wendy's drive-through. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officer body cam<\/a> footage shows the encounter between Officers Garrett Rolfe and Devin Bronson, as they speak with Brooks for nearly 30 minutes. The conversation remains civil throughout. Then officers decide to place Brooks under arrest for failing a sobriety test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Brooks immediately resist, and a mad struggle ensues. Officers take Brooks to the ground, who then somehow manages to overpower them both. Brooks wrestles away a Taser and begins to flee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While running away, Brooks turns back and fires the Taser at an officer. Then Officer Rolfe draws his weapon, firing at least three times at a running Brooks. Two bullets find their mark, killing the man. He was shot in the back both times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now the Fulton County District Attorney, Paul Howard, is investigating the shooting. Questions remain as to whether the officers face not only sanctions, but possibly even charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The critical point that we are examining and the critical point I believe in this case is what happened at the exact moment of the shooting,\" Howard told cnn.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aftermath that followed the shooting escalated nearly past the boiling point. Atlanta Police Department Chief Erika Shields immediately stepped down from her position, reported cnn.com. The department fired Rolfe. Meanwhile, it placed the other officer, Bronson, on administrative leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And in the streets, Atlanta burned again. Saturday night, protests escalated with the Wendy's restaurant, the site of the shooting, getting torched. Hopefully, the city will get some peace soon. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Atlanta PD Releases Entire Video of Rayshard Brooks Shooting","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"atlanta-rayshard-brooks-shooting-video","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-06 12:33:14","post_modified_gmt":"2024-03-06 17:33:14","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/06\/16\/atlanta-rayshard-brooks-shooting-video\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":126236,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2020-06-09 11:54:15","post_date_gmt":"2020-06-09 15:54:15","post_content":"\n

A Fairfax County Police Officer has been charged with assault following video of a recent arrest in Virginia June 5. The officer appears to repeatedly use a Taser on a disoriented man. For many, it quickly became another case of a white officer abusing a black man, with eerily similar visions of the recent death of George Floyd<\/a> at the hands of Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin. <\/p>\n\n\n

[in_content post=\"210826\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]<\/p>\n\n\n

Fairfax County Officer Charged With Assault<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when officers responded to a 9-1-1 call. The report described a man \"walking int he street shouting that he needed oxygen,\" reported abcnews.com<\/a>. Footage shows the man walking in the street as officers respond. He appears possibly under the influence, or struggling in some other manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After an officer and an EMT attempt to calm the man, Officer Tyler Timberlake comes from behind, deploying a Taser into the suspect. While it subdues him momentarily, the man eventually begins resisting again. Timberlake then appears to strike the man in the head with the Taser. He continues to deploy the Taser repeatedly into the man's back, as blood runs down the man's shoulder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The video also erodes the public's trust of police officers, not only in Fairfax County but throughout this world,\" Col. Edwin C. Roessler Jr. said Saturday at a press briefing on the incident. \"These acts are unacceptable.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possibly most damning, the video shows Timberlake, for a moment, deploy the same knee pin tactic used by Chauvin on George Floyd. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We are fortunate that this technology was in use in the region of the county within which this incident occurred,\" said Fairfax County Commonwealth's Attorney Steve Descano in a news briefing, reported abcnews.com. \"Without it, I fear we would have had an unfortunately narrow and somewhat distorted view of what happened in one of our own neighborhoods.\"<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Fairfax County Officer Tases Suspect, Charged With Assault","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"fairfax-county-officer-charged","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:14:28","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:14:28","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/06\/09\/fairfax-county-officer-charged\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":126248,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2020-06-05 11:53:09","post_date_gmt":"2020-06-05 15:53:09","post_content":"\n

Baltimore Cop Knocks Out Woman After Attacking Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The footage went viral, the alleged next in a too-long line of videos showcasing police brutality against African Americans. Only this time it wasn't. And when the police body cam footage finally came to light, we saw an entirely different story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police footage <\/a>shows the woman first drive erratically through a police checkpoint on the night of May 29. Officers had closed the intersection. But the woman inexplicably makes a U-turn, and appears to swerve toward an officer. That's when Sgt. Graig Higley drew his gun and ordered the woman out of the vehicle, reported baltimore.cbslocal.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once out of the vehicle, she immediately gets loud and goes on the defensive. \"Don't touch me,\" she yells. \"I feel attacked.\" Then she turns threatening. \"If you don't violate my rights, I won't violate yours,\" she says to Higley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage then shows Higley attempt to take the woman into custody. The lady resists, striking Higley in the face, hard, two times. Finally, Officer Terry Love clearly sees enough of this. He delivers a haymaker from behind that drops the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immediately, people nearby gather and grow angry. The crowd grows more intense, giving the feeling they might descend on officers at any minute. Higley says several times to the crowd that the woman hit him first. But while people in the crowd became angry, officials saw the incident differently. The Baltimore City State's Attorney's Office issued the following statement: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

We have completed a thorough review of this unfortunate incident, and while we strongly disagree with the action the Officer took, it does not rise to the level of illegality.

The footage went viral, the alleged next in a too-long line of videos showcasing police brutality against African Americans. Only this time it wasn't. And when the police body cam footage finally came to light, we saw an entirely different story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police footage <\/a>shows the woman first drive erratically through a police checkpoint on the night of May 29. Officers had closed the intersection. But the woman inexplicably makes a U-turn, and appears to swerve toward an officer. That's when Sgt. Graig Higley drew his gun and ordered the woman out of the vehicle, reported baltimore.cbslocal.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once out of the vehicle, she immediately gets loud and goes on the defensive. \"Don't touch me,\" she yells. \"I feel attacked.\" Then she turns threatening. \"If you don't violate my rights, I won't violate yours,\" she says to Higley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage then shows Higley attempt to take the woman into custody. The lady resists, striking Higley in the face, hard, two times. Finally, Officer Terry Love clearly sees enough of this. He delivers a haymaker from behind that drops the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immediately, people nearby gather and grow angry. The crowd grows more intense, giving the feeling they might descend on officers at any minute. Higley says several times to the crowd that the woman hit him first. But while people in the crowd became angry, officials saw the incident differently. The Baltimore City State's Attorney's Office issued the following statement: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

We have completed a thorough review of this unfortunate incident, and while we strongly disagree with the action the Officer took, it does not rise to the level of illegality. The Officer had other options he could have pursued to de-escalate the situation rather than striking the woman with a closed fist, and we recommend that BPD review this officer\u2019s conduct in the immediate instance, consider his past record of conduct, and take appropriate internal action.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

After the amateur video first went viral, City Council President and mayoral candidate Brandon Scott called Love's action \"unacceptable,\" reported baltimore.cbslocal.com. Meanwhile, Mayor Bernard C. \"Jack\" Young called it \"deeply disturbing.\" However, the police union said the \"officer was protecting his colleague from further attack. Escalation only occurred after the female attacker continued the assault.\"<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Baltimore Cop Knocks Out Woman Who Attacked Fellow Officer First","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"baltimore-cop-knocks-out-woman","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-10-03 11:03:17","post_modified_gmt":"2024-10-03 15:03:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/06\/05\/baltimore-cop-knocks-out-woman\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":126306,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2020-05-26 10:47:20","post_date_gmt":"2020-05-26 14:47:20","post_content":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/sRO7VqhJkHo\n\nA Daytona Beach Police sergeant and officer engaged in an officer-involved shooting Monday.

The first responding officer uses his vehicle as cover, moving and relocating before shooting. The sergeant, further away, posts up from his cruiser.

\n\n\"I\u2019m very proud of my officers, the way they acted today. They were very professional.

The Atlanta Police Department and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation released the full video of the shooting death of Rayshard Brooks June 12. The shooting set off violent protests and rioting across Atlanta, a city already protesting the murder of George Floyd. In the video above, the struggle ensues at the 41:20 mark. <\/p>\n\n\n

[in_content post=\"210940\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]<\/p>\n\n\n

The Rayshard Brooks Shooting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The latest incident began last Friday when officers responded to a call of a man asleep in his car. There, Atlanta Police found the 27-year-old Brooks apparently passed out in his vehicle, parked and blocking a Wendy's drive-through. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officer body cam<\/a> footage shows the encounter between Officers Garrett Rolfe and Devin Bronson, as they speak with Brooks for nearly 30 minutes. The conversation remains civil throughout. Then officers decide to place Brooks under arrest for failing a sobriety test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Brooks immediately resist, and a mad struggle ensues. Officers take Brooks to the ground, who then somehow manages to overpower them both. Brooks wrestles away a Taser and begins to flee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While running away, Brooks turns back and fires the Taser at an officer. Then Officer Rolfe draws his weapon, firing at least three times at a running Brooks. Two bullets find their mark, killing the man. He was shot in the back both times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now the Fulton County District Attorney, Paul Howard, is investigating the shooting. Questions remain as to whether the officers face not only sanctions, but possibly even charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The critical point that we are examining and the critical point I believe in this case is what happened at the exact moment of the shooting,\" Howard told cnn.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aftermath that followed the shooting escalated nearly past the boiling point. Atlanta Police Department Chief Erika Shields immediately stepped down from her position, reported cnn.com. The department fired Rolfe. Meanwhile, it placed the other officer, Bronson, on administrative leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And in the streets, Atlanta burned again. Saturday night, protests escalated with the Wendy's restaurant, the site of the shooting, getting torched. Hopefully, the city will get some peace soon. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Atlanta PD Releases Entire Video of Rayshard Brooks Shooting","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"atlanta-rayshard-brooks-shooting-video","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-06 12:33:14","post_modified_gmt":"2024-03-06 17:33:14","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/06\/16\/atlanta-rayshard-brooks-shooting-video\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":126236,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2020-06-09 11:54:15","post_date_gmt":"2020-06-09 15:54:15","post_content":"\n

A Fairfax County Police Officer has been charged with assault following video of a recent arrest in Virginia June 5. The officer appears to repeatedly use a Taser on a disoriented man. For many, it quickly became another case of a white officer abusing a black man, with eerily similar visions of the recent death of George Floyd<\/a> at the hands of Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin. <\/p>\n\n\n

[in_content post=\"210826\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]<\/p>\n\n\n

Fairfax County Officer Charged With Assault<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when officers responded to a 9-1-1 call. The report described a man \"walking int he street shouting that he needed oxygen,\" reported abcnews.com<\/a>. Footage shows the man walking in the street as officers respond. He appears possibly under the influence, or struggling in some other manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After an officer and an EMT attempt to calm the man, Officer Tyler Timberlake comes from behind, deploying a Taser into the suspect. While it subdues him momentarily, the man eventually begins resisting again. Timberlake then appears to strike the man in the head with the Taser. He continues to deploy the Taser repeatedly into the man's back, as blood runs down the man's shoulder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The video also erodes the public's trust of police officers, not only in Fairfax County but throughout this world,\" Col. Edwin C. Roessler Jr. said Saturday at a press briefing on the incident. \"These acts are unacceptable.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possibly most damning, the video shows Timberlake, for a moment, deploy the same knee pin tactic used by Chauvin on George Floyd. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We are fortunate that this technology was in use in the region of the county within which this incident occurred,\" said Fairfax County Commonwealth's Attorney Steve Descano in a news briefing, reported abcnews.com. \"Without it, I fear we would have had an unfortunately narrow and somewhat distorted view of what happened in one of our own neighborhoods.\"<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Fairfax County Officer Tases Suspect, Charged With Assault","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"fairfax-county-officer-charged","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:14:28","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:14:28","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/06\/09\/fairfax-county-officer-charged\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":126248,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2020-06-05 11:53:09","post_date_gmt":"2020-06-05 15:53:09","post_content":"\n

At first glance, it looked like another case of what the entire world seems to be protesting. A flash of video as two cops wrestle with a lone black woman. Then from out of nowhere, a Baltimore cop sends a devastating right hook into her face, knocking the woman out. <\/p>\n\n\n

Hopefully, the city will get some peace soon. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Atlanta PD Releases Entire Video of Rayshard Brooks Shooting","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"atlanta-rayshard-brooks-shooting-video","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-06 12:33:14","post_modified_gmt":"2024-03-06 17:33:14","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/06\/16\/atlanta-rayshard-brooks-shooting-video\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":126236,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2020-06-09 11:54:15","post_date_gmt":"2020-06-09 15:54:15","post_content":"\n

A Fairfax County Police Officer has been charged with assault following video of a recent arrest in Virginia June 5. The officer appears to repeatedly use a Taser on a disoriented man. For many, it quickly became another case of a white officer abusing a black man, with eerily similar visions of the recent death of George Floyd<\/a> at the hands of Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin. <\/p>\n\n\n

Fairfax County Officer Charged With Assault<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when officers responded to a 9-1-1 call. The report described a man \"walking int he street shouting that he needed oxygen,\" reported abcnews.com<\/a>. Footage shows the man walking in the street as officers respond. He appears possibly under the influence, or struggling in some other manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After an officer and an EMT attempt to calm the man, Officer Tyler Timberlake comes from behind, deploying a Taser into the suspect. While it subdues him momentarily, the man eventually begins resisting again. Timberlake then appears to strike the man in the head with the Taser. He continues to deploy the Taser repeatedly into the man's back, as blood runs down the man's shoulder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The video also erodes the public's trust of police officers, not only in Fairfax County but throughout this world,\" Col. Edwin C. Roessler Jr. said Saturday at a press briefing on the incident. \"These acts are unacceptable.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possibly most damning, the video shows Timberlake, for a moment, deploy the same knee pin tactic used by Chauvin on George Floyd. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We are fortunate that this technology was in use in the region of the county within which this incident occurred,\" said Fairfax County Commonwealth's Attorney Steve Descano in a news briefing, reported abcnews.com. \"Without it, I fear we would have had an unfortunately narrow and somewhat distorted view of what happened in one of our own neighborhoods.\"<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Fairfax County Officer Tases Suspect, Charged With Assault","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"fairfax-county-officer-charged","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:14:28","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:14:28","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/06\/09\/fairfax-county-officer-charged\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":126248,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2020-06-05 11:53:09","post_date_gmt":"2020-06-05 15:53:09","post_content":"\n

At first glance, it looked like another case of what the entire world seems to be protesting. A flash of video as two cops wrestle with a lone black woman. Then from out of nowhere, a Baltimore cop sends a devastating right hook into her face, knocking the woman out. <\/p>\n\n\n

[in_content post=\"210826\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]<\/p>\n\n\n

Baltimore Cop Knocks Out Woman After Attacking Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The footage went viral, the alleged next in a too-long line of videos showcasing police brutality against African Americans. Only this time it wasn't. And when the police body cam footage finally came to light, we saw an entirely different story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police footage <\/a>shows the woman first drive erratically through a police checkpoint on the night of May 29. Officers had closed the intersection. But the woman inexplicably makes a U-turn, and appears to swerve toward an officer. That's when Sgt. Graig Higley drew his gun and ordered the woman out of the vehicle, reported baltimore.cbslocal.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once out of the vehicle, she immediately gets loud and goes on the defensive. \"Don't touch me,\" she yells. \"I feel attacked.\" Then she turns threatening. \"If you don't violate my rights, I won't violate yours,\" she says to Higley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage then shows Higley attempt to take the woman into custody. The lady resists, striking Higley in the face, hard, two times. Finally, Officer Terry Love clearly sees enough of this. He delivers a haymaker from behind that drops the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immediately, people nearby gather and grow angry. The crowd grows more intense, giving the feeling they might descend on officers at any minute. Higley says several times to the crowd that the woman hit him first. But while people in the crowd became angry, officials saw the incident differently. The Baltimore City State's Attorney's Office issued the following statement: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

We have completed a thorough review of this unfortunate incident, and while we strongly disagree with the action the Officer took, it does not rise to the level of illegality. The Officer had other options he could have pursued to de-escalate the situation rather than striking the woman with a closed fist, and we recommend that BPD review this officer\u2019s conduct in the immediate instance, consider his past record of conduct, and take appropriate internal action.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

After the amateur video first went viral, City Council President and mayoral candidate Brandon Scott called Love's action \"unacceptable,\" reported baltimore.cbslocal.com. Meanwhile, Mayor Bernard C. \"Jack\" Young called it \"deeply disturbing.\" However, the police union said the \"officer was protecting his colleague from further attack. Escalation only occurred after the female attacker continued the assault.\"<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Baltimore Cop Knocks Out Woman Who Attacked Fellow Officer First","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"baltimore-cop-knocks-out-woman","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-10-03 11:03:17","post_modified_gmt":"2024-10-03 15:03:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/06\/05\/baltimore-cop-knocks-out-woman\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":126306,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2020-05-26 10:47:20","post_date_gmt":"2020-05-26 14:47:20","post_content":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/sRO7VqhJkHo\n\nA Daytona Beach Police sergeant and officer engaged in an officer-involved shooting Monday.

The Atlanta Police Department and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation released the full video of the shooting death of Rayshard Brooks June 12. The shooting set off violent protests and rioting across Atlanta, a city already protesting the murder of George Floyd. In the video above, the struggle ensues at the 41:20 mark. <\/p>\n\n\n

[in_content post=\"210940\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]<\/p>\n\n\n

The Rayshard Brooks Shooting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The latest incident began last Friday when officers responded to a call of a man asleep in his car. There, Atlanta Police found the 27-year-old Brooks apparently passed out in his vehicle, parked and blocking a Wendy's drive-through. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officer body cam<\/a> footage shows the encounter between Officers Garrett Rolfe and Devin Bronson, as they speak with Brooks for nearly 30 minutes. The conversation remains civil throughout. Then officers decide to place Brooks under arrest for failing a sobriety test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Brooks immediately resist, and a mad struggle ensues. Officers take Brooks to the ground, who then somehow manages to overpower them both. Brooks wrestles away a Taser and begins to flee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While running away, Brooks turns back and fires the Taser at an officer. Then Officer Rolfe draws his weapon, firing at least three times at a running Brooks. Two bullets find their mark, killing the man. He was shot in the back both times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now the Fulton County District Attorney, Paul Howard, is investigating the shooting. Questions remain as to whether the officers face not only sanctions, but possibly even charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The critical point that we are examining and the critical point I believe in this case is what happened at the exact moment of the shooting,\" Howard told cnn.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aftermath that followed the shooting escalated nearly past the boiling point. Atlanta Police Department Chief Erika Shields immediately stepped down from her position, reported cnn.com. The department fired Rolfe. Meanwhile, it placed the other officer, Bronson, on administrative leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And in the streets, Atlanta burned again. Saturday night, protests escalated with the Wendy's restaurant, the site of the shooting, getting torched. Hopefully, the city will get some peace soon. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Atlanta PD Releases Entire Video of Rayshard Brooks Shooting","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"atlanta-rayshard-brooks-shooting-video","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-06 12:33:14","post_modified_gmt":"2024-03-06 17:33:14","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/06\/16\/atlanta-rayshard-brooks-shooting-video\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":126236,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2020-06-09 11:54:15","post_date_gmt":"2020-06-09 15:54:15","post_content":"\n

However, body cam footage suggests otherwise. The officer's statement also seemingly corroborates the footage from the incident.. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It was a black object, and a very specific draw pattern that I've seen in 20 years of law enforcement,\" Antonson told investigators, reported denverpost.com. \"It's - it was a very specific, and it was a black object in his hand, and the only thought in my head was 'He's going to kill me.'\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Atlanta Police Department and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation released the full video of the shooting death of Rayshard Brooks June 12. The shooting set off violent protests and rioting across Atlanta, a city already protesting the murder of George Floyd. In the video above, the struggle ensues at the 41:20 mark. <\/p>\n\n\n

[in_content post=\"210940\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]<\/p>\n\n\n

The Rayshard Brooks Shooting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The latest incident began last Friday when officers responded to a call of a man asleep in his car. There, Atlanta Police found the 27-year-old Brooks apparently passed out in his vehicle, parked and blocking a Wendy's drive-through. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officer body cam<\/a> footage shows the encounter between Officers Garrett Rolfe and Devin Bronson, as they speak with Brooks for nearly 30 minutes. The conversation remains civil throughout. Then officers decide to place Brooks under arrest for failing a sobriety test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Brooks immediately resist, and a mad struggle ensues. Officers take Brooks to the ground, who then somehow manages to overpower them both. Brooks wrestles away a Taser and begins to flee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While running away, Brooks turns back and fires the Taser at an officer. Then Officer Rolfe draws his weapon, firing at least three times at a running Brooks. Two bullets find their mark, killing the man. He was shot in the back both times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now the Fulton County District Attorney, Paul Howard, is investigating the shooting. Questions remain as to whether the officers face not only sanctions, but possibly even charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The critical point that we are examining and the critical point I believe in this case is what happened at the exact moment of the shooting,\" Howard told cnn.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aftermath that followed the shooting escalated nearly past the boiling point. Atlanta Police Department Chief Erika Shields immediately stepped down from her position, reported cnn.com. The department fired Rolfe. Meanwhile, it placed the other officer, Bronson, on administrative leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And in the streets, Atlanta burned again. Saturday night, protests escalated with the Wendy's restaurant, the site of the shooting, getting torched. Hopefully, the city will get some peace soon. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Atlanta PD Releases Entire Video of Rayshard Brooks Shooting","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"atlanta-rayshard-brooks-shooting-video","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-06 12:33:14","post_modified_gmt":"2024-03-06 17:33:14","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/06\/16\/atlanta-rayshard-brooks-shooting-video\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":126236,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2020-06-09 11:54:15","post_date_gmt":"2020-06-09 15:54:15","post_content":"\n

A Fairfax County Police Officer has been charged with assault following video of a recent arrest in Virginia June 5. The officer appears to repeatedly use a Taser on a disoriented man. For many, it quickly became another case of a white officer abusing a black man, with eerily similar visions of the recent death of George Floyd<\/a> at the hands of Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin. <\/p>\n\n\n

[in_content post=\"210826\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]<\/p>\n\n\n

Fairfax County Officer Charged With Assault<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when officers responded to a 9-1-1 call. The report described a man \"walking int he street shouting that he needed oxygen,\" reported abcnews.com<\/a>. Footage shows the man walking in the street as officers respond. He appears possibly under the influence, or struggling in some other manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After an officer and an EMT attempt to calm the man, Officer Tyler Timberlake comes from behind, deploying a Taser into the suspect. While it subdues him momentarily, the man eventually begins resisting again. Timberlake then appears to strike the man in the head with the Taser. He continues to deploy the Taser repeatedly into the man's back, as blood runs down the man's shoulder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The video also erodes the public's trust of police officers, not only in Fairfax County but throughout this world,\" Col. Edwin C. Roessler Jr. said Saturday at a press briefing on the incident. \"These acts are unacceptable.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possibly most damning, the video shows Timberlake, for a moment, deploy the same knee pin tactic used by Chauvin on George Floyd. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We are fortunate that this technology was in use in the region of the county within which this incident occurred,\" said Fairfax County Commonwealth's Attorney Steve Descano in a news briefing, reported abcnews.com. \"Without it, I fear we would have had an unfortunately narrow and somewhat distorted view of what happened in one of our own neighborhoods.\"<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Fairfax County Officer Tases Suspect, Charged With Assault","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"fairfax-county-officer-charged","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:14:28","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:14:28","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/06\/09\/fairfax-county-officer-charged\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":126248,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2020-06-05 11:53:09","post_date_gmt":"2020-06-05 15:53:09","post_content":"\n

At first glance, it looked like another case of what the entire world seems to be protesting. A flash of video as two cops wrestle with a lone black woman. Then from out of nowhere, a Baltimore cop sends a devastating right hook into her face, knocking the woman out. <\/p>\n\n\n

[in_content post=\"210826\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]<\/p>\n\n\n

Baltimore Cop Knocks Out Woman After Attacking Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The footage went viral, the alleged next in a too-long line of videos showcasing police brutality against African Americans. Only this time it wasn't. And when the police body cam footage finally came to light, we saw an entirely different story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police footage <\/a>shows the woman first drive erratically through a police checkpoint on the night of May 29. Officers had closed the intersection. But the woman inexplicably makes a U-turn, and appears to swerve toward an officer. That's when Sgt. Graig Higley drew his gun and ordered the woman out of the vehicle, reported baltimore.cbslocal.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once out of the vehicle, she immediately gets loud and goes on the defensive. \"Don't touch me,\" she yells. \"I feel attacked.\" Then she turns threatening. \"If you don't violate my rights, I won't violate yours,\" she says to Higley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage then shows Higley attempt to take the woman into custody. The lady resists, striking Higley in the face, hard, two times. Finally, Officer Terry Love clearly sees enough of this. He delivers a haymaker from behind that drops the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immediately, people nearby gather and grow angry. The crowd grows more intense, giving the feeling they might descend on officers at any minute. Higley says several times to the crowd that the woman hit him first. But while people in the crowd became angry, officials saw the incident differently. The Baltimore City State's Attorney's Office issued the following statement: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

We have completed a thorough review of this unfortunate incident, and while we strongly disagree with the action the Officer took, it does not rise to the level of illegality. The Officer had other options he could have pursued to de-escalate the situation rather than striking the woman with a closed fist, and we recommend that BPD review this officer\u2019s conduct in the immediate instance, consider his past record of conduct, and take appropriate internal action.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

After the amateur video first went viral, City Council President and mayoral candidate Brandon Scott called Love's action \"unacceptable,\" reported baltimore.cbslocal.com. Meanwhile, Mayor Bernard C. \"Jack\" Young called it \"deeply disturbing.\" However, the police union said the \"officer was protecting his colleague from further attack. Escalation only occurred after the female attacker continued the assault.\"<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Baltimore Cop Knocks Out Woman Who Attacked Fellow Officer First","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"baltimore-cop-knocks-out-woman","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-10-03 11:03:17","post_modified_gmt":"2024-10-03 15:03:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/06\/05\/baltimore-cop-knocks-out-woman\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":126306,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2020-05-26 10:47:20","post_date_gmt":"2020-05-26 14:47:20","post_content":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/sRO7VqhJkHo\n\nA Daytona Beach Police sergeant and officer engaged in an officer-involved shooting Monday.

The first responding officer uses his vehicle as cover, moving and relocating before shooting. The sergeant, further away, posts up from his cruiser.

Despite the release of body cam footage, several hundred people marched in protest Thursday following the announcement, reported denverpost.com. DeBose's family insisted he meant no harm to officers when he fled. \u201cThis is wrong,\u201d the father said in video recorded by multiple media outlets. \u201cMy son is dead.

\n

We have completed a thorough review of this unfortunate incident, and while we strongly disagree with the action the Officer took, it does not rise to the level of illegality. The Officer had other options he could have pursued to de-escalate the situation rather than striking the woman with a closed fist, and we recommend that BPD review this officer\u2019s conduct in the immediate instance, consider his past record of conduct, and take appropriate internal action.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

After the amateur video first went viral, City Council President and mayoral candidate Brandon Scott called Love's action \"unacceptable,\" reported baltimore.cbslocal.com. Meanwhile, Mayor Bernard C. \"Jack\" Young called it \"deeply disturbing.\" However, the police union said the \"officer was protecting his colleague from further attack.

\u201cIn this case, when the gun was pointed at him, under the law, Cpl. Antonson had the right to use deadly physical force,\u201d McCann told denverpost.com<\/a>. \u201cHad he not, he very well could have been shot.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the release of body cam footage, several hundred people marched in protest Thursday following the announcement, reported denverpost.com.

He was shot for running for his life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, body cam footage suggests otherwise. The officer's statement also seemingly corroborates the footage from the incident.. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It was a black object, and a very specific draw pattern that I've seen in 20 years of law enforcement,\" Antonson told investigators, reported denverpost.com. \"It's - it was a very specific, and it was a black object in his hand, and the only thought in my head was 'He's going to kill me.'\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tensions continue to run high across the country, with people of all walks of life calling for change in policing. McCann, though electing to not pursue charges in this instance, attempted to address those concerns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Atlanta Police Department and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation released the full video of the shooting death of Rayshard Brooks June 12. The shooting set off violent protests and rioting across Atlanta, a city already protesting the murder of George Floyd. In the video above, the struggle ensues at the 41:20 mark. <\/p>\n\n\n

[in_content post=\"210940\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]<\/p>\n\n\n

The Rayshard Brooks Shooting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The latest incident began last Friday when officers responded to a call of a man asleep in his car. There, Atlanta Police found the 27-year-old Brooks apparently passed out in his vehicle, parked and blocking a Wendy's drive-through. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officer body cam<\/a> footage shows the encounter between Officers Garrett Rolfe and Devin Bronson, as they speak with Brooks for nearly 30 minutes. The conversation remains civil throughout. Then officers decide to place Brooks under arrest for failing a sobriety test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Brooks immediately resist, and a mad struggle ensues. Officers take Brooks to the ground, who then somehow manages to overpower them both. Brooks wrestles away a Taser and begins to flee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While running away, Brooks turns back and fires the Taser at an officer. Then Officer Rolfe draws his weapon, firing at least three times at a running Brooks. Two bullets find their mark, killing the man. He was shot in the back both times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now the Fulton County District Attorney, Paul Howard, is investigating the shooting. Questions remain as to whether the officers face not only sanctions, but possibly even charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The critical point that we are examining and the critical point I believe in this case is what happened at the exact moment of the shooting,\" Howard told cnn.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aftermath that followed the shooting escalated nearly past the boiling point. Atlanta Police Department Chief Erika Shields immediately stepped down from her position, reported cnn.com. The department fired Rolfe. Meanwhile, it placed the other officer, Bronson, on administrative leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And in the streets, Atlanta burned again. Saturday night, protests escalated with the Wendy's restaurant, the site of the shooting, getting torched. Hopefully, the city will get some peace soon. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Atlanta PD Releases Entire Video of Rayshard Brooks Shooting","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"atlanta-rayshard-brooks-shooting-video","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-06 12:33:14","post_modified_gmt":"2024-03-06 17:33:14","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/06\/16\/atlanta-rayshard-brooks-shooting-video\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":126236,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2020-06-09 11:54:15","post_date_gmt":"2020-06-09 15:54:15","post_content":"\n

A Fairfax County Police Officer has been charged with assault following video of a recent arrest in Virginia June 5. The officer appears to repeatedly use a Taser on a disoriented man. For many, it quickly became another case of a white officer abusing a black man, with eerily similar visions of the recent death of George Floyd<\/a> at the hands of Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin. <\/p>\n\n\n

[in_content post=\"210826\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]<\/p>\n\n\n

Fairfax County Officer Charged With Assault<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when officers responded to a 9-1-1 call. The report described a man \"walking int he street shouting that he needed oxygen,\" reported abcnews.com<\/a>. Footage shows the man walking in the street as officers respond. He appears possibly under the influence, or struggling in some other manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After an officer and an EMT attempt to calm the man, Officer Tyler Timberlake comes from behind, deploying a Taser into the suspect. While it subdues him momentarily, the man eventually begins resisting again. Timberlake then appears to strike the man in the head with the Taser. He continues to deploy the Taser repeatedly into the man's back, as blood runs down the man's shoulder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The video also erodes the public's trust of police officers, not only in Fairfax County but throughout this world,\" Col. Edwin C. Roessler Jr. said Saturday at a press briefing on the incident. \"These acts are unacceptable.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possibly most damning, the video shows Timberlake, for a moment, deploy the same knee pin tactic used by Chauvin on George Floyd. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We are fortunate that this technology was in use in the region of the county within which this incident occurred,\" said Fairfax County Commonwealth's Attorney Steve Descano in a news briefing, reported abcnews.com. \"Without it, I fear we would have had an unfortunately narrow and somewhat distorted view of what happened in one of our own neighborhoods.\"<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Fairfax County Officer Tases Suspect, Charged With Assault","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"fairfax-county-officer-charged","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:14:28","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:14:28","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/06\/09\/fairfax-county-officer-charged\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":126248,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2020-06-05 11:53:09","post_date_gmt":"2020-06-05 15:53:09","post_content":"\n

At first glance, it looked like another case of what the entire world seems to be protesting. A flash of video as two cops wrestle with a lone black woman. Then from out of nowhere, a Baltimore cop sends a devastating right hook into her face, knocking the woman out. <\/p>\n\n\n

[in_content post=\"210826\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]<\/p>\n\n\n

Baltimore Cop Knocks Out Woman After Attacking Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The footage went viral, the alleged next in a too-long line of videos showcasing police brutality against African Americans. Only this time it wasn't. And when the police body cam footage finally came to light, we saw an entirely different story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police footage <\/a>shows the woman first drive erratically through a police checkpoint on the night of May 29. Officers had closed the intersection. But the woman inexplicably makes a U-turn, and appears to swerve toward an officer. That's when Sgt. Graig Higley drew his gun and ordered the woman out of the vehicle, reported baltimore.cbslocal.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once out of the vehicle, she immediately gets loud and goes on the defensive. \"Don't touch me,\" she yells. \"I feel attacked.\" Then she turns threatening. \"If you don't violate my rights, I won't violate yours,\" she says to Higley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage then shows Higley attempt to take the woman into custody. The lady resists, striking Higley in the face, hard, two times. Finally, Officer Terry Love clearly sees enough of this. He delivers a haymaker from behind that drops the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immediately, people nearby gather and grow angry. The crowd grows more intense, giving the feeling they might descend on officers at any minute. Higley says several times to the crowd that the woman hit him first. But while people in the crowd became angry, officials saw the incident differently. The Baltimore City State's Attorney's Office issued the following statement: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The Atlanta Police Department and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation released the full video of the shooting death of Rayshard Brooks June 12.

The latest incident began last Friday when officers responded to a call of a man asleep in his car. There, Atlanta Police found the 27-year-old Brooks apparently passed out in his vehicle, parked and blocking a Wendy's drive-through. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While running away, Brooks turns back and fires the Taser at an officer. Then Officer Rolfe draws his weapon, firing at least three times at a running Brooks. Two bullets find their mark, killing the man. He was shot in the back both times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now the Fulton County District Attorney, Paul Howard, is investigating the shooting. Questions remain as to whether the officers face not only sanctions, but possibly even charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The critical point that we are examining and the critical point I believe in this case is what happened at the exact moment of the shooting,\" Howard told cnn.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aftermath that followed the shooting escalated nearly past the boiling point. Atlanta Police Department Chief Erika Shields immediately stepped down from her position, reported cnn.com. The department fired Rolfe. Meanwhile, it placed the other officer, Bronson, on administrative leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And in the streets, Atlanta burned again. Saturday night, protests escalated with the Wendy's restaurant, the site of the shooting, getting torched. Hopefully, the city will get some peace soon. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Atlanta PD Releases Entire Video of Rayshard Brooks Shooting","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"atlanta-rayshard-brooks-shooting-video","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-06 12:33:14","post_modified_gmt":"2024-03-06 17:33:14","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/06\/16\/atlanta-rayshard-brooks-shooting-video\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":126236,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2020-06-09 11:54:15","post_date_gmt":"2020-06-09 15:54:15","post_content":"\n

A Fairfax County Police Officer has been charged with assault following video of a recent arrest in Virginia June 5. The officer appears to repeatedly use a Taser on a disoriented man. For many, it quickly became another case of a white officer abusing a black man, with eerily similar visions of the recent death of George Floyd<\/a> at the hands of Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin. <\/p>\n\n\n

Fairfax County Officer Charged With Assault<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when officers responded to a 9-1-1 call. The report described a man \"walking int he street shouting that he needed oxygen,\" reported abcnews.com<\/a>. Footage shows the man walking in the street as officers respond. He appears possibly under the influence, or struggling in some other manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After an officer and an EMT attempt to calm the man, Officer Tyler Timberlake comes from behind, deploying a Taser into the suspect. While it subdues him momentarily, the man eventually begins resisting again. Timberlake then appears to strike the man in the head with the Taser. He continues to deploy the Taser repeatedly into the man's back, as blood runs down the man's shoulder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The video also erodes the public's trust of police officers, not only in Fairfax County but throughout this world,\" Col. Edwin C. Roessler Jr. said Saturday at a press briefing on the incident. \"These acts are unacceptable.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possibly most damning, the video shows Timberlake, for a moment, deploy the same knee pin tactic used by Chauvin on George Floyd. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We are fortunate that this technology was in use in the region of the county within which this incident occurred,\" said Fairfax County Commonwealth's Attorney Steve Descano in a news briefing, reported abcnews.com. \"Without it, I fear we would have had an unfortunately narrow and somewhat distorted view of what happened in one of our own neighborhoods.\"<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Fairfax County Officer Tases Suspect, Charged With Assault","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"fairfax-county-officer-charged","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:14:28","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:14:28","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/06\/09\/fairfax-county-officer-charged\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":126248,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2020-06-05 11:53:09","post_date_gmt":"2020-06-05 15:53:09","post_content":"\n

At first glance, it looked like another case of what the entire world seems to be protesting. A flash of video as two cops wrestle with a lone black woman. Then from out of nowhere, a Baltimore cop sends a devastating right hook into her face, knocking the woman out. <\/p>\n\n\n

[in_content post=\"210826\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]<\/p>\n\n\n

Baltimore Cop Knocks Out Woman After Attacking Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The footage went viral, the alleged next in a too-long line of videos showcasing police brutality against African Americans. Only this time it wasn't. And when the police body cam footage finally came to light, we saw an entirely different story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police footage <\/a>shows the woman first drive erratically through a police checkpoint on the night of May 29. Officers had closed the intersection. But the woman inexplicably makes a U-turn, and appears to swerve toward an officer. That's when Sgt. Graig Higley drew his gun and ordered the woman out of the vehicle, reported baltimore.cbslocal.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once out of the vehicle, she immediately gets loud and goes on the defensive. \"Don't touch me,\" she yells. \"I feel attacked.\" Then she turns threatening. \"If you don't violate my rights, I won't violate yours,\" she says to Higley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage then shows Higley attempt to take the woman into custody. The lady resists, striking Higley in the face, hard, two times. Finally, Officer Terry Love clearly sees enough of this. He delivers a haymaker from behind that drops the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immediately, people nearby gather and grow angry. The crowd grows more intense, giving the feeling they might descend on officers at any minute. Higley says several times to the crowd that the woman hit him first. But while people in the crowd became angry, officials saw the incident differently. The Baltimore City State's Attorney's Office issued the following statement: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

We have completed a thorough review of this unfortunate incident, and while we strongly disagree with the action the Officer took, it does not rise to the level of illegality. The Officer had other options he could have pursued to de-escalate the situation rather than striking the woman with a closed fist, and we recommend that BPD review this officer\u2019s conduct in the immediate instance, consider his past record of conduct, and take appropriate internal action.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

After the amateur video first went viral, City Council President and mayoral candidate Brandon Scott called Love's action \"unacceptable,\" reported baltimore.cbslocal.com. Meanwhile, Mayor Bernard C. \"Jack\" Young called it \"deeply disturbing.\" However, the police union said the \"officer was protecting his colleague from further attack. Escalation only occurred after the female attacker continued the assault.\"<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Baltimore Cop Knocks Out Woman Who Attacked Fellow Officer First","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"baltimore-cop-knocks-out-woman","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-10-03 11:03:17","post_modified_gmt":"2024-10-03 15:03:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/06\/05\/baltimore-cop-knocks-out-woman\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":126306,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2020-05-26 10:47:20","post_date_gmt":"2020-05-26 14:47:20","post_content":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/sRO7VqhJkHo\n\nA Daytona Beach Police sergeant and officer engaged in an officer-involved shooting Monday.

No Charges Filed in William DeBose Shooting Death<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Denver Police Officer Cpl. Ethan Antonson shot and killed DeBose after the suspect pulled a gun. Footage shows DeBose point the gun at the officer as he ran through a parking lot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn this case, when the gun was pointed at him, under the law, Cpl. Antonson had the right to use deadly physical force,\u201d McCann told denverpost.com<\/a>. \u201cHad he not, he very well could have been shot.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the release of body cam footage, several hundred people marched in protest Thursday following the announcement, reported denverpost.com. DeBose's family insisted he meant no harm to officers when he fled. \u201cThis is wrong,\u201d the father said in video recorded by multiple media outlets. \u201cMy son is dead. He was shot for running for his life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, body cam footage suggests otherwise. The officer's statement also seemingly corroborates the footage from the incident.. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It was a black object, and a very specific draw pattern that I've seen in 20 years of law enforcement,\" Antonson told investigators, reported denverpost.com. \"It's - it was a very specific, and it was a black object in his hand, and the only thought in my head was 'He's going to kill me.'\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tensions continue to run high across the country, with people of all walks of life calling for change in policing. McCann, though electing to not pursue charges in this instance, attempted to address those concerns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI would like to say to (the protesters) that I absolutely support the Black Lives Matter movement and that I will hold police officers accountable when they break the law as I have in the past,\u201d McCann told denverpost.com.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Body Cam Footage Shows William DeBose Pulled Gun","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"william-debose-shooting-denver-police","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:14:24","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:14:24","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/06\/19\/william-debose-shooting-denver-police\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":126204,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2020-06-16 11:10:34","post_date_gmt":"2020-06-16 15:10:34","post_content":"\n

The Atlanta Police Department and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation released the full video of the shooting death of Rayshard Brooks June 12. The shooting set off violent protests and rioting across Atlanta, a city already protesting the murder of George Floyd. In the video above, the struggle ensues at the 41:20 mark. <\/p>\n\n\n

[in_content post=\"210940\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]<\/p>\n\n\n

The Rayshard Brooks Shooting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The latest incident began last Friday when officers responded to a call of a man asleep in his car. There, Atlanta Police found the 27-year-old Brooks apparently passed out in his vehicle, parked and blocking a Wendy's drive-through. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officer body cam<\/a> footage shows the encounter between Officers Garrett Rolfe and Devin Bronson, as they speak with Brooks for nearly 30 minutes. The conversation remains civil throughout. Then officers decide to place Brooks under arrest for failing a sobriety test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Brooks immediately resist, and a mad struggle ensues. Officers take Brooks to the ground, who then somehow manages to overpower them both. Brooks wrestles away a Taser and begins to flee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While running away, Brooks turns back and fires the Taser at an officer. Then Officer Rolfe draws his weapon, firing at least three times at a running Brooks. Two bullets find their mark, killing the man. He was shot in the back both times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now the Fulton County District Attorney, Paul Howard, is investigating the shooting. Questions remain as to whether the officers face not only sanctions, but possibly even charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The critical point that we are examining and the critical point I believe in this case is what happened at the exact moment of the shooting,\" Howard told cnn.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aftermath that followed the shooting escalated nearly past the boiling point. Atlanta Police Department Chief Erika Shields immediately stepped down from her position, reported cnn.com. The department fired Rolfe. Meanwhile, it placed the other officer, Bronson, on administrative leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And in the streets, Atlanta burned again. Saturday night, protests escalated with the Wendy's restaurant, the site of the shooting, getting torched. Hopefully, the city will get some peace soon. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Atlanta PD Releases Entire Video of Rayshard Brooks Shooting","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"atlanta-rayshard-brooks-shooting-video","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-06 12:33:14","post_modified_gmt":"2024-03-06 17:33:14","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/06\/16\/atlanta-rayshard-brooks-shooting-video\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":126236,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2020-06-09 11:54:15","post_date_gmt":"2020-06-09 15:54:15","post_content":"\n

Denver District Attorney Beth McCann announced Thursday that no officers involved in the May 1 shooting death of 21-year-old William DeBose would face criminal charges. The announcement set off another round of emotional protest in Denver. However, recently released body camera<\/a> footage shows the suspect pulled a gun during the fatal incident.<\/p>\n\n\n

No Charges Filed in William DeBose Shooting Death<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Denver Police Officer Cpl. Ethan Antonson shot and killed DeBose after the suspect pulled a gun. Footage shows DeBose point the gun at the officer as he ran through a parking lot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn this case, when the gun was pointed at him, under the law, Cpl. Antonson had the right to use deadly physical force,\u201d McCann told denverpost.com<\/a>. \u201cHad he not, he very well could have been shot.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the release of body cam footage, several hundred people marched in protest Thursday following the announcement, reported denverpost.com. DeBose's family insisted he meant no harm to officers when he fled. \u201cThis is wrong,\u201d the father said in video recorded by multiple media outlets. \u201cMy son is dead. He was shot for running for his life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, body cam footage suggests otherwise. The officer's statement also seemingly corroborates the footage from the incident.. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It was a black object, and a very specific draw pattern that I've seen in 20 years of law enforcement,\" Antonson told investigators, reported denverpost.com. \"It's - it was a very specific, and it was a black object in his hand, and the only thought in my head was 'He's going to kill me.'\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tensions continue to run high across the country, with people of all walks of life calling for change in policing. McCann, though electing to not pursue charges in this instance, attempted to address those concerns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Atlanta Police Department and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation released the full video of the shooting death of Rayshard Brooks June 12. The shooting set off violent protests and rioting across Atlanta, a city already protesting the murder of George Floyd. In the video above, the struggle ensues at the 41:20 mark. <\/p>\n\n\n

[in_content post=\"210940\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]<\/p>\n\n\n

The Rayshard Brooks Shooting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The latest incident began last Friday when officers responded to a call of a man asleep in his car. There, Atlanta Police found the 27-year-old Brooks apparently passed out in his vehicle, parked and blocking a Wendy's drive-through. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officer body cam<\/a> footage shows the encounter between Officers Garrett Rolfe and Devin Bronson, as they speak with Brooks for nearly 30 minutes. The conversation remains civil throughout. Then officers decide to place Brooks under arrest for failing a sobriety test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Brooks immediately resist, and a mad struggle ensues. Officers take Brooks to the ground, who then somehow manages to overpower them both. Brooks wrestles away a Taser and begins to flee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While running away, Brooks turns back and fires the Taser at an officer. Then Officer Rolfe draws his weapon, firing at least three times at a running Brooks. Two bullets find their mark, killing the man. He was shot in the back both times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now the Fulton County District Attorney, Paul Howard, is investigating the shooting. Questions remain as to whether the officers face not only sanctions, but possibly even charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The critical point that we are examining and the critical point I believe in this case is what happened at the exact moment of the shooting,\" Howard told cnn.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aftermath that followed the shooting escalated nearly past the boiling point. Atlanta Police Department Chief Erika Shields immediately stepped down from her position, reported cnn.com. The department fired Rolfe. Meanwhile, it placed the other officer, Bronson, on administrative leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And in the streets, Atlanta burned again. Saturday night, protests escalated with the Wendy's restaurant, the site of the shooting, getting torched. Hopefully, the city will get some peace soon. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Atlanta PD Releases Entire Video of Rayshard Brooks Shooting","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"atlanta-rayshard-brooks-shooting-video","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-06 12:33:14","post_modified_gmt":"2024-03-06 17:33:14","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/06\/16\/atlanta-rayshard-brooks-shooting-video\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":126236,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2020-06-09 11:54:15","post_date_gmt":"2020-06-09 15:54:15","post_content":"\n

A Fairfax County Police Officer has been charged with assault following video of a recent arrest in Virginia June 5. The officer appears to repeatedly use a Taser on a disoriented man. For many, it quickly became another case of a white officer abusing a black man, with eerily similar visions of the recent death of George Floyd<\/a> at the hands of Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin. <\/p>\n\n\n

[in_content post=\"210826\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]<\/p>\n\n\n

Fairfax County Officer Charged With Assault<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when officers responded to a 9-1-1 call. The report described a man \"walking int he street shouting that he needed oxygen,\" reported abcnews.com<\/a>. Footage shows the man walking in the street as officers respond. He appears possibly under the influence, or struggling in some other manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After an officer and an EMT attempt to calm the man, Officer Tyler Timberlake comes from behind, deploying a Taser into the suspect. While it subdues him momentarily, the man eventually begins resisting again. Timberlake then appears to strike the man in the head with the Taser. He continues to deploy the Taser repeatedly into the man's back, as blood runs down the man's shoulder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The video also erodes the public's trust of police officers, not only in Fairfax County but throughout this world,\" Col. Edwin C. Roessler Jr. said Saturday at a press briefing on the incident. \"These acts are unacceptable.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possibly most damning, the video shows Timberlake, for a moment, deploy the same knee pin tactic used by Chauvin on George Floyd. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We are fortunate that this technology was in use in the region of the county within which this incident occurred,\" said Fairfax County Commonwealth's Attorney Steve Descano in a news briefing, reported abcnews.com. \"Without it, I fear we would have had an unfortunately narrow and somewhat distorted view of what happened in one of our own neighborhoods.\"<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Fairfax County Officer Tases Suspect, Charged With Assault","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"fairfax-county-officer-charged","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:14:28","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:14:28","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/06\/09\/fairfax-county-officer-charged\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":126248,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2020-06-05 11:53:09","post_date_gmt":"2020-06-05 15:53:09","post_content":"\n

At first glance, it looked like another case of what the entire world seems to be protesting. A flash of video as two cops wrestle with a lone black woman. Then from out of nowhere, a Baltimore cop sends a devastating right hook into her face, knocking the woman out. <\/p>\n\n\n

[in_content post=\"210826\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]<\/p>\n\n\n

Baltimore Cop Knocks Out Woman After Attacking Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The footage went viral, the alleged next in a too-long line of videos showcasing police brutality against African Americans. Only this time it wasn't. And when the police body cam footage finally came to light, we saw an entirely different story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police footage <\/a>shows the woman first drive erratically through a police checkpoint on the night of May 29. Officers had closed the intersection. But the woman inexplicably makes a U-turn, and appears to swerve toward an officer. That's when Sgt. Graig Higley drew his gun and ordered the woman out of the vehicle, reported baltimore.cbslocal.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once out of the vehicle, she immediately gets loud and goes on the defensive. \"Don't touch me,\" she yells. \"I feel attacked.\" Then she turns threatening. \"If you don't violate my rights, I won't violate yours,\" she says to Higley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage then shows Higley attempt to take the woman into custody. The lady resists, striking Higley in the face, hard, two times. Finally, Officer Terry Love clearly sees enough of this. He delivers a haymaker from behind that drops the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immediately, people nearby gather and grow angry. The crowd grows more intense, giving the feeling they might descend on officers at any minute. Higley says several times to the crowd that the woman hit him first. But while people in the crowd became angry, officials saw the incident differently. The Baltimore City State's Attorney's Office issued the following statement: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

We have completed a thorough review of this unfortunate incident, and while we strongly disagree with the action the Officer took, it does not rise to the level of illegality. The Officer had other options he could have pursued to de-escalate the situation rather than striking the woman with a closed fist, and we recommend that BPD review this officer\u2019s conduct in the immediate instance, consider his past record of conduct, and take appropriate internal action.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

After the amateur video first went viral, City Council President and mayoral candidate Brandon Scott called Love's action \"unacceptable,\" reported baltimore.cbslocal.com. Meanwhile, Mayor Bernard C. \"Jack\" Young called it \"deeply disturbing.\" However, the police union said the \"officer was protecting his colleague from further attack. Escalation only occurred after the female attacker continued the assault.\"<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Baltimore Cop Knocks Out Woman Who Attacked Fellow Officer First","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"baltimore-cop-knocks-out-woman","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-10-03 11:03:17","post_modified_gmt":"2024-10-03 15:03:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/06\/05\/baltimore-cop-knocks-out-woman\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":126306,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2020-05-26 10:47:20","post_date_gmt":"2020-05-26 14:47:20","post_content":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/sRO7VqhJkHo\n\nA Daytona Beach Police sergeant and officer engaged in an officer-involved shooting Monday.

An officer and a sergeant subsequently located the man in a nearby parking lot. Officer body cam<\/a> footage shows the first officer issue several commands to drop the rifle. Instead, police say the suspect pointed the weapon at the officer.\n\nFootage then shows the officer open fire on the suspect. The first responding officer uses his vehicle as cover, moving and relocating before shooting. The sergeant, further away, posts up from his cruiser. He takes a couple of well-aimed shots, with at least one seemingly finding the mark.

For many, it quickly became another case of a white officer abusing a black man, with eerily similar visions of the recent death of George Floyd<\/a> at the hands of Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin. <\/p>\n\n\n

Fairfax County Officer Charged With Assault<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when officers responded to a 9-1-1 call. The report described a man \"walking int he street shouting that he needed oxygen,\" reported abcnews.com<\/a>. Footage shows the man walking in the street as officers respond. He appears possibly under the influence, or struggling in some other manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After an officer and an EMT attempt to calm the man, Officer Tyler Timberlake comes from behind, deploying a Taser into the suspect. While it subdues him momentarily, the man eventually begins resisting again. Timberlake then appears to strike the man in the head with the Taser. He continues to deploy the Taser repeatedly into the man's back, as blood runs down the man's shoulder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The video also erodes the public's trust of police officers, not only in Fairfax County but throughout this world,\" Col. Edwin C. Roessler Jr. said Saturday at a press briefing on the incident. \"These acts are unacceptable.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possibly most damning, the video shows Timberlake, for a moment, deploy the same knee pin tactic used by Chauvin on George Floyd. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We are fortunate that this technology was in use in the region of the county within which this incident occurred,\" said Fairfax County Commonwealth's Attorney Steve Descano in a news briefing, reported abcnews.com. \"Without it, I fear we would have had an unfortunately narrow and somewhat distorted view of what happened in one of our own neighborhoods.\"<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Fairfax County Officer Tases Suspect, Charged With Assault","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"fairfax-county-officer-charged","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:14:28","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:14:28","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/06\/09\/fairfax-county-officer-charged\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":126248,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2020-06-05 11:53:09","post_date_gmt":"2020-06-05 15:53:09","post_content":"\n

At first glance, it looked like another case of what the entire world seems to be protesting. A flash of video as two cops wrestle with a lone black woman. Then from out of nowhere, a Baltimore cop sends a devastating right hook into her face, knocking the woman out. <\/p>\n\n\n

Baltimore Cop Knocks Out Woman After Attacking Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The footage went viral, the alleged next in a too-long line of videos showcasing police brutality against African Americans. Only this time it wasn't. And when the police body cam footage finally came to light, we saw an entirely different story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police footage <\/a>shows the woman first drive erratically through a police checkpoint on the night of May 29. Officers had closed the intersection. But the woman inexplicably makes a U-turn, and appears to swerve toward an officer. That's when Sgt. Graig Higley drew his gun and ordered the woman out of the vehicle, reported baltimore.cbslocal.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once out of the vehicle, she immediately gets loud and goes on the defensive. \"Don't touch me,\" she yells. \"I feel attacked.\" Then she turns threatening. \"If you don't violate my rights, I won't violate yours,\" she says to Higley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage then shows Higley attempt to take the woman into custody. The lady resists, striking Higley in the face, hard, two times. Finally, Officer Terry Love clearly sees enough of this. He delivers a haymaker from behind that drops the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immediately, people nearby gather and grow angry. The crowd grows more intense, giving the feeling they might descend on officers at any minute. Higley says several times to the crowd that the woman hit him first. But while people in the crowd became angry, officials saw the incident differently. The Baltimore City State's Attorney's Office issued the following statement: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

We have completed a thorough review of this unfortunate incident, and while we strongly disagree with the action the Officer took, it does not rise to the level of illegality. The Officer had other options he could have pursued to de-escalate the situation rather than striking the woman with a closed fist, and we recommend that BPD review this officer\u2019s conduct in the immediate instance, consider his past record of conduct, and take appropriate internal action.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

After the amateur video first went viral, City Council President and mayoral candidate Brandon Scott called Love's action \"unacceptable,\" reported baltimore.cbslocal.com. Meanwhile, Mayor Bernard C. \"Jack\" Young called it \"deeply disturbing.\" However, the police union said the \"officer was protecting his colleague from further attack. Escalation only occurred after the female attacker continued the assault.\"<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Baltimore Cop Knocks Out Woman Who Attacked Fellow Officer First","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"baltimore-cop-knocks-out-woman","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-10-03 11:03:17","post_modified_gmt":"2024-10-03 15:03:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/06\/05\/baltimore-cop-knocks-out-woman\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":126306,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2020-05-26 10:47:20","post_date_gmt":"2020-05-26 14:47:20","post_content":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/sRO7VqhJkHo\n\nA Daytona Beach Police sergeant and officer engaged in an officer-involved shooting Monday.

Daytona Beach Police Drop Suspect<\/h2>\nThe incident began when police responded to a call just after 8 a.m., reported news-journalonline.com<\/a>. A Popeye's restaurant employee waited in the parking lot for the business to open when she saw an armed man approach her car.\n\n\"The suspect approached her with a rifle and tried to steal her car,\" Daytona Beach Police Chief Craig Capri told news-journalonline.com. \"She was able to fight him off and get away.\"\n\nAfter the victim managed to escape and drove to a nearby Wawa convenience store, she called 9-1-1, according to news-journalonline.com. An officer and a sergeant subsequently located the man in a nearby parking lot. Officer body cam<\/a> footage shows the first officer issue several commands to drop the rifle. Instead, police say the suspect pointed the weapon at the officer.\n\nFootage then shows the officer open fire on the suspect. The first responding officer uses his vehicle as cover, moving and relocating before shooting. The sergeant, further away, posts up from his cruiser. He takes a couple of well-aimed shots, with at least one seemingly finding the mark. Ultimately, the duo drops the suspect.\n\nOfficials said the suspect underwent surgery from his wounds in a nearby hospital, according to news-journalonline.com. He remains in critical condition, expected to survive.\n
\n\n\"I\u2019m very proud of my officers, the way they acted today. They were very professional. They did their jobs,\" Capri said. \"It\u2019s unfortunate that someone had to be shot in this incident, but we didn\u2019t start this. The suspect escalated this incident. We tried to deescalate.\"\n\nNo officers suffered injury during the incident, according to police.\n\n<\/div>","post_title":"VIDEO: Daytona Beach Police Drop Suspect Armed With Rifle","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"daytona-beach-police-suspect-rifle","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-10-03 11:50:33","post_modified_gmt":"2024-10-03 15:50:33","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/05\/26\/daytona-beach-police-suspect-rifle\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":126314,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2020-05-22 12:38:38","post_date_gmt":"2020-05-22 16:38:38","post_content":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/ykc-hoY_F04\n\nRaleigh Police Offices engaged in a wild, intense gun fight May 13, killing an alleged armed robber.

Raleigh Police Officers Take On Armed Gunman<\/h2>\nThe incident began when several police vehicles responded to a 9-1-1 call. The suspect, 24-year-old David Tylek Atkinson, allegedly robbed a gas station at gunpoint, according to abc11.com<\/a>. Responding officers located Atkinson in a parking lot, when Atkinson reportedly drew a weapon and fired, hitting one officer in the chest. The officer's ballistic vest stopped the bullet, as he immediately returned fire.\n\nFootage shows the gun battle's fatal conclusion. Several officers converge on the suspect, firing on the move. Ultimately, an officer's bullet strikes Atkinson, stopping the threat. Officials said Atkinson died from his wounds at a local hospital, according to abc11.com.
