[QUOTE=Code3Response;44723288]Thats depending on Tennessee law. He may have immunity from the person pressing charges against him specifically. I'd take it to tort anyway.. you'd get a lot more out of it. [editline]4th May 2014[/editline] Dumbest post of the thread.[/QUOTE] The guy was just standing there, handcuffed, with two officers holding him while this other cop came over simply to choke him into unconsciousness for no other reason than sadistic pleasure. IDC that cop deserves to go to prison, if I were the DA I would charge him with torture.
[QUOTE=Rangergxi;44720294] [IMG]http://big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/cop-excessive-force-900.gif[/IMG][/QUOTE] I just hate how the two other cops' expressions dont even change. They don't even fucking blink.
JJ Jones is a really cool guy. I've met him twice Source: lived in Knoxville all my life.

I doubt you'll see anything criminal - especially torture - from this. It would be great if you stopped calling it "sadistic" pleasure because, you know, you cant prove that and that its probably not true anyway. and to clarify: I am in no way supporting this. What happened is wrong and the officer got fired because of it. Nothing wrong with that. I am just pointing out that the victim will have better success in tort court than criminal.
I wonder if you could break up the [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Code_of_Silence]blue code[/url] by having rival departments that work with but against each other.

[QUOTE=Miskav;44727334] Are cops above the law in the US?[/QUOTE] Yeah.
[QUOTE=download;44720339]Amazing, a police force actually doing something about police brutality.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=outlawpickle;44720475]Bra-fucking-vo that a cop actually faces repercussions for their actions.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Unit-05;44720852]It's good that they are starting to actually punish police officers over this shit[/QUOTE] Police officers getting fired after internal investigation does not get widespread news coverage and never has.
Sometimes globalisation amazes me. The firing of an American police officer is a result of images being published of abuse by a British newspaper.
