Texas Police Beat Up Pedestrians for Jaywalking * 1
    #22494225 - 11/08/15 03:53 AM (8 years, 2 months ago)

Your hard earned tax dollars at work.

"Two men had just crossed the street when they were rushed by several Austin police officers who shoved them against a wall, punching and kneeing them while telling them to stop resisting.

When asked what crime had the men committed, one of the cops looked up and said, “crossed against the light.”

Yes, that heinous crime of jaywalking, which is taken very serious in Austin as we learned last year when the city made international news after police beat up a jogger for jaywalking.

    Last Thursday police in Austin, Texas, began a “pedestrian enforcement” activity near the campus of the University of Texas, where they stopped and warned or ticketed jaywalkers.

    When law enforcement officers attempted to issue a jaywalking citation to a jogger, Amanda Jo Stephen, she refused to stop. Some witnesses say she didn’t hear the officers, as she was wearing earphones. Police contend that the officers were clearly visible to her.

    One way or the other, according to reports, police chased her down and detained her, at which point she became unco-operative and refused to give her name. Several officers then placed her under arrest, and she was carried, screaming into a police car and taken to jail, where she was booked for jaywalking and “failure to identify”.

Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo quickly came to the defense of the arresting officers, saying they may have been rough with the female college student, but at least they didn’t rape her.

    This person absolutely took something that was as simple as ‘Austin Police – Stop!’ and decided to do everything you see on that video,” Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo said at a press conference Friday, according to Austin NPR station 90.5 KUT.

    “And quite frankly she wasn’t charged with resisting. She’s lucky I wasn’t the arresting officer, because I wouldn’t have been as generous. … In other cities there’s cops who are actually committing sexual assaults on duty, so I thank God that this is what passes for a controversy in Austin, Texas,” Acevedo said.

So yes, while beating up citizens up for jaywalking might seem a bit extreme, especially since jaywalking citations are supposedly meant for safety reasons, we should be grateful that they didn’t drag the young men into a back alley and sodomize them.

Instead, they dragged one of them into the street and handcuffed him.

But who knows what they would have done had the cameras not been there.

The video was uploaded to Facebook earlier today. But the incident took place Wednesday, according to the person who posted it.

The rape comment was in response to another incident. Not nearly as bad an incident, but it's still an indication that our policing policies need updating.

These are incidents that are a result of a no tolerance approach to jaywalking that's occurring between Oct. 24 through Nov. 5. Apparently the officers in the OP didn't get the memo on the end date.

[sarcasm]Here's evidence of one of the men resisting.


...and the officers due response.[/sarcasm]

Who cares :tongue2:, theyl gotta walk back into the station and laugh at how ridicules a situation got for jaywalking. I can guarantee the other officers are making fun of the officers that started that mess right now.

Send them a fine or something instead sheesh. Laws are supposed to represent the will of the people, nobody should get beat up for jaywalking, I do live in a small town up Canadee way, but I jaywalk all the time.

Why can't there be a rule where the reaction from the cop has to be proportional to the original crime, avoiding the whole resisting arrest bullshit? That way if someone refuses to stop for jaywalking then cops don't end up punching people in the face, they just let them go. Pick your battles, you know.

why cant there be a rule that people have to release the video from 2 minutes prior
to any encounter with the police because what I see here is some dumbasses decided
to disregard police order in order to get some shit on tape and become the latest
"victims" of police brutality and gain their 15 minutes of fame

Sure, I'm OK with that rule also.

You're right with our current laws the cops didn't do anything wrong. What I'm saying is the laws are fucked up.

Cops shouldn't have the ultimate authority to say "stop right now or I'll beat the shit out of you" just for jaywalking. Murder, stealing, assault.... Yes.  I'm just saying there needs to be a limit to it.

What we are witnessing is the militarization of our police force.  They are no longer taught that they are public servants here to set an example for us.  It is now taught a "Us against them" mentality.  I have lived with people training to be cop and let me tell you their personality is some of the most vile and disgusting attitudes I have ever seen.  These cops could care less what crime they committed if you could even call jaywalking a crime.  All they wanted was the blood rush of beating someone up and knowing they could get away with it.  One of my buddies dad is a lawyer, he's an older gentleman and without me telling my opinion of pigs I asked him how he felt about cops.  He responded along the lines of "losers in high school that swore one day they would be the bully".  We need to drastically change our military... oh wait I mean police force.

so you're proposing that every cop have a police monitor, a person standing there
telling them what's appropriate action for what ever they're doing. that should
go over really well with those of us that are paying for the added manpower

there's interaction time between the time the video starts and the time the
incident began, what we do know from interaction on the video is that the cops
had warned these people not to do something and they continued to do what they
were warned against doing... should the cops simply ignore that shit even though
the action of those people disobeying the order run the risk of being injure or
others coming to harm because of their actions?

something else we know is that both of these guys that were being arrested were
being uncooperative, at what pint d we stop blaming the goons for being goons and
start blaming the assholes for being assholes. the cops are merely reacting to
something that was easily avoidable had the two assholes simply listened from the
start because their lack of cooperation started before the video started recording

yes they should wear a police camera that is always running 24/7 we have that technology

anyone who is against that is simply a police officer who enjoys his power trip

what I'm witnessing is the liberals doing what liberals do, they bash the cops
because the dickheads dont want to listen to what the cops said. "dont rape that
woman!" 'fuck you pig, I'll do what I want' so the perp gets beat when he resists
and the liberals blame the cop

What were the charges besides resisting arrest? That's all I'm asking. There doesn't have to be a camera on the cops at all times to tell us that. If they were only trying to enforce jaywalking laws then they shouldn't be allowed to say "stop or I'll beat the shit out of you". That's all I'm saying. Can we agree to that?
