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

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?

The police are doing Gods work, jaywalkers are terrible people. Crosswalks help society function like a well maintained machine.

In the words of Sgt. Barnes from "Platoon"; if the machine breaks down, we all break down.

One day I hope I can see a video like that where the entire scene is filmed, not just the arrest.

Was the kid being a smart ass?
Was he taunting the cops?
Was he previously known by the cops?

You know. context.

Looking at a video that begins with a cop punching a guy to the ground and having 0 idea of what went down first throws everything off. Did the guy argue like a jackass for 10 minutes before the cop lost patience? We never know that part of the story.

I don't imagine a cop just walking down thesidewalk and suddenly beating the shit out of someone for no reason. The cop just woke up that morning and decided to throw his life away? I don't think so...

In effect, that is what they are saying. If you don't stop I will use violence to make you stop. No, they shouldn't be able to use force to make someone stop after jaywalking.

In effect, that is what they are saying. If you don't stop I will use violence to make you stop. No, they shouldn't be able to use force to make someone stop after jaywalking.





no, that's simply the narrative you put on it

your views are exactly the type of views that have escalated these situations to
what they are, people violating minor laws, refusing to simply take the citation
and it becomes a situation where they have a felony resisting charge instead of a
$15 fine for jay walking

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?

Yes, they should.

The account from the video taker (friend of "victims") is that they walked across a barricaded street and apparently kicked/jumped on/parkour off of a jersey barrier/blockade.  The police requested them to stop. An individual said something like "No, fuck you!" and they all finished crossing the street and the events in the video began.

To my knowledge no statement from the police has been released from their point of view, and no third party witness has made a public statement.

I'm in the boat of police reactions proportional to the crime on this one. Based on the account from the friend (unsubstantiated as it is) it seems like over use of force was used here. If the group had immediately complied with the police officer's orders it would have negated the city wide police crackdown on jaywalking by leaving a group of pedestrians stationary in middle of a street. Alowing them to finish walking across the street and approaching them safely would have been more appropriate. We have no measure of how many times the police requested them to stop but assuming (yeah, I know) it was only once their reaction was unproportional to the crime, even if they said fuck you.




These two gifs are separated by just a few seconds the one where he's complying and putting his hands against the wall happened first. This is why the police's response was unproportional.

horse shit... they could have simply crossed back the way they came and shit would
have been fine, instead they took the "I know my rights" approach and continued
their quest to disregard the cop's instructions and instead of handling shit like
adults they decided to hash is out in the street, as several others had pointed out
they're clearly shown resisting and in today's environment we all know what that
gets you, the cops call it 'pain compliance techniques', libtards call it a
beating when in reality this little pussies didnt get close to a beating, one guy
got punched in the arm a few times HOLY FUCKING SHIT, EXECUTE THE COPS FOR
PUNCHING SOMEONE IN THE ARM!!!!

as I said before, we've become a nation of pansies

So he should have allowed himself to be tackled face first through a window? He should resist his instinctual urge to protect the delicate organs in his face that allow him to perceive and communicate with the world at large? He should accept a massive loss in quality of life to uphold the idea that police have a hard job?

No motor vehicles were involved in the arrest. The law breakers, which no one is debating here they broke the law, were never in a car. The police were never in a car, they were on bikes.

What is being debated is the over use of force.

If I break the law and the cop observes me but I tell him to fuck off and die I aint giving him ID to cite me does that mean he has to accede to my wishes and just walk away without doing what is required to ensure that the law is enforced?

Although the cop said the reason for the assault and arrest was that the victims had "crossed against the light", it seems that the real reason was because someone from the group cursed at the cops.

It all started when a group of five friends, all in their mid-20s, were walking early Friday morning. “We were walking across the street, the sign said do not walk, but (the) lights were already turning yellow and (the) streets were blocked off so we kept walking,” Rolando Ramiro, who recorded and posted the video, told the American-Statesman. The police then asked for IDs, but two of them responded by yelling an expletive. That apparently offended the cops, and lots of officers started approaching.

The video begins with three officers trying to detain one of the men. At one point, one officer appears to put him in a chokehold, and another one can clearly be seen punching his arm. Meanwhile the person is on the ground, demanding to know why he is being detained. “I’m handcuffed already, you can get your knees off me,” the man on the ground says at one point. One of their friends, a woman, starts getting involved and demands to know why he is being taken to jail. “Crossing against the light,” the officer can be heard saying. That woman and another man were also handcuffed and arrested in a violent manner, even though it doesn’t seem like they did anything to resist at any point. One of the three people arrested was charged with resisting arrest.

“As is standard protocol, the Chain of Command will review the Response to Resistance and the incident to determine what led up to the events captured in the video and whether the officer’s actions were in compliance with APD policy,” the Austin Police Department said.

Here you can see a jaywalker hands raised walking towards the window with the officers hands on his shoulders. A few feet from the window the officer changes his grip into a half nelson and begins to perform a take down. The jaywalker is surprised by this escalation as he was complying with the officers physical direction and sees that the take down is heading towards the window. In an attempt prevent his face from breaking the window and potentially falling onto broken shards of glass he rolls his shoulder towards the window. The officer being tied up in a half nelson gets spun into the window as well.

Yes, there are a lot of assumption on motive in this description but I don't believe my synopsis is too far fetched. So, in essence the jaywalkers attempt at self preservation was read as resistance.

This is criminal neglect on that officers part. Two wrongs don't make a right. The jaywalker was jaywalking, yes. When he realizes the error of his way by getting hit by a car he get a bit of pep in his step. Then the driver attempts to kill him.

to murderers and rapists as long as they dont act violently towards the cops

"come on mister criminal, let me just put these handcuffs on you, it'll be fun"



I've said we don't know how many times they were told to stop, but given that they were literately stepping up the curb of a small road at the beginning of  the video that only gives the officers the time it takes for a healthy young adult to cross a street to say something. Now, how much time does a young adult take to cross a street and in that time how many times can an officer make a request to stop?

If the group had immediately complied with the police officer's orders it would have negated the city wide police crackdown on jaywalking by leaving a group of pedestrians stationary in middle of a street.






horse shit... they could have simply crossed back the way they came and shit would
have been fine, instead they took the "I know my rights" approach and continued
their quest to disregard the cop's instructions and instead of handling shit like
adults they decided to hash is out in the street, as several others had pointed out
they're clearly shown resisting and in today's environment we all know what that
gets you, the cops call it 'pain compliance techniques', libtards call it a
beating when in reality this little pussies didnt get close to a beating, one guy
got punched in the arm a few times HOLY FUCKING SHIT, EXECUTE THE COPS FOR
PUNCHING SOMEONE IN THE ARM!!!!

as I said before, we've become a nation of pansies




HOLY FUCKING SHIT, EXECUTE THE MAN FOR CROSSING THE STREET!
In no way was that an appropriate level of force the bloke was not resisting!
Better PANSIES than FASCISTS imo.

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

The cop pulls him around! When in that position (half nelson) the officer has total leverage and control which he then abused!

is it? there have been several times the body cam video was released and even
though it shows self defense the liberals are claiming that it's murder and
demand charges against the cops, that leads to extremely costly trials in
which juries seen to be acquitting the cops because they also see self defense

there's never a win for the cops and there's never a win for tax payers footing these bills

if the persona is complying, in the gif you posted there's a gap between the
officers elbow and the point it would connect on the guy he's trying to take
into custody, that means the guy is moving before the cop

Let me fully break this down. The appropriate way to handle this situation is:
Upon being told fuck you the police officer follow them across the street and press the complying citizen against the window, remove hand cuffs from belt, pull one arm behind the citizen and cuff it then pull the other arm and cuff it.

What happened is the officer attempted to throw the citizen into window. The citizen recognizing the danger of this exhibits self preservation. This self preservation convinces another officer that the citizen is resisting even though he is complying. The second officer enters the struggle and begins to fight with the first officer for control of the citizen. This prompts a third officer to enter the struggle and begins fighting the other two officers for control of the complying citizen.

let's give the other narrative, the guy says "fuck you" and is followed by the
cop, the cop reaches for him and he tries pulling away so the cops rushes him and
slams him into the window and starts to apply a half nelson and while fishing for
the other hand the guy starts to turn around on the cop which in turn appears
he's trying to elbow the cop in the jaw so the cop forces him down where he
continues to resist resulting him him being punched in the arm while the cop is
trying to gain control of his hand to apply handcuffs

The officer in not slowing down upon approach of the window and begins applying the half nelson as the citizen slows himself as he approaches the window. This is self preservation. The citizen is slowing himself as to not hit the window with enough force to potentially break it. The officer recognizes this act of self preservation as resistance and applies a half nelson while continuing to push the citizen full force into the window. The citizen recognizing that the officer is not going to allow him to slow down and rolls his shoulder into the window.

The officers are clearly angered by their comment.

The officer attempts to throw the citizen into the window. The citizen resists the potential damage that that may cause. The officer sees this and attempts to body slam the citizen. The citizen resists the potential damage that that may cause. The officer knees the citizen in the hip. The citizen reels in pain and buckles. The officer proceeds to beat the citizen in the back of the head. The citizen covers the back of his head/neck in an attempt to lessen the damage that will cause.

How is the footage of a man with his hands in the air in the clutches of a cop calmly complying a verification of anything other than an unjustified escalation by frustrated individuals(cops).

wanna know how I teach my kids to defend themselves against bullies. I tell them to
raise their hands in a submissive posture and to draw a lot of attention to
themselves while shouting "I dont want to fight you, stop hitting me"

everything the guy did after disregarding the barricade was more to escalate the incident

The barricades were to stop vehicles not pedestrians. It's likley the individuals did whatever they did to the barricades to have the officers acknowledge the barricades as a device specifically desigened and placed to allow pedestrians to cross.

I don't think the victim was the one who cursed at the cops. He kept saying "what did I do?" If the cops had told him, or, if he heard the cops saying to stop, he wouldn't have been asking what he did.

Jaywalking isn't thought of as a crime by most people so I can totally see someone asking this question after being bum rushed after committing the crime. Generally it's a tickit-able offense.

It's just that Austin is cracking down hard on jaywalking. When you get uppity police officers under high pressure from higher up and  citizens who don't think they're doing anything wrong shit like this is bound to happen.

Doesn't mean it's ok for police to be so brutal though for such a mundane offence. It's like police arresting children for common childlike behaviors. Except it's adults being beaten for a simple infraction.
