      Imagine his joyful reunions with those he arrested and who are now doing time.

        Ok, not physical brutality here, but this crooked cop needs to go to jail for a long time for this BS.



        The lesson is just don't give consent to search.

          What an asshole. What did he get out of doing that? Is civil forfeiture used in Florida?

            You get results like drug busts, and are seen as a valuable member on the force, and opportunities to move up come your way.

              at the cost of ruining lives of strangers. This obvious sociopath needs to go to jail for a couple of decades.

                At least. If he got life I wouldn't feel sorry for him. Such disgusting abuse of a position of public trust needs to be severely punished.

                Hes also apparently a dummy. Planting evidence while wearing a body cam? WTF?

                  Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

And it's unclear what the officer is talking with his hands, as he's holding them in an odd position to be using them to converse. At one point he appears to be holding up two fingers, but it's unclear why.

                    That said, the guy with the phone cam is clearly recording. If he believed the cop flipped him off, he wouldn't have released a still, he would have released the video. The mere fact that he chose to use a still instead of the video is pretty strong circumstantial evidence that the photo is probably photoshopped.

                    EDIT: here is what the body cam footage shows at the time of the photo on the left:

                        Do former police officers count?

                        A former cop and his son, a former investigator for the DA, think they've found the suspect for recent burglaries. They've obviously stewed about this for awhile. The video seems like they've recruited someone to follow Arbery while he's running (hence the dash cam), and they set up a road block to, um, apprehend Arbery.

                        Graphic video warning:


                        The killers are interviewed by the police and the DA, in February. Why are we hearing about this now? Because the video has been discovered. Turns out the DA took offered up a veeeery convenient interpretation of the conflict as reason not to charge the father and son. Another DA is now recommending a grand jury.

                        There's interesting angles with Georgia's 'citizen arrest' laws, which either the original DA completely misunderstood or just ignored. I know which side I'm betting on. I'll add some baseline racism just for good measure.

                        Here's a good summary:

                        The right to make a ‘citizen’s arrest’ isn’t a license to kill.
                        "...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

                            The social media “mob” in this case did a great thing. LeBron James puts this on his Instagram (64 million followers) and the next day theses scumbags are arrested.
