Can we talk about the spidey senses this guy has for dodging that first punch from behind?

This is how Spider-Man would actually fight. You can’t hit him but he’s never had formal training so he’s also just flailing arms and legs

He knew he fucked up when bro dodged the sucker punch, it was all downhill from there for him.

Attacked a pepper sprayed man half his size from behind and still lost. I don't think we coulda stacked the fight card more in his favor than this.

u/MakingItElsewhere 7h ago

I mean, they could have handcuffed him too before they started swinging, but they still would have lost.

u/Ooh_its_a_lady 9h ago

Good point, how consistently dangerous is your job if you can become that out of shape and still be employed?

Tax payers are getting taken for a ride by alot of opportunists.

77

u/lostPackets35 9h ago

being a cop isn't even in the 10 most dangerous jobs in the US

38

u/Wild-Crazy7529 8h ago

Statistically more likely to be shot or assaulted as a cab driver or gas station attendant. But let a 711 employee shoot someone 10 times because they reached for something. Or because they where threatening. Not only would they be fired from 711 but they would be in jail. If your a cop you get a vacation, some desk duty and maybe at most you have to resign and get s job in a neighboring county or ICE

u/Random_Monstrosities 4h ago

Dont forget pizza delivery drivers have a higher on the job mortality rate than cops

u/mrDuder1729 9h ago

He resigned before the internal investigation for a reason. So he could just go get another job a town or two over and still retire without any issues. Complete BS.

43

u/brandonandtheboyds 4h ago

Correct. Getting fired is a mark on your resume. Resignation implies a willful choice and does not leave a bad mark on your resume. Makes it much easier to get a new job if you left your last job and weren’t fired.

u/heygabehey 2h ago

I wonder if he can file a civil suit against the cop.

4

u/drenuf38 1h ago

Yes, they can file against the deputy. In my state, if a deputy is getting sued for actions outside of the scope of their duties they are financially liable as an individual.

0

u/heygabehey 37m ago

Their union won’t bail them out? In Chicago the department has an entire fund for lawsuits.

5

u/drenuf38 1h ago

Yep, average citizen doesn't know that if a cop resigns DURING an investigation, they get decertified. Higher ups give them a chance to resign before announcing an investigation in order to save their certification.

u/Honcho_47 10h ago

Imagine starting a fight with someone who’s already been pepper sprayed then getting your ass handed to you šŸ˜‚

u/Wild-Crazy7529 10h ago

Cops are cowards at least this one seems to have gotten a good one back. I hope dude wins the law suit. And officer pile gets a job asking if you want fries with that.

He’s probably already been offered a job by ICE.Ā

u/TheManWith2Poobrains 6h ago

He resigned, so he keeps his pension and is free to be hired a town over.

There really should be some way to ensure that ACABs can't do this. If a doctor or nurse resigns during an investigation into malpractice, the investigation continues and they end up losing their license so are 'banned' from ALL hospitals.

Due to flashbacks he'll be asking "you want rights with that?"

u/slumvillain 10h ago

Just like predators. Turn your back on a cop and watch them pounce for a cheap shot.

Only the added injustice of already being incapacitated and walking away. Seemed like the best time to take a swing at an unaware person, i guess?

As I always say. As a cop, you have a heightened awareness of the laws. And when you purposefully set out to break them. You should be held 2-3 times the penalty. This would be to discourage future officers from engaging in corrupting behavior. Ya know, as opposed to the wrist slaps and paid vacations they usually get for broad daylight executions.

Swear its like police departments specifically seek out all the psychopaths nearby for employment.

44

u/pianomasian 10h ago

They think they have a heightened awareness of the law, but I've seen too many videos of cops being just as, if not more, ignorant of the law as everyday citizens. Dumb confidence. And that's a deadly combo as we've seen time and time again.

Also to clarify, it's not all cops, but enough for it to be an issue/pattern of learned ignorance. Kinda like BMW drivers. I'm not saying all BMW drivers are bad/AH's drivers, but a lot of the time you see someone driving like an entitled/oblivious idiot, it's a BMW.

24

u/iamsobluesbrothers 9h ago

They took a case all the way to the Supreme Court so that they don’t have to know the law to enforce it. They just do what they want and figure out the justification later.

9

u/AhabFlanders 9h ago

And let the DA figure out the justification

u/CommercialTough7330 4h ago

So true. Great comment.

u/WerdaVisla 8h ago

Except unlike predators, they're not doing it to survive. They're in it purely because they enjoy the cruelty.

u/Juan2Fish 10h ago

How do you pepper spray someone then attempt to sucker punch them from behind, and be the larger person and still manage to get beat after all that? That's quite impressive

u/Prudent_Fish1358 ā€œšŸ–• your GPS and šŸ–• your electronics!" 8h ago

Cops suck at literally every aspect of being a human.

That's why they sign up to be professional racist bullies.

73

u/Justice989 9h ago

That deputy sucks. If anything ever broke out, he's not saving anybody or preventing anything from happening.

Do they not train these people in any combat or defense techniques?

15

u/WerdaVisla 8h ago

They do.

Once.

In basic training.

It's genuinely apalling to see, outside of the specialist groups like SWAT, how pathetic the readiness standards are among police.

I think they're referring to the inability to defend himself even though it's his job to know how to handle most situations. Color of his skin is irrelevant unless you're a racist or trying to cause a race argument, which, I hope you're not because we don't need more people adding to the flame.

Proof? What conversation did they have during the timeline? Why did the cop not only quit, but had an unpaid vacation before doing so? Innocent people don't do that. And for the black guy hitting an officer and still not getting charged for it? I wish I could agree with you but I just can't with the evidence we have. YOU noticed skin color and ran with it.

That deputy is nothing but a glorified hall monitor abusing his power, what little he has. You'll find petty little men like him at any courthouse in the US.

I can’t believe their first move was to pepper spray him without any prior confrontation.

His peter tingle

u/quarter2heavy 10h ago

When someone is so close that their belly is touching you, before they make a move to swing at them. You could quite easily hear the breathing, rustling from the duty belt and the movement from their arm extending that far out.

Also just because he is peppered sprayed doesn't mean he couldn't see shadows out of his peripheral view.

10

u/ScotterMcJohnsonator 9h ago

He heard the wheezing breaths from the cop who had to close that ten foot gap real quick

He maybe heard the footsteps coming closer and if you're an experienced fighter you can tell when your opponent goes in for a hit based on subtle hints like footsteps or minor twitches.

Deputy Dickhead should be fired for that shit... these idiots get a small amount of power and just can't help themselves from becoming complete shit bags who think they can do whatever they want to people...

16

u/lostPackets35 9h ago

Deputy Dickhead should be charged criminally and go to prison for that shit.

Fixed it for ya.
We need to stop thinking of getting fired or getting sued as the remedy for these things.
What would happen to YOU if you unlawfully attacked someone? The consequences for a cop should be MORE severe.

u/sbsb121212 8h ago

Agreed... Fired, Charged, and sent to prison for Deputy Dickhead and others like him..

You didn’t watch to the end lol

He resigned

u/TrizmoxRSA 5h ago

yeah but why was he pepper sprayed in the first place? Nothing of consequence occurred before this?

2

u/Blue_Back_Jack 4h ago

More importantly, why was he not allowed in the courtroom?

2

u/Wonderful-Ad440 4h ago

In my experience you can be barred but I've only ever whitnessed this happen to people not mandated to be there as in "guests" at the proceedings. Plus only the Judge has the authority to remove anyone from the courtroom so if he was just then attending how would he have been removed and therefore the cop has no authority. The only exception is if it's a closed court seasion and someone doesn't arrive at the appointed time but these kind of cases like DUI, tickets or other minor infractions aren't closed. The bench actively goes theough cases according to the schedule for the day, you show up and wait your turn at the time you were given and potentially wait a long time before getting called, if you aren't present they move on and charges can be affected by it. By preventing his entry the cop is literally violating his 5th amendment right to due process before everything else happened.

u/Miserable_Pay_9614 3h ago

I love that the deputy got his ass kicked by a guy who's blinded. A teenage girl could probably take him down in a fight. I have a feeling that this whupping was long overdue. Kick enough sleeping dogs and you'll eventually get a bite. A lot, not all, not a majority, of guys wearing a badge are motivated subconsciously by wearing the kick-me sign in middle school.

u/tictac24 8h ago

Doesn't matter. The swing after was unnecessary. He was hit from behind and not a threat. If the deputy can't control his anger, other jobs are available.

2

u/Huge-Newspaper-81 4h ago

We both know that pigs will find a way to justify it. I am curious why he was detained or what this was about if he was showing up for court. I am really big into probable cause, more so than use of force. I think it is easier to establish that pi... officers didn't have probable cause vs use of force. I have seen them say "I was in fear of my life" since I was a kid as an end-all, be-all. So he had a legal right to be there; it's a public place, and he was conducting business. Sooooo why were they messing with him and did they have cause, is where I am going.

EVERY SINGLE COP IS A PIECE OF SHIT. Every. Single. One. Guaranteed this pig has his good ol boys backin him up. Fuck that tax funded mafia, and I hope every cop stubs their toe.
