Brickbat: To Protect and Serve

Former Prince George's County, Maryland, police officer Bryant Strong was sentenced to a year in prison followed by three years of probation for assaulting a handcuffed man, leaving the man paralyzed from the waist down. Police had stopped Demonte Ward-Blake for an expired tag. Ward-Blake was "verbally agitated" but cooperative with officers. After Ward-Blake was handcuffed, Strong took him to the ground, injuring him. A police department spokesman had claimed Ward-Blake was injured when he fell trying to run from police. But Ward-Blake's girlfriend and another officer on the scene contradicted that story.

Sadly, this probably also means the other officer who testified against Strong will never have a career fir his violation of o̶m̶e̶r̶t̶à̶ the blue code.

Not only that but Ward-Blake will have departments tripping over themselves to hire him when he gets out of jail.

I'm sure Officer Strong, from his many years experience in such cases, perceived that Ward-Blake was going to run and pre-emptively tackled him to the ground. Cops can sense these sorts of things, you know. They know when a suspect is about to assault them, for example, and will defend themselves by assaulting the perp first.

How common-sense Red Flag laws work.

Same spidey-sense that lets them smell growing (but not burning) marijuana plants in a basement from all the way out on the sidewalk.

According to the statement, one officer unholstered his weapon, causing Ward-Blake to become “verbally agitated at the time.”

Fearing for one's safety is a one-way street.

What part of 'words are violence' do you not understand?

But P.G. County is run by Black Democrats. This must be fake news.
