Police in action
He should sue the police force that police brutally. Some of them don’t respect the uniform. Because the have it they think they unstoppable.
Get yourself a good lawyer,none that them can bribe and buyout,and clap some good lawsuits pon them cause Antigua become a dog eat dog country
Look at me cry. At least you alive to tell your story and not dead like Manny James. That cousin in that van that never stopped police is not your tribe. He wicked likadem. I hope the new top cop seeing.
At least he has a lawyer who seems to be feared by members of the judiciary. Rest assured. He can hand in his resignation letter to Ounces right now.
The action by the police was excessive and unwarranted…And we wonder why the community refuses to work with the same to assist in crime solving…just gimme a break
Seems like the police force is doing a great job alienating themselves from the public
Show the same level of commitment for the individuals in custody regarding the missing 9-year-old. It is essential that officers receive proper training in crime fighting and in how to interact with civilians. Some officers arrive on duty already angry and end up taking their frustrations out on civilians, rather than directing their efforts toward the actual perpetrators.
I wonder if some haven’t eaten for the day why they seem to have become americanized
If he is a criminal, it is okay to treat him like that.
Luka move your ass. You heard the man say he was going to work. He said he did nothing. Wicked statement. Get off this forum. Are you retarded? Or did you not listen at all to the man’s interview. You are a shit case
I.keep replaying this video. That cannot be right. It’s a nasty habit thr police have. Look at what they did to that old man. The 80 plus dude. Come on man. When will this episodes end?
It took civilians to make grounds on an important breakthrough yet the police using force to terrorize civilians smh. And to make it worst he targeted the wrong person. Even though he was the person he looking for is that how police deal with people?
Sue their ass! Let these egotistical pieces of dog shit know that they are not above the law just because they wear the uniform. They are thugs and should be treated as such. They must be FIRED forthwith !!!
Wild dogs impersonating police officers
Yes. That was seriously a little too much. He did not deserve that treatment for sure. The officer needs to held accountable for those actions. If the young man had done something, he should be dealt with accordingly. But that was assault on him by the officer. Waaayyy too much force.
Get Wendell
That was unprovoked and unwarranted. The man wasn’t resisting or anything.
The people that kill Chantel u all should take out that force on.
Young man do what u have to do
