[su_center_ad]
A white Florida police officer has been placed on leave pending an internal investigation after he used his taser on a 61-year-old African-American woman during an arrest in Tallahassee. Upon reviewing the video, Police Chief Michael DeLeo said that he has “enough concerns to call for an internal investigation. After she was tasered, Viola Young was…

What I saw is someone resisting arrest , she was told to go back but didn’t when she was being placed under arrest she ran , even the ones videoing said for her not to come up

she never ran, she turned around and he tazed her. walking on the street because there are NO sidewalks, 4 cruisers and 8 cops for jay walking and asking why…

its like i’ve said, even when there’s video of an incident, they still refuse to believe what they see. must be those lying eyes. she WAS NOT RUNNING. she turned away from him and that was his cue to use violence against her. say teddy, were you watching the video through your sun shades? take them off and try again.

some people are pugnacious and willfully blind to facts

tracey marie October 1st, 2014 at 10:29 pm

Oh well be pissed off , and stupid too , if you resist arrest that is what happens , why should he chase someone , but since you know how to do it why aren’t you a cop ???
Teddy Simon October 3rd, 2014 at 10:06 am
RESISTING ARREST , doesn’t matter if you walk or run if you are being placed under arrest and try to get away , which is what she did well you stand the chance of getting tazed , why should he chase someone

Resisting arrest does not necessarily give an officer the right to use excessive force. That is what is in question here.
Try not to get out of hand with the language when dealing with those you disagree with. Back and forth mud slinging will most likely get deleted.

I can’t help it , when you deal with people that only think there is white on black crime are only concern themselves that so the race card can be thrown .
whatthe46 October 1st, 2014 at 10:07 pm
you don’t shoot someone in the back. PERIOD! there was no violence! what was the point?

“Upon reviewing the video, Police Chief Michael DeLeo said that he has “enough concerns to call for an internal investigation”
The Police chief had concerns about it… you obviously don’t. You saw what you WANTED to see

First off she didn’t run she walked away. Go be racist somewhere else
Teddy Simon October 3rd, 2014 at 10:00 am
FU and your racist crap , walk , run it doesn’t matter when you are being placed under arrest if you try to get away it is called resisting , go be stupid somewhere else
lynchie October 3rd, 2014 at 11:37 am
watch the video. She wasn’t being placed under arrest and is that a reason to taser her in the back. there was no resisting. Go back to your right wing group and cuddle your gun.
Teddy Simon October 11th, 2014 at 4:33 am
You look at the video dumbass , when the officer grabbed her arms to put them behind her she took off , that is resisting arrest , oh and dumbass , I’m a democrat
lynchie October 11th, 2014 at 7:17 am
You are no democrat. Your a racist
Teddy Simon October 11th, 2014 at 10:49 am
What the F#%@ does race have to do with this ? Just because white people don’t go around videoing all of the time and show that this does happen to white people too doesn’t mean it don’t happen . But oh go ahead pull the race card every time something happens when a black person does something stupid
Teddy Simon October 11th, 2014 at 10:51 am
Another thing WTF does politics have to do with any of this , you may not be but you sure seem like an idiot
whatthe46 October 1st, 2014 at 10:01 pm
there are no GD sidewalks. WTF. and why in the hell are they there to begin with? and if the only charges were “resisting” then its, as we all know it will be dismissed. they should all get an attorney and sue for harrassment. it doesn’t matter if they do not win the case in so much, as the point will be to bring these forces through the ringer. this shit has to end. that’s why i said, after the guilty verdict in dunn, that they got something right, but i will not hold my breath that they will continue to do the right thing. FLPD needs an enema and an overhaul. PERIOD!!!! unlike the NYPD incident where a cop shot an unarmed man in the back and claimed that he thought it was a taser, i’m at least glad that this bastard knew the difference. his problem is, there was no excuse for shooting someone in the FK’n back.

I would have the what was really disarming was policemen in shorts. Cute but not a lot of authority image. 🙂

I like it ” resisting without violence.”
Teddy Simon October 11th, 2014 at 5:26 pm
Oh really maybe you should try different news network , because I have , the problem is the news media only pushes the white on black because that is where the ratings are .But people like you don’t want to believe it . Try and do a little research .
