Shocking footage shows two Washington DC cops wrestle innocent black man to the ground, after a woman said he made her feel "uncomfortable" near an ATM. Man released without charge.

Woman says she feels threatened by a man, government strong arms come to show him who's boss. That'll teach him to make women feel uncomfortable. Next time he'll probably just go to another ATM if he sees a woman there. Really fucking good society we're setting up here.

Stop resisting....while we bend your arm in a completely unnatural way.

EdinMiami · 2015-10-16T04:38:23+00:00

For those claiming he was resisting arrest, what law did he break? You can't be arrested for resisting arrest because you are resisting arrest. There has to be an underlying charge.

Gotta love the bit where Pig #3 shoves the guy filming to the ground.

It's like an idiotic, backwards game of "why are you hitting yourself?!" where sociopathic POS thugs like these punch other people in the face and then point at the bruises the left and cry and whine about there being a "war against police!"

Racist or feminist? You decide.

BWM. Being while man.

Patriarchy RIGHT????

robinson217 · 2015-10-16T06:54:09+00:00

Not defending these cops, but can we as a society discuss ATM etiquette?

It's not a grocery line. Stand 10 feet back.
When it's your turn, get some cash and go. If you need to do a bunch of transactions and people are in line, go inside and see a teller.
Put the phone down. I'm waiting for you to get done so I can use the ATM. the least you can do is focus on what you are doing and GTFO.

"lets just arrest them until the white people are gone, then release them..........without any reason"

Sexylumberjack · 2015-10-16T02:26:07+00:00

Dude took off running when the cops came to question him, If you run from the cops your gonna have a bad time!

RockFourFour · 2015-10-16T11:59:23+00:00

Damon uppity negroes leering at defenseless white women. What's this world coming too?!?

Funcuz · 2015-10-16T05:17:03+00:00

And the blood does indeed boil.

2015-10-16T06:04:41+00:00

Imagine what hell hole we'd live in if street harassment legislation was a thing.

candyman420 · 2015-10-16T08:36:12+00:00

Mr Goolsby said he was at a Capitol Hill bank at around 6.15pm on Monday thinking about whether he needed to use the ATM

uhh.. yeah

Of the events that have sparked the BLM movement, how many have involved black women? Ought to be the Black Men's Lives Matter movement. Although I wouldnt want to belittle what black women experience because of their race, they arent being hurt and killed and overincarcerated for being black the way black men are.

beernsleep · 2015-10-16T14:05:58+00:00

I felt really bad for him while he was screaming on the ground. That must hurt so fucking bad.

Kozma37 · 2015-10-16T19:52:02+00:00

Look! That man is making that woman feel uncomfortable with his presence. ARREST HIM!

cld8 · 2015-10-16T04:28:44+00:00

Since he's black, this seems to have become a racial issue. It should be #menslivesmatter, not #blacklivesmatter.

speedisavirus · 2015-10-16T03:53:20+00:00

The video doesn't show anything. It shows them after whatever provoked this incident happened. Whatever happened to provoke it, he is resisting arrest which may or may not be an appropriate arrest. We don't know though because the video conveniently starts when he is resisting arrest.

Things like this are why BLM are such a joke. Police were called in for an incident. The call was for someone that may be attempting to mug people at an ATM. Suspect was likely hostile in regards to the accusations whether they were reasonable accusations or not. Police do what they need to do to neutralize the situation. Resisting arrest ensues. This is what police are supposed to do. Its their job. They didn't just walk up to him and start doing this. I would put money on it. You know how you don't get in this position? Don't act like an asshole to cops when they show up responding to a call. If he was calm and polite we wouldn't be seeing this. Its not a matter of race. Its a matter of knowing how to talk to people in a respectful manner.

2015-10-16T18:22:28+00:00

These are the type of cops who can't understand why and how this behavior breeds the hate from their community.

Dude who is on the ground getting arrested for nothing will forever hate cops.

Let's be honest here, that's not how you act towards the police. Shouting and opposing is just not a good strategy, just stay calm and be cooperative, even when they arrest you wrongly.

If black people often act like this towards the police (I don't know if that's true), then I can understand why the rate of police shooting of black people is high.

A policeman is always in a bad situation and could always be attacked. The first priority of anyone, including the police, is to ensure your own safety. If you, as a police officier, let people in a critical situation be in a higher escalation level than yourself, you are in immense danger. That's why you always need to be on a higher escalation level than anyone. If someone pulls out a knive and is in some distance, you pull out your gun. If someone pulls out a knive and is very close or pulls out a gun (or anything that looks like a gun), then you shoot. If someone resists, you arrest him and ask questions later. That's how it works. Lowering the escalation level is only possible, when you outnumber the people around by factor 2-3, and even then only to some degree.

Of course I don't know how he behaved before, how he came into this situation, but that's exactly why we can't decide that this is shocking. Maybe the video of what happend before is shocking and the police behaved unreasonably, but without that info, I just don't know.

People always seem to forget that policemen act like that to protect themselves, which is their right. The police is the authority for good reason.

If you want to stay safe, keep calm, don't move suddenly (it may scare a policeman in some tense situations), keep your hand palms casually visible, show your face, be polite and cooperative.

I know that stuff, because I learned such things in the military service. When we practiced arresting people, we where always much faster and less careful than these cops (and we practiced on each other), because speed is important in these situations. When you are not many people and two of them are busy by arresting one person, the situation gets more critical and dangerous. The safer the situation, the more time you can take for arresting, and the less it will hurt. Unless you try to restist, then it will hurt intentionally until you cooperate.

SigmundFloyd76 · 2015-10-16T11:33:51+00:00

Well i'll say it again. I'm a non-violent person.

However, if that ever happened to me or to someone that belongs to me; unwarranted police brutality, I would wait an extended period and we's be paying mr tough guy cop a visit and introducing him to Mr. Pipe^tm .

We have a citizen police force. That means that we ourselves are the police; not the military. We police ourselves.

Ok I'm ready for some opinions now.

WhatIsTheMaximumLeng · 2015-10-16T09:06:10+00:00

Since its a US story, I think its more the cops' racism as it is their sexism. Maybe both. US cops seem to be mostly psychos...

speedisavirus · 2015-10-16T06:08:41+00:00

well, if they didn't hurt or charge him, they don't seem too far out of bounds.

kellast · 2015-10-16T14:22:52+00:00

Dude sounds like a goose
