Police Brutality at the Seminole Hard Rock Casino - Tampa, Florida - 11-19-2009
This police officer had no official reason to stop me. I was convicted 3-23-2010 of resisting arrest without violence by 5 white jurors and 1 black juror.
I'm curious how you got this video. I only had one altercation with the
police at the Hard Rock of Tampa in my years of going there. I was arrested
for trespassing because they put me in a cab and I got out of the cab to go
to my car. I hired an attorney to fight the charge. My attorney subpoenaed
the video of the incident and they refused to release it and then the
charges were later dropped. They didn't want to release it because they
knew they were in the wrong after reviewing it and I never seen the
security guy in there again.
I'm guessing they released the video to you because it shows you being
guilty.
how did you get them to release the security video...something similar
happen to me this past st patty day i got sent to the hospital with split
forehead..4 stitches and i have no feeling in my left hand..ya i was drunk
and talking shit but in no way resisting..i wanted to know why i was
getting arrested and they charged me with resist officer-obstruct wo
violence...and slammed me to the cement...i used to respect cops even after
my last BS arrest for disorderly..no more man such BS, got an atto
I do have to say that the actions of the police officer were to standard.
From the video, which is only identified by body language and actions
taken, there is no telling what was said. With that, if this video was
shown to the jury which I'm assuming it was, would've been consitant with a
conviction of resisiting. Even if you did nothing wrong, or you may have
been mistaken with someone else, your actions in this video are completely
inappropriate, and it is apparent. Resisting, Not Brutality.
Yes you do have to show idea, plus this particular casino is on Native
American land which means it is a sovereign nation with its own police
force. Technically they could stop him and tell him to leave if he was
walking around with a bad attitude that they didn't much care for and he
would have to oblige. Whatever the case, security doesn't call the cops
unless someone needs to be arrested. Usually for trespassing, or a type of
assault. Otherwise security deals with it. Most of the time.
Poor baby. And I DO mean baby. Little do you realize that 1) You're not on
the street. You're on private property which gives the management or any of
its agents the authority to remove you for any reason. 2) You were being
surveilled by about 2500 cameras, so you were not being stopped for "no
official reason." They don't need one. 3) the person who stopped you is a
trained Police Officer and not some plastic badge security guard. Your
chance of winning an argument with him are about nil.
We can only hope that your dumb ass dies in 5 seconds, even though we all
know that it is absolute horse poo poo, along with "damaging your heart".
You wanted to fight with the officer and he manhandled you and you are a
massive pussy and freaked out over being choked with one hand, and then
fought 3 other officers. You sir, are a piece of shit. And we can also only
hope that you cannot procreate. You are a tax on society. We dont need your
piece of shit children tainting the gene pool.
Responding to abcdefghi9573, I have written to US Attorney Mr. Eric Holder
twice. I have yet to get a response. I have written to Florida Attorney
General Bill McCollum and he said this is not his problem. I have
personally talked to State Attorney Mark Ober. He is the one that made
absolutely sure that I was convicted of something and he succeeded. I
believe since I am filing charges against corrupt Judges in Lawton OK and
conspiracy to commit murder against Senator McCaskill Missouri
The problem is that the race card is pulled in hundreds of situations just
like this and in some towns and places cops and security have to give
minorities "extra special treatment" to avoid lawsuits. I couldnt care less
who is what color or race. But when do we say...thats it"we dont want to
hear your stories anymore, your racial woes, slavery issues from 200 yrs
ago and just be responsible for who you are. So...what are all of us going
to do about this? It hurts every race of people.
This isn't police brutality, it's you resisting. If the police stop and ask
for your ID and you have done nothing wrong, then why not just show them.
Maybe they thought you were someone else? He was attempting to talk and you
just walked away. He has every right to question you and confirm who you
are. You mention a $20 theft charge? What's up with that? Maybe you are
guilty and didn't want to get caught? Just search "police brutality" and
you will see that your vid didn't show this.
the people that is defending the cop can go and suck on a big dick ..
Police is bad believe it or not .. they are the organized crime ... I can
totally understand what are you feeling .. I have to do a letter of apology
to a fucking police officer that almost kill me .. im really frustrated ..
WHERE IS THE FUCKING JUSTICE!!!! the system is worse than any mafia believe
it or not ! .. and if you are not agree with me is cause it never happened
to you .. so don't even try to school me
IAmMooNStaR845, to my caucasoid brother, first of all I am Native American
and I usually do not respond to ignorant cowards that act like their
ancestors, instead of hiding behind white sheets you hide behind an email
address. The only Americans are Indian Americans. You are occupiers of our
land. You gave me a good idea, I will sue and give the money to charity.
I,m said to say that I have one organ surely from my European for fathers
that you might like in your mouth.
That was far from choking, it looked like you were still mouthing off like
a wanna be thug for the 2 seconds he had his hand on your neck. You
resisted arrest and you got what you deserved. Be a man. "The police
officer that choked me and put me in the hosiptal and damaged my heart
beyond 50%. After two days in the hospital having to take 14 medications at
a cost of $600 per month. Possibly not able to have childern anymore and
could die at any moment" GIVE ME A BREAK!
To paramedicmxr, I have no room for racisim this is why this Country will
collapse because of caucasoids like you. First of all I am married to a
caucasian and have a beautiful blue eyed daughter. The officer was wrong
and I will prove it. My mistake is that I could have whooped his ass if I
chose to and still can with a bad heart. I have 2 handsome sons, one which
has completed 2 tours in Iraq and this is the things that you so called
Americans spew out towards us.
@Paramedicmxr Tainting the gene pool? Are you one of those inbred
hillbillies who think sleeping with your own sister and having children
together is the only way to preserve your gene pool? Are you a member of
the Ku Klux Klowns? According to the crap you wrote you're confessing that
you are. You better go and give that roach-infested, single-wide trailer
home a good cleaning before your kin folks show up for your Uncle Bubba and
Cousin Lulumae's engagement party.
But didn't u see him talking WHILE TRYING TO LEAVE and what did the office
do KEPT PUTTING HIS ARM UP ON THE COUNTER AND NOT LETTING HIM LEAVE. He
wanted an altercation with the man. He was looking for backup to take down
the guy. The officer was starting trouble because he knew the man was
already wild up. He should have walked behind him and let him leave the
place. That officer wanted to take him down and show who was boss that's
all it was. NO LESS NO MORE
when u turn around acting like ur about to hit the cop what do expect him
to do? just stand there? hes gunna protect himself, as far as police
brutality goes, i see nothing wrong with what the cops did, they were
trying to arrest u and u resisted. and cops dont just stop random people in
casinos, they obviously had a reason. and way to pull the race card and say
u were convicted because the jury was white, not because u broke the law or
anything.
you should have stopped to show him your license. BUT, i strongly disagree
with the officer's actions. And all you fucktards saying "it wasn't that
bad of a choke" or "stop being a pussy".... Id like to see how you would
react to another man grabbing your throat, firmly or not. This man reacted
naturally. Why the officer thought he had the right to restrain him like
that is beyond me. This LEO give cops a bad name. ( I love cops, btw)
sorry but it kinda looks like you were asking for what you got. when you
act like no matter what, your right and they're wrong they are going to
forcefully make you believe them. excessive force on their part- yes. easy
for you to have complied right away and proved your innocence - yeah and it
wouldn't have cost you so much. glad to hear you may not be able to
reproduce, no need for an idiot like you to make a little copy of himself
i commend you for not resisting violently. but i want to point out at one
point in the video you did forcibly remove the officer's hand from your
throat. while that may have been a self defense act completely validated by
your mind, if someone wanted to be nit-picky that was assaulting an officer
and everything that happened there after was completely justified. not
saying what happened was right. its just my take on the situation.
How is this police brutality, why couldn't you simply stop and talk calmly
and reason with the police officer, it is very clear in the camera how
disrespectful u were to this officer who was just trying to enforce the
law, I know that there are a lot of bad cops out there but this is not that
case my friend! Let me ask u a question: would u like to live in a world
without police enforcement?
No police brutality in this video, seems to me that the man did not know
how to keeps his attitude and hands to himself. Didn't see a choke either,
the officer merely putting his hand on his throat to hold him momentarily
is not a choke. Then he obviously escalates the situation himself resulting
numerous officers getting involved. Just like the song says' You gotta know
when to fold em"
To paramedicmxr I am far from a coward, this is why racisim endures in this
Country because you are not proud enough to show your face. Be proud to be
a racist if thats what you are, don't hide behind emails. If you have time
to wish bad things on people then I feel sorry for you. I wish nothing bad
on anyone, I have a wonderful life and I am not afraid to die. Best wishes
to you.
So the original complaint? You loose your cash ata table, so you grab it
and start walking off.... You are being detained, lawfully, and you can see
your agitated and giving the officer a rash of crap in your "evidence"
video... Dude, your lucky they didn't taser you... I would have if you
would have done it in our county in a heartbeat the minute you took that
stance!
