‘I can’t die like this’: Video shows trans man beaten by LA County Sheriff's deputy during stop
The incident in Whittier is the latest in a string of controversial force incidents involving Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies.
You're viewing a single thread.
For those that would bother to read the article, the ‘victim’ flipped off the cop while driving. Sure, maybe the cop is an angry asshole, but the excessive force is just as likely to come from being flipped off as the cop seeing a transgender person.

Flipping off a cop is perfectly legal. The person you hate because and only because he's trans is a victim of police brutality.
but the excessive force is just as likely to come from being flipped off
The excessive force is because a pig was abusing his little piggy authority.
Imagine thinking that almost beating someone to death is a rational, normal consequence of flipping someone off. I couldn’t.
I'm sure some conservative will be along in a few minutes to insist that the beating was just a joke.
Beating? You mean aggressive tickling? God, the liberals are so soft these days /s
back in my day the police murdered us for not working, or not working enough, or working too much, or wanting to work, for relaxing, not relaxing, relaxing too much, not relaxing enough, sleeping, not sleeping, sleeping too much, not sleeping enough and walking around existing and we liked it that way
ACAB always and forever.
Fuck cops, and fuck you for victim blaming. He has a constitutional right to flip off any cop, any time he wants for any reason, per the Supreme Court.
Fuck you too. Dumbass performs an act of aggression and is surprised when the favor is returned. Cop or not, that’s fucking stupid.

Pigs are trained professionals. If they cannot control their little piggy feelings, they should seek less porcine employment.
Perhaps. Still, you really wanna fuck with the guy with the gun? That’s incredibly foolish.
If a cop just acts like some random "guy with a gun" who might shoot you at the slightest provocation they probably shouldn't have a gun.
Or be a cop.
An honest cop should be keeping a close eye on that guy.I don’t disagree. It’s just also stupid to assume that the cop you flip off WON’T flip out. For all the “all cops are bad” messaging that’s going around, you’d think one would want to play it safe. Two things can be true at once: the cop absolutely escalated this beyond what was called for, and the victim was stupid to instigate anything in the first place.
If someone flipped me off in public, the worst that would happen is I flip him off back. Why should a cop be any different?
You can't sympathize and victim blame at the same time.
Wow, text book cognitive dissonance.
I want that pig to lose his job and go to jail. You're just happy that he beat a trans person.
You seriously think flipping a person off is an act of aggression worthy of being beaten?
Like those are the two things being equated by you. That somehow a person who raises a middle finger at distance from another person might expect to be followed and beaten, that those two things make sense in this context.
It's that really how you think, or did someone trigger you in the comments and this is your version of being personally butthurt?
Didn’t say the reaction was equal to the action. Just saying that you shouldn’t be surprised when you FAFO.
That is not how any police should react.
ACAB
And upstanding school teachers probably shouldn’t be driving around flipping off cops. Everyone is an asshole.
So you're saying those uppity folk need to know their place.
You're a real piece of shit, you know that?
🖕🏻🖕🏿🖕🏽
lol you think it’s justifiable to get your ass beat for flipping someone off huh?
This guy trollin
Keep licking those boots! 🖕
🖕🏽
The middle finger is a visual that frighted, scared, meager police would see as a threat. Hence their would also see their response in beating.. as penance for doing something they don't like.
Tldr: fearfully weak cops care about only themselves.
Problem is, when you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Cops are constantly letting their spurs jingle-jangle and if they cannot start exhibiting some self-control, they will lose their most prized possession, their guns.
Wait so you think a hand gesture justifies violence?
No quotes around victim there buddy
