When Black People Believe in White Supremacy It Makes Them Literally Crazy =Mentacide. From [HERE] Cellphone video of two Black Detroit police officers roughly subduing and arresting a Black man they say physically threatened them and failed to obey orders at a gas station is spreading quickly online.
Many on social media are criticizing how officers Richard Billingslea and Officer Hakeem J. Patterson handled the situation, based on the footage.
The video shows Billingslea follow, and there is some physical contact before Billingslea pulls out his pepper spray and sprays Jackson in the face. Jackson appears to be standing still with his hands down at his side when Billingslea wraps his arm around Jackson's neck and slams him to the ground. During the brutal attack a Black man informs the cops he is recording them with his cell phone. The Black cop responds by pointing to an in store camera and says 'I know Big Time, who gives a fuck about that bitch ass camera?"
Black probot Detroit Police Chief James Craig [in video above] said there is additional gas station surveillance video shows the suspect swinging at the officer; however, he's not releasing it because the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office [also run by a Black probot] is currently reviewing the incident for possible criminal charges against an officer involved.
While the incident occurred in late May, it wasn't submitted until Aug. 18.
Craig said Billingslea was placed restricted desk duty some time in June following an internal investigation.
"Force is only used to overcome resistance," Craig said. "Any time you put hands on an individual we evaluate that."
The pair has been named in two separate federal lawsuits filed in federal court this month. Both involve excessive use of force and unlawful arrest.
The most recent lawsuit naming Billingslea and Patterson was filed Wednesday by D'Marco Craft, the man who recorded the video of the May 31 gas station arrest, and Michaele Jackson, the man whom police took to the ground twice, injured and arrested.
