Not much shocks me. But, yeah, that was a really disturbing sight.

They said that it is a practice often used for anyone but there was no reason why they couldn't have waited for a pick up vehicle. Only someone of utter ignorance couldn't look at that and realise its connotations.

That’s what I was thinking...it’s as if they have one brain cell between them

We have immediately changed the policy to prevent the use of this technique

So why was it still in place until today

Take out the offender being black for a sec, this practice is actually entirely legal. That’s what shocks me. But the USA judiciary is full of such disproportionate custodial treatment e.g. everyone is made to look like a criminal before a judge regardless of whether it’s a parking fine or murder, children are shackled etc. In other words, had the offender been white then this might not have been challenged! It’s completely unacceptable by our standards either way but then we’ve always been more civilised than our colonial cousins.

We talk about Islamic countries being thousands of years behind us, I think the USA is still a couple of hundred.

Probably working!
”The officers were taking Mr Neely to a police staging area. Police clarified that he was not tied with the rope, but "was handcuffed and a line was clipped to the handcuffs".

Oh, okay yeah, well that’s alright then, carry on!

The cops must have been playing too much Red Dead Redemption.

The biggest surprise to me is that anyone is surprised this type of thing goes on. The guy in charge is a racist and so are a percentage of the people who vote for him :shrug:

Trumpo the Clown has about as much chance of making America great again as the Albion have of doing a league and FA Cup double.

American police officers just seem to do whatever on earth they want and get no repercussions for it.
