Being A Lyft Passenger While Black |
|
Posted by JayZeeBMT on Sun Sep 13 07:23:06 2020 Cops pull a Lyft car over for broken tail light, demand passenger produce ID. Passenger refuses, says he wasn't driving and had committed no crime. Police beat, arrest him for contempt of cop.My understanding is that Georgia law doesn't require you to show ID if you aren't driving a car, loitering, or suspected of a crime. How did this man end up in jail for being a passenger in a Lyft with his kids? He wasn't the subject of the car stop. |

If they have a report of a suspect fleeing in a similar vehicle they can demand ID. He is still alive unlike possibly the two cops fighting for their lives in California, but you don’t give a damn about that. |

IF they have such a report, they should explain that to the person being asked for ID. There is no indication in the video that any such report was involved. |

Ain't about the race, liar.Lawyers identified the man Saturday as Roderick Walker and said he’s currently in jail on two counts of battery and two counts of obstruction. …You were just hoping nobody would actually read the article, were you not? |

My understanding is that Georgia law doesn't require you to show ID if you aren't driving a car, loitering, or suspected of a crime.You are never required to show ID as a passenger and I wouldn't have done so in this instance either. |

Which begs the question, why did the cops haul him out of the car and beat him up? I agree Roderick was perfectly within his rights to refuse the cops' demands.I believe he was beaten because the cops felt their authority was being challenged. |

It's in the OP link and does NOT show Walker biting anyone.The video DOES show, however, Walker being punched in the face several times while being held down by two other cops. |

I haven't watched the video to see what may have escalated things from there and wouldn't want to speculate. But I do know that cops can get very upset when you lawfully decline to comply with their requests. And aside from that, there could be all kinds of other biases held by the cops that ultimately lead to a physical confrontation. Also, cops aren't the only people with biases. We all have biases.The thing that I keep coming back to is that this type of thing is nothing new. There's video so people that didn't believe that it happened just 10 years ago, now believe it happens. But putting that aside, it happens far less now than 50, 25, or even 10 years ago. |

Well you certainly don't seem to ever make a post or comment about people hurt that don;t fit your narrative.

One deputy yells out “he’s biting my hand” as the two deputies continue to hold Walker on the groundWhich means any alleged biting was not the reason they are holding him on the ground, and so doesn't justify it. |

A few years ago a white guy was beaten to death by the police in Fullerton and there was audio, but no video. That was big local news even as the outraged conservatives on local radio (John and Ken) continued to say that police brutality against black people was fiction. |

From what I've read, I don't think that the guy in this instance was even suspected of a crime.Not following instructions puts cops on alert, especially when it's a black man. I can see where the cops may have unnecessarily escalated this based on his refusing to comply with an unlawful demand. |

Claiming you were "bitten" doesn't make it true. Note that the article makes no mention of said deputy being taken to the ER for treatment of a human bite wound, nor does the police statement make any reference to such an injury. |
