THAT DARN REPORTER HAS THIS ALL WRONG!!! The driver was pulled over and hand NOTHING wrong with his license! This guy was the passenger and he asked for his ID as well and beat the passenger. The passenger didn't even have to give him his ID!!! GET IT RIGHT!!!

It is no big deal, nutt will just go to a suburb a couple of miles over and get a raise in salary.

Sorry i dont see unnecessary force. I see the criminal suffering from incarceratis. What if he just got in the car?

Is Nutt just meant to be a martyr to make it seem as if the Antioch police arent corrupt? That is why they will keep bringing up this story.

Why do the police in Amerikkka refuse to improve their behavior when it comes to dealing with the public?

Body camera footage, auditors, cctv, etc... and they still refuse

Qualified Immunity has to be reminded completely and a more robust Citizens Review Board with legal enforcement powers has to be supported

Why do they waltaround showing their underwear 😂😂😂😂

That was enough force to warrant criminal charges? I wonder what they expect cops to do when they have a suspect way bigger than them refusing to co-operate, keep asking nicely? Give him a juice box and a time out?

This was last year and the guy was already fired. Who cares anymore, why bring this story up
