on nj.com, the State Police announced for the first time that two troopers involved in the incident used unreasonable force."

It took the police three years before they made the admission, and they did so only because of the existence and discovery of the second police video which had been in the possession of the police.

An eyewitness in a nearby home said in a sworn deposition that she watched from her window as two troopers, later identified as Wambold and Trooper Keith Juckett, then dragged a limp, handcuffed Bayliss toward a parked patrol car and rammed his head against a tire.

Three years later and the involved cops are still on the job.

of this perspective bullshit. He LOOKED like he was moving to resist. Humans have reflexes. If you twitch they call it an act of resistance. The cops have used that bullshit for wayyyyyyyyyyyyy tooo long. Enough already. But, New Jersey's fucking fat assed governor can run around insulting people at will. If anyone twitches they'll pounce on them to protect him too. Whatever. Justice is just is.

call the media, write Congress, make noise, and engage in peaceful protests.

How well has that worked for us so far in our fight against police brutality?
