Tommy Yancy, veteran of the Afghan and Iraq wars and father of two, was beaten to death by CHP after they pulled him over for not having a front license plate in Imperial, CA, this past Sunday, Mother’s Day.
A witness to the event claimed he was not resisting arrest at all, but was first attacked by a police K-9, hit with a taser, and then beaten by five officers until he died.
Another witness said that Tommy Yancy was “mad” and “uncooperative” during the traffic stop, but that police went too far in their beating.
A close friend of Yancy described him as “shy, and a comedian” an “excellent dad, who kept in contact with his army buddies every week.” His sister-in-law, Jaqueline Hernandez, described him to as “a very loving guy, loved his kids to death… they were his everything. Very funny down to earth guy, and loved by all”.
I don’t care if this man was belligerent, you don’t kill people for belligerence or even for taking a swing at an officer, especially when there are 5 cops around who can easily subdue him.
The incidence of police brutality in this country is skyrocketing as we see the federal gov’t arming themselves to the teeth, our Constitutional rights stripped and gun control measures being enacted across the country.
The government is conditioning us to ‘absolute domination or suffer the ultimate price’ by hiring these thugs and turning them lose on society.
There is so much rampant police brutality now it almost seems that brutalizing and killing people is part of some initiation process.

time to take all the OBUMMER idiots out of law enforcement, they do not know which way is up.
I noticed the cops think they are above the law ,things have gotten a lot worse since Obama has been in office .That’s why I said we need to get rid of him fast .
they are like legal gang bangers who get away with everything
We haven’t seen anything YET !!! As long as AMERICANS REMAIN sleeping, they will have their way. WAKE UP before they come to YOUR Door.
Explain to me why when and if someone is uncooperative, they just don’t hand cuff them and bring them in. What is this beating these guys get. They come home after being shot out and being in a horrific war and then it takes a bunch of police to beat him to death, at home. Whether he was bad or good, no one deserves to die. Just being stun guns drops someone, what is going on the the men who are there to protect us, or is it getting to be a police state or has American become like the other counties that we live in fear of our police department or public officials causing people to fear for their life’s. What is our government doing to us, shame on our America land of the free..
They will probably get permanent suspension with pay.
sickening of how these cops treat vets…the war is on between the imperial storm troopers, and us vets
Makes me sick how our own country has turned into a battleground for us. This is what happens when you let liberals and democrats have power. If you want to fix it, take the power away from them
Read the police are being armed to fight the vets returning home too HHS you remember Natalino classed them as terrorists. This is just so out of bounds – words cannot express my disgust.
so sad that our cops we used to trust is getting so out of hand, so horrible
