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.

Sounds like the old Rodney King or Jimmy Rogers treatment from years ago
Whoever had a hand in the beating should be stipped of their badge and jailed for MURDER .
horrible and disgusting justice should be done
They should be put to DEATH for doing this to this beloved veteran!!!!!!!
This is going to get worse as the police become more and more militarized. I believe they are receiving training from the federal government and are being radicalized. If it keeps getting worse, we may have to start matching force with force. These people are not untouchable. There are many ways by which we can go after them. As Americans, we will not stand for this kind of treatment. We will not be disrespected. The police work for us and we can fire them, one way or another.
that’s California law enforcement bet a verteran to death and get away with murder I would hire these fools to clean a $#%&!@* house

Hopefully, he knew Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior and is with Jesus Christ without pain and misery.
