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.

Execution by Cop..Happens everyday.
I guess cops forgot that they can bleed too. One more email to send.
This has become a NORM for police departments across the nation….seeing a police are now sparks tension and fear not a feeling of safety and respect
that was not right to do —my condolences to the family, why is this happening —–we need to make changes
Cops in Liberal states ARE $#%&!@*S. DOUCHE BAGS. And California tops ’em all. Brown, governor – figures!
Full punishment of the law (that the swore to uphold) now applies to them
It is shameful that this nation has become a lawless out of control police state under the Obama regime, and this is all part of the lawless Obama government It has escalated to epidemic proportions under Obama, and his military armed cops, It started with cops routinely turning up at the wrong address and shooting people’s pets for ‘fun’, when all the police agencies found they could close ranks and get away with it, they allowed some cops to start killing people, with no more accountability than when they murdered the dogs! Is it any wonder that very few shed a tear when they hear a cop has been killed? More and more people know someone who has been illegally brutalized or murdered by runaway cops who now think they can do anything and get away with it! This young man obviously thought he was in the United States, a country he went to war to defend, unfortunately, he didn’t realize his country was transformed into the Obamaland police state while he was away in service to the United States! My condolences to his family, and R.I.P. SOLDIER!
what horror.
Something wrong here – even if “mad”and “uncooperative”, this does not justify the beating and ultimately killing!
what is wrong with police these days??
