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.

You don’t do this to one our Hero’s. And yes anybody who goes to war to protect our country is a hero..
All five need to be prosecuted!
all five needs to be put to death !!!!!! they are some dirty ass cops which is common today in the usa !!!
they need to be fkn hanged.
ditto Clay but is this not what Obama wants the police to attack our vets yes it is and citizens
I think the 5 should be beaten to death for their crime. I certainly hope they are fired and never allowed to work in law enforcement or for the state ever again!
I agree with Barbara Pierson … double ditto!
Time for a civil war!!!!
turn a few k-9 dogs loose on those “cops” and then beat them within an inch of their lives and ship them to Mexico to be jailed.
You are absolutely right there was no call for any beating at all he could be subdued and arrested and charged, but now those same officers are going to be looking over their shoulders as a veteran will step up and there shall be payment to that family the city of Los Angels will be sued!!!!
