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.

The US people better start holding these Officers accountable through out the Country NOW because it’s only going to get worse. The Police are the new Storm Troopers of the world, as they were in Germany in the 1930’s. Obummers has followed Hitler’s foot steps through out his Time in OFFICE.
So just to be clear…Are you saying that Obama is behind white law enforcement officers using excessive force on people of color and abusing their authorities? Is he also responsible for the recent bringing down the commercial air craft near Russia? Is he also the master mind behind the current conflict in the middle east? How is it possible for so many right wing fanatics whom view him as a weak leader, promote Mr. Obama abilities lead or take control over so much? The end absolutely does not justify the means and your statement/comment render your opinion at best ridiculous. Although I agree with you that people whom have sworn to serve and protect should be held at a much higher level when they clearly abuse the power in which the people has given them. If Obama is behind all the false claims that are orchestrated, according to people of your ilk…Then maybe we should elect a 3 term maximum for our Presidents / Commanders and Chiefs and afford its’ citizens a standing president whom kept this country safe from tyranny, corruption and falling into the crippled mindset of greed from those in the past. Mr. Obama would hands down clearly win the presidential election for a third term…
EACH OFFICER NEEDS TO DIE THE SAME WAY
