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 cops need to be locked up
$#%&!@*in $#%&!@* bag cops!
This is why I cheer when I hear about people killing cops
Just another training exercise for the revolution that is coming. Sad.
This will continue until we, the people, put a stop to it! Do NOT reelect ANYONE, at any level! We need to start over with a constitutional amendment on term limits.
Cops have a tough job, but they need to get a grip or get out!
a dayton ohio cop pulled me over for no front plate, i was in uniform and had bought the truck in tennessee after iraq. tennessee only has 1 plate, i asked the idiot if he had bothered to read what state the tag was from, a drove off leaving the moron standing there
