Shocking Video Shows Seattle Cop Rolling Bike Over Fallen Breonna Taylor Protester's Head and Neck

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Seattle Police Department is investigating after a video showed one of its cops rolling a bike over the head and neck of a fallen protester at Wednesday night’s Breonna Taylor demonstrations.

Protests erupted in the city in response to officers in Louisville, Kentucky, not being charged for fatally shooting the 26-year-old Black woman. The SPD confirmed in a statement that 13 people were arrested at the Seattle demonstrations and complained that multiple officers had been injured, including one who was struck in the head with a baseball bat.

However, the shocking video, which appears to show an SPD officer rolling his bicycle over the head of an already-injured man, has been widely condemned on social media. The anger led the department to comment: “The Seattle Police Department is aware of a video circulating on the internet that apparently shows an SPD bike officer’s bike rolling over the head of an individual laying in the street. This matter will be referred to the Office of Police Accountability for further investigation.”

The clip originated from a Facebook Live broadcast from CJ Halliburton, who describes himself as an independent journalist; he recorded the unrest in Seattle throughout the night.

7. Two cops stopped their advance to kneel down to help the man after the one ran over

him. What we have to do is convince cops like the two to no longer tolerate the thugs among their ranks.

11. Good luck with that.

They have worked hard to earn my hate.

This rest squarely on their shoulders and on their unions.

It is no longer, if it ever was, one bad apple.

The entire barrel is rotting.

6. Did that one officer get off his bike and rush over to the victim to render aid or finish the job?

It's hard to tell these days which way the police roll (no pun intended).

Hope the victim is okay.

9. Two cops stopped to help the downed man.

What the two cops that did what they were supposed to do should do is go off on the thug and get him fired.

8. Yeah and we're supposed to trust or support these guys?

I don't think so, they are out of control.

ETA: Given recent misunderstandings of my words, I mean the COPS are out of control.

10. No wonder why they flock to Trump

Trump enables their corruption and evil. He needs them for his federal police.
