  1. Listen to the lady she seems to be the guest sister 😂

  2. NEVER call the Police for HELP, especially if you are BLACK !!!!!

  3. Why the lying pig didn't get arrested ?

  4. We're getting tired of the "defense protocol = racism" rhetoric. We can all immediately see why the officers ordered the hotel employee to step away from the first suspect, and why his aggressive expressions led to arrest.

  5. We can't trust any word Police Department say anymore.

  6. Another false arrest of a black man while the white criminal gets a free ride.

  7. Shocking and Florida are two words that do not go in the smae sentence sorry.

  8. when you blm learn you arent welcome in this country , sound like maxine watters, yeah can you dish out it you can take it

  9. COPS ARE ACTUALLY TRAINED TO BE STUPID, RUDE AND IGNORANT!!!

    Cops are all infected with a serious and possibly deadly virus known as "STUPID."

    Some have a more violent reaction to the disease and show their ignorance of the law.

    Most feel, that because they have a badge and a gun that, THEY ARE THE LAW and ALL MUST OBEY.

    STUPID promotes IGNORANCE!!!! You see, they are nothing but cheap tin badges with total IDIOTS pinned to them.

    Another effect of the disease is that they forget that "WE THE PEOPLE" are their employers, not their dogs.

    My advice: RESIST, DEFY and DO NOT COMPLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  10. COMPLETE BS!!

    Hope they FIRE those OFFICERS, reprimand won’t make a difference… any other industry the employees (officers) would have been fired based on their conduct.

    Mr. Rachal was attacked twice that night; I hope he sues!

  11. Fox News would never cover this

  12. Racism .. systemic point blank

  13. YOU DON'T NEED A WITNESS ON HOW IT STARTED, THE ASSAULT, AND THE RIGHT TO DEFEND WAS CLEARLY ON VIDEO!!!

  14. Calling for help while black is illegal in the United States.

  15. Real good training they got in that town.

    “See black man, go after black man…no matter what”

  16. This kind of crap is still happening to African Americans all over the world, yet we're focusing on Will Smith. At least Will apologized and removed himself from the Oscars. The cops just keep on working on the next African American.

  17. "People are People" The Twilight Zone.
    Somewhere in America there is a black police officer pushing/using unnecessary force/arresting/killing a white/Asian or any non-black person. It is not being shown on video.

    Where is black lives matter?
    Oh, that's right. They became millionaires selling wearable merchandise with their slogan on it.
    8 infinity.

  18. This makes me sick to my stomach and also so afraid

  19. This is what Being Black in the most racist nation in the world consists of… especially since the average policeman is a racist as well…

  26. Police are not the good guys.

  27. WOW.Just when I get a glimmer of RESPECT for poo-poo something like this happens.SO RACIST !!! Always arrest the black guy,don't listen or try to get a hold on what exactly happened. If the guy was white they would've done nothing to him,but talk,then manhandle the black perp.

  28. Don’t worry bro, you won’t be working at the hotel anymore – but you’ll own the police department soon. Shameful.

  30. We all know how racist get when there drunk

  31. Imagine if there went surveillance and body cams. This is not the first time.

  32. This right here is a prime example of too many RACIST cops on the force. This liar with a badge needs to be held accountable to the FULLEST. All they do is lie. They have been lying forever. GET THAT LIAR OFF THE STREETS!!!!

  33. Drunk still makes you a racist, being a cop still makes you a racist

  34. In video report/conmentary stated the hotel worker was fired from his job.

  35. Cops lying again to justify there bs.

  36. I'm so sick of lying cops. Why do they get to keep their jobs when you know they can't be trusted.

  37. Nothing new here, standard police playbook of lying and making up fake charges to cover up their bad behavior. I’m just so tired of this crap.

  38. Racism at the department. Friends hiring friends. The department needs to use a 3rd party hiring firm.

  39. BUT BUT BUT…RACISM DOESN'T EXIST IN THE POLICE FORCE…BUT BUT.. STOP CALLING US RACIST🥸.. IT'S HURTS OUR FEELINGS….BBBOOOOHHHOOOOO🥸🤬😡

  40. So obviously he's drunk.. no drunken disorderly charge? Of course there's bias.. there always have been and always will be!

  41. There goes Esau, again.

  42. cop walked up to clerk like typical bully. Get in your face and shove you to get out of his face like you weren't the one standing there first and they got in your face. Power trip.
