Tyron McAlpin was arrested by officers Benjamin Harris and Kyle Sue on Aug. 19 and is charged with two counts of aggravated assault and one count of resisting arrest, all felonies.
This story is insane to me, I dont know how these cops haven’t been arrested.
They get called to a crime scene with the caller saying that a white man was being aggressive. They got there, asked the first white dude they saw what was going on, and then the white dude just pointed at a black dude and said the black guy stole his phone.
Despite the call literally being about an aggressive white dude, these cops immediately chase after this black guy, pull up and start yelling at him, tackle him and then start punching him within like 10 seconds of getting out of their truck.
Did not confirm any suspicions, didn’t even talk to the black guy for one moment, and then afterwards they blow off his wife and never seem to think “jeez it’s weird this guy who just stole a phone is using it to FaceTime someone while leisurely walking down the street”.
This is so bad it has to be intentional malice. I just don’t understand how a country can call itself land of the free and then have police do shit like this with no consequences.
The man was literally deaf, any normal sane person would have figured that out quickly.
Remember this is Maricopa county. That’s where Joe Arpaio was for years with his tent city incarceration in the desert and forcing inmates to wear pink underwear as if that was somehow embarrassing.
He may be gone, but most of the actual deputies would be the same. It’s not like the various city police departments were much different across the valley.
Haven’t you heard. Any black person is one finger pointed at them away from a beating or death. And don’t get me started on the number of handicapped people police kill every year. Being blackand deft? In America it was a matter of when, not if. I can’t describe to individuals what it’s like to be black in America. Every time a cop goes past you it could be your last day on alive. Regardless of the situation cops and the justice system sees you as a threat. You live your life in fear and they know it. That’s part of the reason or modern justice system was created. To ensure black people can only get so far unless they work in entertainment or politics the glass ceiling is still unbroken.
They haven’t been arrested because cops are above the law. They could have executed him and they’d just get a paid vacation and a promotion in the next county over.
