‘Terrified by You’: Black Mother Tasered by Officer With Troubled Record
‘Terrified by You’: Black Mother Tasered by Officer With Troubled Record
Lt. Matthew Furman of the Melvindale Police Department in Michigan is the quintessential bad cop; the one we’ve seen hundreds of times
Lt. Matthew Furman of the Melvindale Police Department in Michigan has become the face of the kind of officer many fear—one who uses his authority to target, mistreat, and intimidate Black individuals. Despite being involved in several controversial incidents over the years, Furman has continued to rise through the ranks.
Bodycam footage paints a disturbing picture of Furman as a domineering officer who seems to take satisfaction in tasering and arresting Black citizens even when there’s no clear threat to his safety.
His internal records show a pattern of misconduct. Over the last 12 years, Furman has faced suspensions, termination, lawsuits, and even criminal charges.

Cops are just city/state sponsored gangs, and this is coming from non maga trump voter
You're a fucking moron.
I mean, at least give me valid criticism before you stoop to middle school name calling...
Clearly your head is too far up your ass to hear any criticism if you don't think shipping people to labor camps is a bridge to far. You're probably just a pathetic little troll but ethier way the world will be better without people like you in it.
Woah woah woah, you're clearly putting the cart before the horse and using me as a representative for the Republican party. I'm just a humble homesteader trying to make a living on this rock hurdling through the galaxy, just as you. I frankly don't believe partyism is good for anyone let alone bipartisanship
YOU made yourself a representative of Trump's policies. If you didn't want to be judged for it, make it your deepest, darkest, most shameful secret.
How did I make myself a rep of trumps policies, I don't even like a few, but I disliked Hillary's and Biden's way more, cold turkey the end.
As for making a secret, not about that style, I am done with hiding who I am so people can like me.
Quality Friendships over Quantity of Friendships
so you voted for him twice?
I only regret that there wasn't a better option the second go around
Why would you vote for Trump, if you are not Maga?
"you don't understand Im a reasonable chud"
'im a Nazi but I dont wear the armband'
Ok
I'm more confused by the idea of a admitting trump voter being on Lemmy.
I mean, I'm not saying Lemmy is an isolationist platform that forbids them. But at the same time, it's kind of like going to a house party attended almost exclusively by people who hate you.
I'm just not afraid of bandwagoning and witch hunting, and don't really care enough to join the Fox News, X, and Daily Wire echo chamber
Plus defederated social medias are neato
I'm just not afraid of bandwagoning and witch hunting
Clearly you vote for it.
Got disillusioned in 2017/18 when I realized nothing was happening and voting trump the second time because it was better than the alternative. And I like to keep and grow my gun collection
And I like to keep and grow my gun collection
So you voted for the guy who wants to take them away illegally?
I mean, there's no winning on that front. One guy is up front about making me a criminal, the other uses subversion and bate and switch.
"Hello fellow children"
I guess, idk what the avg age on Lemmy is
Economics and Gun Policy, a but of buyers remorse as of late but I can't change it now so I going to just bide my time and grit my teeth until next election, like I will do with all upcoming elections.
There's not going to be a next election at this rate.
You voted for fascism.
Ok
How's that "economics" thing working out for ya?
Pretty good, my chickens are making bank
