Bodycam footage has been released showing the arrest of Devon Whitmire by police in Asheville, North Carolina on May 17th. Officers initially took Whitmire into custody on a warrant for communicating violent threats to his family. However, the situation escalated when Whitmire allegedly assaulted the cops during the arrest, resulting in additional charges being filed against him.
The bodycam video depicts officers struggling with Whitmire as they attempt to detain him. Punches appear to be thrown and a physical altercation ensues between Whitmire and the police on the scene. In response to the incident shown in the footage, the Asheville Police Department charged Whitmire with multiple counts of assault on law enforcement officers. The release of the bodycam video footage came after a judge’s order making it public record, stemming from community outrage over a bystander’s video clip of part of the arrest circulating online. The Law&Crime Network’s Sierra Gillespie breaks down the controversial arrest.

Ommymama
When you have people supporting criminals, this crap will never end…..
just deport him
Hey, when you have a History of violence…I do not blame the officers for being proactive!! This guy is so bad his own momma calls on him!!
smiggity smashville!
Bunch of ghetto garbage
Wakandas carry that victimcard likes there's tomorrow and still act like criminal hoes.
The random strangers who walked up… can't blame them for misunderstanding what was happening – from an evolutionary standpoint, they're a few millenia behind the rest of us. They just aren't very bright. Almost makes you wonder why so many of them are in prison. 🤣
The female officer should have stepped back and let the officers who actually have the strength to handle the arrest do so. The female office could go over and handle the ratchet mouthed girlfriend. Female officers are a hindrance rather than a help in these exact situations.
Single motherhood is a cancer. This is the product they produce.
Disgusting culture 🤮
Why are these repeat offenders get released so often
how many times does he need to be arrested and charged till it’s proven he belongs in an institution. 24X isn’t enough??
so he's hand cuff on the ground for 10 minutes 3 cops search him for 5 minutes and can't find a gun
I'd never make it as a police officer with garbage like this.And of course the media can't tell the truth. Thanks to lawyers, judges and liberals this is what our society has become.
Beg for police action then complain about police. Smh
Crowd and news outlet all make up bs
A culture of ignorance and criminal activity. Passed from generation to generation.
he didn't do notttttin LOL
Oh come on! Now he's the victim. I suppose he wants a foot massage after this?
His parents failed him but still at some point, you have to start acting like an adult and stop blaming the world and get rid of the sense of entitlement.
I'm well confused Devin? Kevin ? Wtaf ?
