In Columbia, Mississippi, Officer Rodney Yates was caught on video brutally punching a 65-year-old man during a traffic stop over an expired inspection sticker. As it turns out, this wasn’t the first time he starred in a viral video. Nor was it the second. This is his third recent viral video. I have the footage. The community is outraged and they started a petition demanding that the officer be fired.

Only in America!!,… This is insane that this cop is not in jail now. You hire psychopaths, give them 90 days training, a badge and gun and pretty much say, "Have at it officer, have fun, make us some money…", because this system has turned into a business over being a pre-paid lawfully required service to protect and serve and they make kick backs from 3rd party industries by throwing innocent people in jail and lying under oath.
A taser is only supposed to be used against a direct threat. They're not supposed to be used as a tool to get compliance.
The person using the taser has no way of knowing if the person they're using it on has a heart condition. It's absolutely reckless and abhorrent behaviour. To use it on a person that isn't presenting a threat, is absolute blatant assault and battery.
Im from Mississippi and I can confirm that Mississippi cop's are corrupt. I served time on multiple occasions for not breaking the law
Antichrist system destroys wisdom
Does anyone still believe in this BS of “Stop Resisting”?
Thank you and those that have video of the corruption across this country…for sharing it with the rest of the People,so the truth is revealed about the true enemies of the people are….
Clearly we can't trust any part of the justice system….
James freeman has videos posted on his channel about defending yourself against LEO. There are several cases where lethal force has been justified. This is a PERFECT example
What a coward. Without that badge and firearm, you're soft. Like a lady.
They are gangs with badges
Don't worry guys, after a 2 week paid "administrative leave" aka "vacation" he's gonna transfer to the next county over and do it again. Be happy you can't do anything against it.
I've been pulled over in columbia ms. A bunch of times.
Those cops are cowards
These are the people Trump wants to give immunity to😢
Those cops are thugs
This feral pig is HORRIBLE. The bone I have to pick is on numerous occasions when this EXACT scenario is occurring and the driver is black….the frequent comment is to "just comply." The feral pigs will do this to anyone. It's the disgusting mentality that they believe in. So, if you are a "just comply" prophet, then apply your logic evenly across all skin tones or open your eyes to the TRUTH of police brutality. American policing is truly AWFUL.
He's fortunate He's not black..
Oh man. If i was in that passenger seat, the pew pew would fly
how come they never petition to have the cops arrested and charged? why just fire them after they assault?
Cops be copping.
I am not surprised by this.
What really surprising is that, we the public, tolerate this behavior as these people are seemingly immune from any form of accountability.
Can’t figure out how to find and sign petition
The number one problem with the 'law' enforcement in the USA is that most, if not all the police in America have been trained by the IDF to use the most brutal tactics possible on people. They have been trained to use the same level of physical force on a woman, child, elderly or disabled person as they would use on a stronger healthy male.
If the police back him "He followed policy" then the policy needs to be rewritten. Select a date, from that date onward these types of arrests should require unpaid suspension until the conclusion of an independent investigation before a panel of 5 independent criminal lawyers (selected by ballot) not controlled by the state. This would mean investigations would be swift and justice served, as the Prosecutors department is proven over many many years that they will run with the charges brought by the police no questions asked.
Land of the free and home of the brave right? 🙂
The chief and mayer need investigation and in court
Every time citizens win judgements against Blue Line Cartel, Blue Line Cartel sees this as a threat to their power and authority and double down on their contempt and assault on citizens.
F.T.P. get this guy fired seems to be getting his rocks off by beating people.
The most pathetic and helpless society of any developed country in the world. They can't create a normal police force and government for decades.
"THIN-BLUE-LINE" GANG VIOLENCE.
this shit wont stop until u guys start defending yourselves.
So "Still wondering why vast majority of all Americans hate, despise, disrespect, and wish harm too all Cops in America " ??
Is it not possible to colect multiple cases to put this man behind bars? Or is a unform a lawsuit-proof armor?
Assulting a 65 year old man is an automatic felony.
It is natural instinct to protect yourself when you are being beaten on by a bigger person. But the cops want you to put your hands behind your back WHILE THEY ARE HITTING YOU. Why are we funding people who are under no obligation to protect us, only themselves, and we have to protect ourselves and our rights when they come around?
That's what makes America great again right
So "American Cops see all American citizens as someone they get to beat , kill and satisfy their personal need and desire to inflict pain, injure and kill anything that walks" ???
This is what happens when you let hall monitors become cops.
Police are criminals because they use the law to break the law
Disclose officer addresses and they wont act this way.
Don't imagine this in the Europe
I won't comment because YouTube usually deletes my comments on videos like this. We need to start electing local politicians that will replace these officers and their managers.
One big problem is that it is likely a smaller town south of the Mason Dixon. Policing gets way more backwoods and old school the farther south you go. This career path is also attractive to a more racist group of white men that probably have a family history of plantation owning and overseeing slaves . So a job like this attracts guys like the cop we see here. And smaller towns seem to have very little oversight, making it very easy for cops to get away with just about anything.
It's ok he will get money and you money-hungry cowards allow this to continue. Pathetically hilarious cowards get exactly whay you deserve for not exercising your 2a rights that cover this explicitly
Cops favorite words stop resisting
People have to get it into their heads that the minute you have an interaction with the police, switch on your cameras and film the entire interaction, thats so important. It doesn't matter whether the cops are wearing body cams.
THEY ALWAYS WANT US TO DONATE MONEY. LOL
Cops want us to lay down and let them beat on us and call it resisting when your reaction to getting beat is to defend yourself, not put your hands behind your back so you can't defend yourself…it's a normal reaction…cops seem to get more and more aggressive into making people get out of their cars for no rreason. It's not for their safety, it's a power play because they can and that Pennsylvania vs Mimms needs to be challenged because cops take advantage of this using excessive force when they aren't in fear for their lives, they just want to make people do what they say at all costs.
