HENDERSON, Texas — Timothy Michael Randall was on the phone with his mother when a police car pulled up behind his Nissan Altima with its lights flashing. It was just after 12:30 a.m. on Sept. 14, 2022, and Randall was heading to his cousin’s house after a night out.
“He had called to let me know that he was going to be home a few minutes later,” Randall’s mother, Wendy Tippitt, recalled. “So I wouldn’t worry.”
Randall, 29, pulled over and hung up with his mom. Sgt. Shane Iversen of the Rusk County Sheriff’s Office walked up to the Altima and told Randall that he had run a stop sign, police dash camera footage shows. Randall denied doing so, and Iversen ordered him out of the car.
What began as a routine traffic stop, on a country road two hours east of Dallas, quickly spun out of control.

Iversen dug his hands into the front of Randall’s pants and then told him to put his hands behind his back, the dash cam footage shows. Randall kept his arms raised.
“Officer, I don’t have anything on me,” he said.
“Officer, please, can you tell me what I’m under arrest for?” Randall asked moments later.
Iversen didn’t respond. Instead, he wrestled Randall to the pavement.

You are quite obtuse.
BLM hatred and attempts to demonize and weaken the police is mirrored here in a subset of freepers so I refer to them as the FR Chapter of BLM.
There no difference in the irrationality of their hatred toward law enforcement.
That does not mean this specific shooting was merited or fine. That’s not even being addressed in my comments.
It is the lefty irrational emotionality in response to police misconduct that puts them on a par with the blm, Antifa etc… of the world that I am addressing
I don't know what video you were watching, but I saw nothing but cooperation from the victim.
Anyway.
You saw what happened here yesterday huh?
You just completely discredited yourself with your own misjudgement. And then perpetuated that misjudgement with childish behavior.
“You saw what happened here yesterday huh?”
Please don’t bring it up here... Meet me at TA. I started a thread there about it... :)
I meant..what happened in this town.
“ You are dealing with the mentality of a child here crz.”
Yes. And this is the height of maturity:
“I said...
Brave enough to back up your words?”
And I am backing up my words with words and perhaps crzy can use words to explain how his position is not just the mirror image of blm and show how my impression from his prior words are incorrect.
What are you babbling about?
I gotta go up to work in the morn.
Leaving at 3 am.
Oh good, sounds like you scored some trees?
Ya..i was hoping to stay away from that.
But, the run got put on the Mexicans so...i dunno if you get the drift on that.
Its gonna cost him, me going up there.
The local agency will pay. I’m sure they will be sued for failing to properly train their officer.
IOW, the taxpayers will pay.
This stuff ends when the miscreant public servants are held PERSONALLY accountable for their evil deeds.
Just good to see you get some work... :)
First rule of dealing with Law Enforcement: Never forget that they are allowed, even encouraged, to lie about anything and everything.
I got offers to go to CA to salvage burned out timber.
20 years ago i would have been gone.
But, they want me to use my own vehicle. And pay my own way.
That dont work with me anymore. I am done doing favors. They get paid a hell of a price to do salvage work. And i mean a hell of a price per acre.
Its 35 to 45 an hour now for me. And they supply the vehicle and lodging.
The cop needs the electric chair.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
If the account of what happened in this shooting is accurate that cop should have already been tried, found guilty of murder in the first, and paid the ultimate price.
I get it...
And if you do go completely limp they will say you passively resisted.
