Common sense says that when you are surrounded by multiple violent thugs with guns demanding something of you, you don't have much of a choice but to comply.
But let's not get carried away and blame the victim.
I know ( because my parents explained to me) that a law-abiding society is a safe society!
I was always raised to understand that if one is on the side of “ right”, the policeman is your friend. He is there to protect society and individuals from those who would do us harm.
I was taught to treat all my fellow men with dignity and respect regardless of the way they choose to behave.
As my parents would always say, “two wrongs don’t make a right”.
These seem like very basic principles and not difficult to teach one’s children/ grandchildren. But start early.
👏👏👏 Thank you, Brandon! You made this point perfectly! Does racism in policing exist? Yes. But are the vast majority of police officers racist? No. Most police officers are good people who do a great job. Every time the police have an interaction with a black suspect an edited video that doesn’t tell the full story is put on the internet and there is outrage. Luckily, we’re to a point now where one of these incidents doesn’t spark widespread outrage to the point of mass protests and rioting. But there is still some corners of the internet where outrage is expressed. Here’s the thing guys, Anthony McNeil Jr. is NOT a victim! As Brandon explained, he had his tail lights off, wasn’t wearing a seatbelt, was driving with a suspended license, and had drugs in his car.
The police had every right to pull him over. Then he resists arrest and the officers had to use force to arrest him and bring him in. He’s a criminal period. Many of these cases of the police shooting black suspects end up having more information coming out telling you their was more to the story and they were guilty after all. Brianna Taylor for example, wasn’t murdered she was killed by accident and in any case she was drug dealer and hung around with drug dealers. Ahmad Arbery was a serial burglar and shoplifter who was mentally ill and off his medication who’s own mother admitted fearing him. Dante Wright, Andrew Brown Jr. and Adam Toledo we’re all criminals up to no good when the police stopped them. Adam Toledo pulled a gun on the officers who responded. Trayvon Martin an aspiring MMA fighter by the way, attacked George Zimmerman and beat him bloody, Zimmerman was 100% justified in shooting Martin dead in self-defense.
George Floyd didn’t die from Derek Chauvin’s knee being on his neck but from a drug overdose and a bad heart. Jacob Blake who NBA players held a performative strike in solidarity with, broke into the home of his ex-girlfriend whom he’d sexually assaulted whom had a restraining order against him. He kidnapped her children and drove away with them. When the police caught up with him, he led them on a dangerous high speed chase and when they finally stopped him, he pulled a knife on them. Ben Crump is indeed an ambulance chaser and a fraud who nobody should take seriously. This is a great article Brandon that every American black, white or otherwise should read! You are absolutely right, comply and you won’t die. Usually, it’s when someone’s argues and fights with the police that they end up dead. Yes, real police brutality does happen and I’m all for police reform and accountability. But let’s stop acting like all police officers are klansmen in disguise looking to hunt down black people and other people of color.
For goodness sakes this isn’t 1950s Mississippi! This is America in 2025. Abolishing or defunding the police would accomplish nothing and help no one. As we’ve seen in real life, it leads to crime exploding. As to BLM, it has declined significantly since wokeness reached its peak in 2020. No one cares about that clownish group of paid agitators and black nationalists anymore. They were always a giant grift. They’ve never done a thing to help the black community and exploited victims of real police brutality and their families. Here’s a little reading list to learn about the truth on policing in America:

What EXACTLY gives them the right to pull him over? Please, do tell.
Because the only reasonable argument I can think of would be if the driver was/is a voter/constituent who has openly declared his consent to be governed. In that regard it would mean the LEOs were rendering service he demanded.
Otherwise, he was assaulted by violent road pirates.
This is so on the mark. I have a family member who was a cop for over 15 years. He had hundreds of encounters that unfolded badly for the very reasons you describe. He had a reputation for being able to keep situations under control, but eventually it became to much and he resigned because he feared the frustration building inside. He chose to turn in his badge rather than lose his cool on some pathetic loser who has no respect for authority.
Cool you covered the chin punch big bro I didn’t agree with that one fasho, but hey this whole thing could’ve been avoided in the beginning if he would’ve just done what was requested soooooooo hey🥱 Black Fatigue is real!
I honestly dont know how cops show as much restraint as they do. You couldn't pay me enough to deal with these bozos. Mad respect for anyone who does though.
I really dont understand why these ppl think they dont have to comply. Things go much smoother if you do.
I was arrested once. It sucked, I was terrified, but the last thing I would have done is resisted. Just seems like a stupid charge to get added when the end result is going to be jail regardless.
"I really dont understand why these ppl think they dont have to comply."
The simple answer is because they don't.
What gives the people the right to hire a government to hire cops to force everyone into obedience? Nothing. The right to violate simply doesn't exist. It doesn't exist individually, as a group, or by proxy of any other entity.
The question becomes, what does it take to get these people in line? When will that race bait victim mentality be realized for what it is ? Is it as simple as a government that gets back into enforcing laws instead of encouraging lawlessness? We’re not in the 60s anymore. Tell me if I’m wrong, but I believe Black communities want law and order as much as anyone else. Is this more on the parents for teaching little darlings (Black, white, Hispanic, whatever) do what they want because they’ll get away with it. Or is not the parents at all, but the gross incompetence of public schooling which is promoting and teaching so much of the evil nonsense.
Not really. He's not at all reasonable. His logic(or lack therof) is completely inconsistent, counterintuitive to common sense and antithetical to universal morality.
He's just blabbing cop-talk brainwashed nonsense because he doesn't know any better.
Well said, unfortunately there are people that are glued to TikTok and that is their only source of "news". They always seem to believe a short clip of what happened. Somebody close to me will tell me about the "news" they saw, the question I always ask them is where did they get the "news" from and whonare their sources 99% of the time it's from TikTok. I try my best to be nice but most of the time if I know they're always on TikTok I'll tell them "Shut up, where did you hear that from?" it's always TikTok. When they give me that reply I tell them to go do their own research and always suggest Ground News. I love watching your videos and suggest them to people that really need to be in formed. I don't have nor need TikTok. They need to get rid of TikTok. Love your videos keep them up and God bless you and your family, brother.
Why has no one talked about the injustice done to Darrick Chauvin and the other officers that were prosecuted and found guilty? How many people committed perjury in that case and no one has done anything about it! Do I think he was completely innocent? No but those officers should have gotten different sentences when the truth came out! Just because people are afraid of what fixing this injustice might do?
This is total garbage. You used to be better than this, man. I've agreed with a lot you said and done over the years, but on this, no way.
Those cops beat him repeatedly over nothing. He never reached for a knife, he never resisted after he was pulled from the car, and yet you think the use of force was justified? This stop was objectively abusive, and to deny this is you're essentially stating that you're quite happy in allowing such brutality to continue. He was punched repeatedly, while on the ground, hands behind his back. How is that okay?
They pulled him over for not using lights when there was no need to, and to show how little need there was for this stop, when the backup arrived, the police's own cruisers didn't have theirs on either.
You claim to be right, but you couldn't be more wrong. I think you have far too many sycophants telling you how right you are, no matter what you say, you are beginning to believe it yourself. I'm appalled that you are defending this one.
Oh, an appeal to authority, very well. All that says is that the system is just as warped as your terrible analysis on this; it doesn't make you right.
Where in the law does it state that they get to beat the crap out of you over a minor infraction, which was already dubious, to begin with? Perhaps you should heed your own advice and learn the law.
He’s Black and he thinks he is doing his duty as a Black man to rail against the White man’s power structure that is the police. In reality, the Police are Antiwhite, and this is coming from the top down.
No one should lie or exaggerate their experience with the law! You are being recorded. Procedures are set in place to "Protect all parties" involved!
Thank You, Officer Tatum for your wonderful explanation of how we should act: " If You Comply, you won't Die!"
Common sense says that when you are surrounded by multiple violent thugs with guns demanding something of you, you don't have much of a choice but to comply.
But let's not get carried away and blame the victim.
Perfectly said!
I was coming to say the EXACT same words!
I know ( because my parents explained to me) that a law-abiding society is a safe society!

Blind obedience is a virtue?
Pass that here.

This is why I follow/ you bring the receipts
Thank you for the truth 🙏
Right you are, again. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Not really. He's a bit of a brainwashed idiot trying to rationalize justifications for senseless violence, IMO.
Thank you. This needs to be said more and more.

Consequences! This is something that is lacking in our society and within our families.
...and within law enforcement.
As always, you are the voice of reason. I enjoy watching your YouTube and now reading your sub. Thank you!

The State Prosecutors agree with my assessment. Dont get mad at me. Learn the law

Law is evil. Get a moral compass.
