out of a kid in my town.Looks like he'll be a multi-millionare,real soon!
His father is one of the most famous attorney/lawyers in S Florida..
The kid ran from Jupiter PD because they stopped him walking at night and "thought they saw a syringe" in the waste band of his pants.
Footage don't look good for JPD at all..
They REALLY wore this kid OUT!!!

The suspect should not have run. The police have a right to use force to protect themselves from suspected criminals who refuse to cooperate. He is lucky the police used restraint, they may thought that syringe was a gun and shot him to defend themselves. Hopefully in the future this person will properly cooperate with the police.
I assume this should be in green.
Here we go again!!! All the GB cops are going to post how the cops were in the right (aren't they always), and the kid deserved to be shot! Cops have become so candy a**ed that they can't take a criminal down without using the MOST force available to them! Hope the kids Dad takes the LEO's to the cleaners!!![:(!][:(!][:(!]
I have seen the dash-cam footage.Kid was down with 3 officers restraining him before the beating began.He may have even been cuffed already,I saw no swinging from the kid,just the officer.The footage was at night and a bit hard to see clearly on TV.
This IS the first one caught on a dash-cam though...
Video looks real bad for the officer in question.
It had to come to light,sooner or later.
The officer in question is notorious in Jupiter.This isn't the first or the 10th person he's beaten.

In that case, a sadistic JBT has been found out,
and hopefully will soon reap what he sowed.

He is sitting in Palm Beach County Jail right now,I do not think bond has been set yet.If it was,I'm sure he'd be out on bond.
quote:WEST PALM BEACH -
For the second time in two months, West Palm Beach is poised to pay tens of thousands of dollars to settle a claim of wrongdoing by a police officer.
On Monday the city commission is scheduled to authorize $140,000 to settle a claim by Palm Beach Gardens resident Keenoen Stafenie, who says a West Palm Beach officer and a Palm Beach County Sheriff's deputy beat him last year after entering his girlfriend's property without probable cause. The item is included in the meeting's consent agenda, a grouping of items expected to be approved together without discussion.
That's the channel 25 news station I just saw it on again tonight.It happened last night.

I swear I saw them show the officer in jail blues on this last update this evening..
From what I saw,the kid was guilty of assaulting the officers fist and asp with his face and head ![B)]
Running away would not really be considered threatening, unless they feared the exercise might cause them harm. Maybe they wanted to waddle home at the end of their shift.

"Blankenship has a history of arrests, run-ins with law enforcement and substance abuse problems" He is charged with fighting the officers. The officers probably used the force necessary to control the suspect and effect the arrest. "Blankenship has been charged with trespassing, battery on an officer, firefighter or EMT, resisting or obstructing an officer without violence and resisting an officer with violence" If he is found guilty he will have time in jail to reflect on his wrongdoing. Perhaps this experience will help him become a law abiding, productive member of the community.
As I posted earlier; BLAH,BLAH,BLAH,BLAH!!!! Cops are not your friend!!
I am your friend, like it or not, so your statement is untrue.
I know you are, as I am your friend also. You are one of the good cops. I might have remained a Deputy if more LEO's were like you![8D]
