🚨 North Carolina deputy pepper-sprays truck driver directly in the eyes at close range just for asking if he could enter a courtroom.
39-year-old Don D. Long II went to the Northampton County Courthouse in Jackson and asked a simple question: whether he was allowed inside the courtroom. According to his attorneys, Long was not running, threatening anyone, or causing any disturbance.
That’s when Deputy Gregory Colson sprayed him directly in the face with pepper spray at close range. Long’s legal team says the spray caused permanent eye damage and ongoing vision problems. They’ve now released video of the incident and sent notice that they plan to sue the deputy, the sheriff, and county officials for excessive force.
A man went to a courthouse to handle legal matters and walked out with lasting eye damage after asking one question. Video of the encounter is now public.
How does a simple request to enter a courtroom justify being pepper-sprayed in the face at close range? And what kind of training or oversight allows this kind of force to be used so quickly on someone who wasn’t being aggressive?
Should Deputy Gregory Colson be fired if the video confirms Long was only asking a question, or should officials wait for the full investigation?
normalize giving up on people. no more seeing the best in them, no more excusing their behavior. accept them as they are and reject them. If they wanted to appreciate you, they would have already.
Being rude to me unprovoked really wakes up the menace buried deep inside. Like I choose to live my life on cutie patootie juice but it’s some four loko back here somewhere. Let’s be very clear
White people : “get out our community”
Black people : *finds own community*
White people : “so no whites are allowed in?”
????????????????? MAKE UP YALL FUCKIN MIND 😂😂
