Officers attacks innocent senior war veteran. Wrong guy due to zero investigation work by a terrible officer.

​Officers with the Sulphur Police Department in Louisiana responded to a disturbance call at American Legion Post 179. The dispatch alleged that a man in a purple shirt was acting aggressively and hitting people inside.

​When officers arrived, they immediately fixated on Johnny, the local American Legion Post Commander, who was standing in the middle of the room. Johnny complied with orders to step outside, entirely unaware that the officers thought he was the suspect.

​Once outside, things escalated in a matter of seconds:

​Johnny immediately tried to explain that they had the wrong man and that he was the Post Commander running the building.

​Rather than verifying his identity or listening to the crowd, Captain Jordan drew his pepper spray.

​Before Johnny could even process the conflicting commands to "step back" and "put your hands behind your back," Captain Jordan deployed the chemical spray directly into his face.

​Captain Jordan then knocked him down with what he described as a Spartan kick to place Johnny in handcuffs.

​While Johnny was on the ground, his frantic wife and several horrified bystanders rushed out to scream the truth: YOU HAVE THE WRONG MAN.

​The actual individual who had caused the disturbance—an autistic young man who had suffered a severe behavioral meltdown—was still sitting quietly at a table inside.

Johnny hadn't been attacking anyone; he was actively acting in his official capacity as commander to manage the building and keep the situation calm until help arrived.

Instead of admitting a massive error, Captain Jordan doubled down on his actions, claiming Johnny was "non-compliant" and aggressive for not instantly moving backward while simultaneously being told to put his hands behind his back.

​The Sulphur Police Department ran an internal investigation and cleared Captain Jordan of any wrongdoing. However, the City of Sulphur quietly cut a check, paying out an undisclosed settlement to Johnny to avoid a devastating civil rights lawsuit.

​But the final slap in the face to Johnny and the veterans at Post 179? Unbelievably, even after the city settled for the incident, the police department turned around and named Captain Jordan "Officer of the Year."

​A textbook example of a department circling the wagons, rewriting the narrative, and rewarding bad policing.

These are the types of stories that give the police a bad name in the communities.

Medea Benjamin has that very specific witch look that we used to train our children to view as being a sign of deep evil in a person. We’ve forgotten the old ways, we have to go back

@Boydesian I am at a loss...
Never knew this was an option.
I live near VA Beach so when someone says Jet during a phone call you just put everything on hold for a couple of minutes.

@PuseckerJ Only the aggressors are allowed to cary weapons.

@SvenTystnad That was hard.
And 2 of the choices were not even on the table.

[Thee Smelvis @BlueelvisEric]

@Oilfield_Rando That is because we are the ones that will have to pay for any damage.

[Thee Smelvis @BlueelvisEric]

@DillowTalk2 How sad.
