Officials blamed “agitators” after tensions erupted between authorities and demonstrators, but video showed Pohorence yelling at protesters who were kneeling around him just before the event escalated, the station reported.
After Pohorence, who is white, pushed the 19-year-old woman, who is Black, a second officer who is also Black could be seen pushing Pohorence away from the protester. Fort Lauderdale Police Chief Rick Maglione commended the second officer, Krystle Smith, saying she did “what you are supposed to do.” “When you see either adrenaline or emotion or some kind of interaction going south ... that is our job” to intervene, Maglione said, according to the station.
The protester’s mother, Danielle Casey, told NBC Miami that her daughter had gone to the demonstration because she “felt that her voice needed to be heard.”The incident was one of
I'm sure he thinks he's a real tough guy. His police union and lawyer will try and prove that a kneeling woman with her hands up is a threat that warrants violence against her.
A woman with her hands up & kneeling on the ground is more cause for alarm to the police than a White Supremacist brandishing a semi-automatic weapon. This Country is so screwed up
They should check his domestic violence record.
Oh that's it!! Let's charge this guy with 'pushing someone over' while everyone else is burning down businesses, threatening folks at their homes, looting, shooting, raping and God knows what else. But we'll let them go because they have been so abused. Ok. I get it now...😏
This is me not giving a fk at this point
RandyNBCLA It’s a good start
I remember that. It was totally uncalled for and he immediately got a tongue lashing from what I believe was a supervising officer.
Please start a Go-Fund-Me for the Police Officer -- I'll donate
Good. With a conviction his next job will be riding a Segway through the mall chasing skateboarders
Coward.
I can’t wait until you all get your wish of “no police.” You’ll be crying in your basements like Biden.
Lock his ass UNDER a jail cell and throw away the key. DEFUNDPOLICEEVERYWHERE
But will he get convicted tho
but its OK to spit, throw bricks, insult them? when YOU are in trouble or danger who comes to rescue you? yes the ones YOU spit
good
Insurrectionaries should not merely be pushed—they should be imprisoned and re-educated, Chinese style. That should do it.
This is why they protest
FTP
Good. Little boy masquerading as a man.
EVERYONE that has POWER over PEOPLE needs to get' reevaluated and trained 'better and bring to JUSTICE, to the ones that COMMITs INJUSTICE ACTs.
they'll tell you hes charged with battery to shut you morons up for a bit but ultimately, nothing will come of it. plus, if there is chaos, im not giving one side a pass on acting irrational and not afford the same to the other side. thats called privilege.
The reason they call them pigs is because they act like animals.
Probably not appropriate but certainly not a criminal charge. Charges will never stick!
The officer was in the right.....His battery charge will be dismissed at some point.
Trash news....Gods wrath is coming.... its going to be Biblical... Popcorn?
I love it. keep arresting these bastards that take advantage of the badge.
Good more cops should shove idiots laying in the streets refusing to move.
If I was a sheriff in Florida I would hire him in a New York second to be my deputy ! That officer is a good cop and did his duty moving a violent mob of Neo-Communists that is overthrowing the Republic of the United States.
Cool now report on all the murdered children and teens— report on the CHOP MURDERS!!! 16 yo!!
Does that mean he gets pelted with batteries?
A black female officer pushed him in his place.
Because he can
Cool. Now arrest the cops who killed Breonna Taylor.
Sorry, video not clear, but you will ruin his life, and destroy law and order.
Good.
Another pig
Imagine what he hasn't been caught doing?
The video missed the 3 minutes before they caught that snippet. But it don’t matter as mind people gonna get hurt the more they want to play strong arm Sam. PoliceLivesMatter
gwenda44 Good ACAB
MGC3I At least they weren’t shot and killed in gold blood!! Like they are doing to our police officers!
Stop proving your FAKE NEWS!
Good cop !
Good. Enough brutality.
NBC IS THE TRUE VIRUS DEM HACKS IGNORE THUGS AND BLM TERRORISTS VIOLENCE VOTE BLUE THIS WILL BE YOUR LIFE
You would have to be crazy to sign up to be a police officer today. Imagine the crime rates in poor neighborhoods if recruiting comes up short.
Thats okay. Its ft lauderdale
Keep that same energy in the county jail, Steve.
Good
Grade school bullies grow up to be cops. They got older, but now use a badge to bully others.
Good!! He should be charged
All cops quit now. Lets teach these racist BLM thugs what life is like without rule of law.
🖕🏿blm
Crime in NYC
He should be fired.
You about yo lose yo job!!
I really would like to see a non-partisan federal investigation unit to go over all the police cam footage in all the states to identify all the rule breakers. Pretty sure this guy had committed other offenses in the past that were on record but either deleted or waiting to be.
Good.
That dude is why qualified immunity needs to overhauled. He's a fucking loose cannon.
Good that there is a battery charge.
Fake News and get all the facts!
I'm tired the protests! I'm tired the protests! I'm tired the protests! I'm tired the protests! I'm tired the protests! I'm tired the protests!
“After the criminal proceedings finish, an administrative investigation will determine if he violated departmental policies, Maglione said.” So, it’s possible for a police officer to commit a crime but not violate PD policy? Is it a matter of whether he gets convicted or...
Anyone keeping count how many cops have been sent to the hospital by “peaceful protesters”?
Fuck charged, we want convicted
good! we need to get the criminals out of the police force.
But if she were to destroy his patrol car, she'd be a hero...
