Atlanta, GA — An innocent Atlanta man spent multiple days handcuffed to a hospital bed with a broken leg and a severed artery after an Atlanta cop falsely accused him of stealing a tomato that he actually bought. Tyrone Carnegay spent then spent three days in jail before the charges were finally dropped. The interaction was all caught on a Walmart security camera. “I was chained to my bed in Grady. They said I assaulted him and obstructed him from doing his job,” Carnegay told the local news. The video proves that none of this was true. Carnegay explained to WSB-TV that he was walking out of the store after purchasing his groceries when an off-duty Atlanta cop, working security at the store, walked up to him without warning and began beating him. “He’s giving me a verbal command. As he’s grabbing me, he’s beating me at the same time. ‘Get on ground.’ Beating me at the same time,” Carnegay said. In the video, we can see Carnegay get struck by the raging cop at least seven times before he is unable to walk. “My leg started giving out,” Carnegay said. Carnegay didn’t resist, obstruct, or assault the officer; he merely tried to protect himself against the cop’s unnecessary baton blows. Carnegay said that the officer never asked for the receipt prior to unleashing his ‘robocop’ fury. However, after he laid on the ground in handcuffs, his leg broken in two places, and bleeding internally, the cop reached into his pocket and found the receipt — showing he paid for the tomato.“Somebody could have come up to him and said, ‘Excuse me sir, do you have (a) receipt for that tomato?’ and he would’ve shown him the receipt,” said attorney Craig Jones. “The officer went into Robocop mode and beat the crap out of him.” “He found the receipt and money, and stood there like he hadn’t done nothing,” Carnegay said. According to the lawsuit, filed over the incident which happened in October 2014, the Walmart manager told the officer Carnegay had stolen the tomato just before the beating. Named in the suit are Walmart, the manager, and the cop who doled out the beating. When contacted by WSB-TV, a representative from Walmart said they had not yet been served the lawsuit but said, “We take the matter seriously. We will review the allegations and respond appropriately with the court.” The Atlanta police department has yet to comment on the lawsuit. As for now, Carnegay walks with a limp thanks to the titanium rod in his leg.

So the officer stopped Carnegay and ordered him to the ground. Had he complied, this incident could have been avoided.
This is easy to fix: $25 million award to the plaintiff from Walmart, the cop and the manager. Criminal prosecution and prison time for the cop.
He didn't bother asking if he had a receipt. This "cop" took it upon himself to declare the man guilty of shoplifting, with no evidence, and then proceeded to beat the hell out of him. And in your warped mind - the cop was "just doing his job". I'd bet the guy was amped up on steroids, was bored working at WalMart and decided to "have some fun" by beating an innocent man, breaking his leg in the process. Here's an idea : In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much Why would he? The manager was right there, pointing at the guy, saying he stole merchandise. "This "cop" took it upon himself to declare the man guilty of shoplifting, with no evidence, and then proceeded to beat the hell out of him." Well now, that's lie, isn't it? The MANAGER said he stole merchandise. The cop used his baton because the guy refused his lawful order to get down on the ground. Your meme implies that those who say, "Don't break the law" are copsuckers? What the fuck planet do you live on? How about this? Go ahead and break the law. Be my guest. Just don't come whining and crawling to me afterwards saying the cops were mean to you.
Oh - so it's the manager's fault for the cop beating the INNOCENT shopper? The manager lied. Yeah, I figured you'd find a way to defend the cop. WTF - did either of those two assholes even think to ask for a receipt? Your meme implies that those who say, "Don't break the law" are copsuckers? Apparently you didn't bother reading the whole thing - it implies that cop worshiping scum like you should STFU and stop defending assholes like the cop in this story. What the fuck planet do you live on? Unfortunately, I live in police state Amerika, a place where cops can beat and kill innocent citizens with impunity. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much No, that would be the fault of the shopper for not getting on the ground. "The manager lied." And you're saying the cop should have known that? You're an idiot.
And you're saying the cop should have known that? Good grief - neither one of the two assholes even thought to ask for a receipt. Is this now WalMart policy - to beat a "suspected" shoplifter without some evidence of a crime? Calling you a Nazi would be an insult to real Nazis. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much MW is paid to stick up for anyone in a uniform who commits a crime. He's just doing his job.
As he's walking away? Perhaps they should ask him to stop first. Yes? No? "Is this now WalMart policy - to beat a "suspected" shoplifter without some evidence of a crime?" Are you saying he was beaten because he was a "suspected" shoplifter? You just make this shit up as you go along.
So the cop was arrested and charged with a crime? Or did you make that up?
It doesn't matter to you whether a cop is charged with a crime or not. You'll defend him anyway: But hey, the kids need to be fed, and you're just doing what you need to to put food on the table. If that means being a paid shill, people will understand. I just point out that the level of your defense of crimes committed and injustices dispensed by people in uniform defies any and all reasonable limits.
Your meme implies that those who say, "Don't break the law" are copsuckers? What the fuck planet do you live on? I mean, come on, it's a frickin 99 cent tomato. It wasn't like he was suspected of a double homocide. It wasn't like anyone had any reason to be believe he was armed and dangerous. If a cop ran up to you put of nowhere, would you just automatically drop? I think I would be a bit stunned and wonder what was going on when I knew i hadn't done anything wrong. Why need to bull rush the guy and tell him to get on the ground? Even if he was actually guilty of stealing a 99 cent tomato, this was grossly incompetent overreacting. I don't feel sorry for the guy though. He's going to come out of this as a very rich man. The Wal Mart Manager and the Officer are going to looking for work and filing for bankruptcy protection from the millions they will owe. Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president
Nobody is being paid to come on a forum that probably no more than 100 people even know exists to post anything. Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president
Meaning you made it up.
I don't fault the manager. That's assuming she was not accusing the guy maliciously. If an employee suspects someone is a shoplifter, reporting that to security guards is not a crime or civil offence, even if the suspect is innocent. This is on the guard, and by extension Walmart only if they should have known the cop they hired was prone to violent behaviour.
Was it marked "99 cents" or was it marked "Free"? "If a cop ran up to you put of nowhere, would you just automatically drop?" Huh? Why would I do that? Unless you're leaving something out. Are you?
Nobody is being paid to come on a forum that probably no more than 100 people even know exists to post anything. Look, I'm trying to give MW the benefit of a doubt! If he's NOT paid to post here, then his over the top antics that would seemingly be prepared to defend any cop even for machine gunning a classroom full of kindergartners could only be explained by sheer lunacy.
Reviewing the video, the guard was attempting to stop the shoplifter from leaving the store. The shoplifter refused to comply. I say this is on the shopper.
The video shows no shoplifters attempting to leave the store.
Why aren't you questioning the motives of Deckard who posts anti-cop articles on a daily basis?
Just because he goes over your head doesn't make his comments over the top. You're nowhere near the top.
For Deckard, it's apparent that violence committed by cops is an important and sensitive issue that needs to be brought to the public eye, and that's okay. We all have things that are important to us. You call his articles "anti-cop", but he'd call it "anti-bad-cop". Your disagreement with him, if that's what it is, is simply what constitutes a bad cop. Apparently don't believe bad cops exist, that somehow, anyone who puts on a blue uniform is magically bestowed with the love of Jesus Christ for everyone for all time. By that logic, if we could just start handing out these uniforms to everyone, all crime would simply cease. Given the huge number of cops in the USA, it's inevitable that even with 99% of them being good people and only a small percentage of them being prone to violence and criminal behaviour, there's going to be an awful lot of reports of bad cops hurting innocent people and engaging in excessive violence. So Deckard will doubtless have no shortage of articles to post about those bad cops. If you want to balance the picture, then post stories of good cops, which incidentally Deckard has also done, albeit very rarely compared to the bad cop articles. If you want people to believe that you post honestly -- even if you don't -- then you are simply going to have to admit it when a cop has gone over the top. That you NEVER do that shows either that you are indeed a paid shill, or have some kind of fetish for the blue uniform, neither of which is of any value to the readers of this forum. Credibility is what gives you respect, and your cops-can-do-no-wrong attitude just guts yours completely.
So what will you do if I choose to point out errors and omissions in Deckard's rants instead?
So what will you do if I choose to point out errors and omissions in Deckard's rants instead? I dunno. Maybe read them. Maybe reply to them. Maybe neither. Try it and see.
Same as it ever was.
So this article is "anti-bad-cop"?
He'll call you a copsucker, a paid shill, and say that all you do is defend cops.
What we call a "low bar".
Was it marked "99 cents" or was it marked "Free"? I remember a number of years back, I was buying a jar of olives. I stuck in my jacket pocket out of convenience. I paid for it at the counter when I got there. All of a sudden, a manager and security guard stepped forward and told me to empty my pockets. I showed them there was nothing there, and what I had done. They sheepishly walked away. Why couldn't this have been handled the same way? The officer could have just asked if he had a receipt. Look, I agree the police get a bum rap a lot of times. But, I am getting the impression you think they are infallible. They are are recruited from the human race, you know. I saw what happened in the video. So will the civil jury. This alleged tomato shoplifter will be a millionaire. The manager will just blame it on Wal Mart policy. The officer will just say he was responding to the complaint. Both will be fired (if they haven't been already). This shoplifter will walk away with millions of dollars. Ain't America great. Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president
Who says it wasn't? There was no audio. It looked like the cop tried to stop the guy, and the guy gave him the "Whad I do? I dinn do nuffin'" line of bullshit. Things then escalated. You, on the other hand, cooperated and ended up simply walking away. That's the difference. Just because you know you didn't do anything wrong doesn't give you the license to act like an asshole. Act like one, get treated like one.
He's a sweetie. http://mugshots.com/US-Counties/Georgia/Fulton-County- GA/Tyrone-Carnegay.7100832.html
I've never called anyone a copsucker. You are the only one here I've called a paid shill. I've even seen GrandIsland give an opinion that a cop should be charged with manslaughter. That in response to a legal statement of facts in a case. Not in response to any article, of course, but fair enough. I respect that and though he misrepresents me in stereotypical fashion, perhaps indicative of his past profession, I still respect him for at least giving his honest opinion and at least acknowledging that cops can make mistakes sometimes. But I don't respect you at all.
http://mugshots.com/US-Counties/Georgia/Fulton-County- GA/Tyrone-Carnegay.7100832.html You've already convicted him, eh Roscoe? All are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Published mugshots and/or arrest records are previously published public records of: an arrest, an indictment, a registration, the deprivation of liberty or a detention. The mugshots and/or arrest records published on Mugshots.com are in NO way an indication of guilt and they are NOT evidence that an actual crime has been committed. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much So this article is "anti-bad-cop"? Nah...this is a sterling example of how every cop should act. At least in misterwhite Bizarro World. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much The irony is thick.
He just went up in my estimation.
Now you're just trying to get on my good side.
I'm looking at the same video you are, and I just don't see it that way. I don't think the jury will either. I would say the cop, the manager and Wal mart are fucked. I'll have to just leave it at that. Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president
It took him a while to find his slip and fall lawyer.
If we had "loser pays" (with the lawyer responsible for half the cost if they lose) he'd still be looking.
That does rise to the level of "PC" for a lawful arrest on a shoplifting or larceny call. Once the officer has "PC" to arrest, and the arrestee doesn't comply, it's resisting. We hold court in front of the judge... not at the arrest site or LF forum. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
