Thin Blue Line only applies to white male cops🤷♀️
yep was a former black officer couldn’t even join the fop
It's not a Blue Line it's a White Line that's why this black cop wasn't being protected or got justice afterwards.
Lesson learned.
EXACTLY!
So, these suckers get to go free?? Because if the stories were turned around and it was a white undercover and black cops beat him these "confused jurors" would've convicted him! Wow, I think a race war is coming.....it's definitely coming.
You don't have to be black to be outraged by this, and events like it.
it's called *"KARMA"* for the UNDERCOVER DETECTIVE *ACAB*
Of course not. I furious and I'm very white.
Thank you and God bless you for seeing the truth.
When police break the law and the justice system dont serve justice there is no law just the fight for survival....get them before they get you and those court houses have to be flushed like a toilet to nothing but trash running those buildings to
Nah, just seems like blacks are the primary citizens being affected...
What makes this case even sadder is that Detective Luther Hall had a WHITE partner who was working undercover at another protest a few blocks away. He too was arrested. But he was arrested by BLACK officers. And he was NOT beat up or mistreated. As Childish Gambino says "This is America."
James Brown Living in America!!
Wow,so sad.I want to know while they were beating him did he break his cover or, maintain it.I couldn't sleep at night if I had done something like this.
The Hate is Real. Bad cops and policy have turned them into a violent occupying Army .
Oh my gosh what hope is there if a cop can't even get justice
NONE!
They did......
There's always hope. Don't give up. Please.
@@blowgibbs8518 hmm. Well, the Bible says that vengeance is the Lord's, so if they deserve something more, no doubt, they'll get it. I don't know if those officers are Christians, but if they are, the Bible also says what we bind on earth is bound in heaven. So, if we can't find justice here on earth, no worries. We still work for it, pray for it, vote for it, because our job here is to do justice and love mercy for all people, unlike what those bullies did. God will make this good, one way or another.
Maybe now the black officers will realize your black skin shines through the blue line
It’s becoming harder and harder to believe that cops don’t have a racial bias.
It's not hard to believe you just believe are you don't.
They have been taught to have racial bias. No need to deny it, it's true unfortunately.
It is what it is .
@Light of Paradise I think the first time it really hit me was when I got pulled over for looking suspicious when I was trying to find a parking spot at my apartment complex, it was considered to be the nicer one on our school campus.
Truly!!!
He lied to the F.B. I. then recanted that he was sorry for beating Luther Hall, they texted about the beating
Pah! - That's just 'words'
NO, NO, NO. An undercover cop is beaten by police during a protest and no guilty verdicts??? On one of their own??? The poor guy had to get metal plates in his neck!
He's black and they are white, they see him as less then.
All white jury...
Oh my god
He should file a multimillion dollar lawsuit against the city. The civil standard of proof is lower. He’ll retire on his settlement. He needs to move as far away from St. Louis as he can because he’s now a target of the police, ironically.🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
I love how the only beating that is being viewed as wrongful was the one where an officer got hurt... Land of the free indeed.
And they are still going to walk.
I used to think "Just Us" was one word.
I guess you are to young to remember Rodney king.
All across this great Nation of ours...Police departments will be vetting existing officers...examining social media...they will be taking an Inventory, if you will, of their officers in hopes of identifying the so called, bad apples. Anti government and Racist militia's have targeted police forces to entrench their (racist and anti gov people) in positions of authority, by design. They must be rooted out...The fact that 90% + found, will be
Republican Sociopaths...is the exact reason (Republican's) are fighting this nationwide review. Won't stop it from happening...but they are going to whine and cry the whole way. These 3 are some of the 1st to be put under the microscope. Social media accounts are being scrubbed as we speak in hopes of remaining hidden. Republican Sociopaths have a common problem...they can't keep their mouths shut. Perfect example...Rioters will most all be convicted by evidence they themselves, provided to prosecutors. This cleansing will take considerable time...and most will just be allowed to retire or (extremely quietly) terminated. Teachers will also undergo the this same scrutiny, as we have already seen. Fact checking their Alternate reality in real time...exposing every distortion is already starting to have an effect. If they choose to believe the distortion...At least (this time) they will know why it's a distortion, before making their decision to believe it. Then it's entirely on them. Tucker's every dog whistle message to all the militia's they support, exposed. And why. Putin is almost single handedly responsible for everything that is happening (not just here) but in all prominent Democracies of the world. Putin (and Russia) are the first to exploit the immense power of the internet for political gain. Still in control of Senate Republican's...Putin still remains an existential threat, and must be dealt with at some point. 29 civil lawsuits have been filed against trump...many more expected...New York charges focus more on his money than his freedom...not to say he couldn't receive time, but the focus will be more on the money. On the other hand Georgia wants him in Prison...and has a pretty air tight case against him. Stay safe everyone.
Its not wrongful. They got off!!
What a travesty of justice! Wishing major karmic retribution to the police officers as well as everyone who complied - either directly or through silence. What a disgusting world we live in.
70 million 😈 out there
This is what white supremacy looks like.
I wonder if they can still be charged federally.
This verdict sounds unbelievably bad unless I’m missing something.
This is white America where people says racism doesn't exist.
@@chicagopdtransparency6146 the not guilty verdicts can't. It would be double jeopardy.
He thought he was "part of the club" as a police officer. The other cops just saw another black guy. WTF wrong American policing?
Where are you from so i can review your countries police. Case our news only publicizes the bad. Did you know our cops have 15x more of a chance of being killed by a civilian than us civilians have of being killed by them.
@@concentratecorner1744 Cleveland, Ohio. I'm all too aware of the police mentality here. The "better to be judged by 12 twelve then carried by 6" thinking and thin blue line that allows bad cops stay on the job.
The same thing that's been wrong with it. American policing was founded on racism. What has changed??
@@concentratecorner1744 l think you lost on this one...
@@TheSycaman He is just a Bootlickers.
"Jury of your peers"? The lie detector test determined THAT is a lie.
Even with a confession no charges. Fear is all i have for my three sons.
FEAR.....????
DONT YOU DARE.......TEACH YOUR SONS TO TAKE UP ARMS AGAINST TYRANNY.....EDUCATE THEM TO HANDLE SITUATIONS APPROPRIATELY......AND MOST IMPORTANTLY OF ALL, WE MUST SPREAD THE WORD THAT BLACK AND WHITE NEED TO UNITE......WE NEED TO REFORM POLICY, PROCEDURE, AND PRACTICES.....
24/7 , REAL-TIME SURVEILLANCE WILL INSURE EQUAL PROTECTION FOR ALL WHO COMMIT CRIME AND VICTIMS OF CRIME.....CRIME WILL EVENTUALLY, LITERALLY BE NON-EXISTENT TO ALL BUT A FEW HACKERS AND MASTERMINDS, WHO CAN FIND A FEW LOOPHOLES IN THE ELECTRONIC SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM BEING PUT IN PLACE.......THIS WILL BE OUR NEW POLICING FORMAT BEING LAYED OUT AS WE SPEAK.....IN FACT, IT HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR PAST FEW YEARS, BUILDING INFRASTRUCTURE AND POSITIONING OF ALL OF THE SATELLITES AND 5G TOWERS......THERE WILL NOT BE A POLICE COMING TO YOUR DOOR...IT WILL BE THE NEW DARPA, ROBOTIC POLICE DOG, WHICH NEWYORK ALREADY HAS PATROLING CENTRAL PARK......AS WELL AS DRONES......BE READY FOR A NEW WORLD ORDER AS WE HAVE NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE.
@@johnappleby2182 yes unite & police ourselves bcus as people without the type of power they give officers are capable of policing knowing right from wrong & not over punishing especially a certain group. We are morally competent enough to do so.
It's an illusion. Confessions and hard evidence like video matter not. It's about the message. This country cannot send a message that white men are wrong for punishing black men. It's that simple. The facts don't matter. It's about principle.
@@johnappleby2182 You might be able to take up arms against a small band or possibly a militia. But whose back will the courts have if any incident were to occur? Don't fool yourself. It's about principle. The technology has changed, but we're still in the 19th century in some regards. The people in power are the problem. Racists seek power in the system. They seek the positions. We need those positions filled by just people.
@@lisahall7487 BECAUSE THESE EVIL MEN GET OFF ON POWER OVER PEOPLE, THEY WILL NEVER ALLOW IT.....AND WE CANT HIDE, ESCAPE AND DEFINITELY CANT FIGHT AGAINST TANKS, BOMBS, JETS AND MISSLES.........BUT, WHAT WILL YHROW THE BIGGEST WRENCH IN THE MIX, IS IF WE PUT ALL OUR DIFFERENCES TO THE SIDE FOR ONE SINGLE CAUSE......FREEDOM FOR THE PEOPLE.......ENDING INCARCERATION OF AMERICA, JUSTICE FOR SOME AND NOT FOR MOST OTHERS , ........EQUALITY IS NOT HARD....ITS THE SAME THINGS FOR ALL, NO MATTER WHAT......PEOPLES KINDNESS WILL INSURE NO ONE GOES WITHOUT, WE ALL HAVE THE SAME GOALS IN LIFE, NO MATTER WHO OR WHAT WE ARE......WE ARE ALL PEOPLE, WANTING TO EAT, LIVE, BREATHE, BE CREATIVE AND SPEAK OUR MINDS, WITH FREEDOMS TO DO AS WE WILL, WITHOUT CAUSING HARM TO SELF OR OTHERS........ITS REALLY NOT HARD.....
BUT, UNLESS BLACK AND WHITE DO IT TOGETHER, WE ALL WILL FALL.
Keep in mind, one of his assailants co-operated with prosecutors and told all. Admitted to everything, beating, coverup, context of text messages, all that. And STILL, these thugs got off. Now THAT person is going to do time, and lost their job. The rest got paid vacations, maybe back pay, and no doubt will get a promotion. Patting each other on the back probably as I speak. And the victim will no longer work on the force. He will be labeled a rat by his "brothers in arms", and is likely suffering life long physical and psychological trauma. What message does this send to the next cop? Do your dirt, keep your mouth shut, and you will no doubt get off. DISGUSTING.
So frustrating!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mr. Luther Hall deserves better!
"Mr Luther Hall", got his "N-word" wake up call; "volunteering" to be used, as a tool of oppression, against his own people. However, I hope he is now "enlightened" & wish him the best.
Nah, he's watched them do it every day to others. He never handed them in then either. He does serve as a sore reminder that even when a black person gets onto the force, he's very much a 2nd class copper no matter how devoted he may be to the blue-line, they will NEVER treat him as an equal.
This is horrible.
No Justice No Peace ✊🏿✊🏽✊🏻✊
No justice no peace equals burn your neighborhood down and tear your city up and attack innocent people..
@@kidbehindthewheel9025 that only happens when people who looks like u on the scene. Watch the video every property damage was faces like yours. As long as faces like u not on the scene it won't be any burning or attacking.
@@lisahall7487 Thats a lie. I’m in Philly and im black. I watched my people along with other ethnic groups tear our community up like it was nothing. So stop.
@@_Dennis2Society215 it probably was a few were there any faces from the neighborhood u recognized? My point is stop making it as tho it's just black folks bcus from all the videos & interviews from people from those communities said that the people who were destroying things weren't people they ever saw. Like I stated & majority were white folks & some others but none where the communities effected by the injustice so u stop it.
@@lisahall7487 well I'm going to tell you the way it is.. you burn down your city you can burn down your neighborhood but you come at me sideways I will be using my second amendment rights.. how about that!
Guess he beat himself up?
Exactly! Makes no sense!
Look! He stabbed himself in the back.
yep. figures. welcome to the USA.
Welcome to St Louis-- the most racist city IN America.
What cess pool was tapped to seat this jury.
Wrong all the way around. We need accountability for these heinous actions.
Exactly.
*_"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."_*
~~ John F. Kennedy
Lol even when it's their fellow officer, they still walk.
When weighing the outcomes of these cases... think about color of victim and color of perpetrators and you can guess with almost 100% certainty what the result will be
Wrong skin color
Sad even a black officer can’t get justice against racism
i was a former black cop falsely arrested then was the only officer ever housed around the inmates. couldn’t even go to trial. put your trust in God not these courts or system
So we are paying them to bully, lie, and beat us.
Nope, paying them to protect you from people. Rob a business someone will just shoot you. Attack someone on the street they will just shoot you. Have something showing of value they will stab ya or shoot ya. Leave ya for the birds too. They protect you more than you could possibly imagine. Be thankful the next time you see one, because if you ever stop seeing them things are going to be really bloody.
Law enforcement now acts as an occupying force with we the people as the enemy.
If he was "working undercover" as a police officer, and it was his co-workers that abused him, shouldn't he be able to file formal workplace complaints? Isn't he protected from workplace violence?
Nope. Well let me explain. I am sure he can find a lawyer that will be happy to race bait for publicity, but they will lose too.
@@MrBurns-tf4if Race bait. Troll 🗑
All police work is about being violent
@@MrBurns-tf4if There was a white undercover doing the same thing Luther Hall was doing that day, but they left him alone…go figure. That’s why we need to start demanding all black juries in half these cases!
Hey, I'm White & I wouldn't live in St.Louis!!
Absolutely disgraceful!!
"Hall later required multiple procedures to close a hole in his lip, and injuries to his jaw prevented him from eating solid food for weeks, leading to him losing more than 20 pounds. He later underwent spinal surgery, though he says he still lives with chronic pain and other medical conditions from damage to his internal organs which include a lacerated liver".
30 million please...
$0 he is a sold out to his people
Meanwhile...that post-beating photo will be
quietly shared among officers as their newest
inside joke.
So officers are charged for beating the guy, which they actually did, but they get cleared from beating the guy, whether a cop or protester 😠😠👹👹👹
The police can beat another officer and it's ok.
ruclips.net/video/E0Xe22w1edI/видео.html
But if the police beat a dog like that they'd be in jail. Facts.
and one of the officers doing the beating plead guilty and testified and named the other officers doing the beating! and they still get acquitted ! white jury is something else
@@neilburnside398 crazy how that works isn't it?
It seems to be that case.
The jury was all-white. That the judge and prosecutor let that happen is outrageous.
But quite common.
Exactly!!!! The same ole Amerikkka!!!!
You have a right to a juror of your peers... Enough said
@@karlsoderback6677 you don't know what the term means? It simply means a jury that reflects the citizenry. St. Louis is approx 45% black and 45% white.
They are not even held accountable when they beat one of there own.
No accountability means NO accountability.
US Justice has become a sad and pathetic joke
It’s really crazy when they can beat up another cop and still get off with no charges. I’m pretty sure that one guy that pleaded guilty didn’t beat that guy up by himself.
So the undercover police officer word is no good in court?
Because he's Black. That's part of what the Blue Line means. It's racist and sexists. As for citizens? Our law enforcement acts like an occupying force with we the people as enemy.
This is disgusting and horrible
Even a black cop cannot get justice. Smh 🤦♀️. Damn.
Why am I not surprised
I'm not saying rioting is appropriate, but maybe "very fine people" like the ones that showed up in Washington DC on Jan 6th should pop up in Saint Louis.
Why, they dont care about them remember. Those were white supremacists, remember? Those racist trump supports would never condescend to that level.
Are we surprised???
Unfortunately no!
Not in the least, the Floyd case is a keg of dynamite, they better get that one right we all saw that video and there's no denying that one
@Hello Hello some of those that work forces...
@@MyName-pl7zn this was the closest chance they had to get it right and they didn't. Justice will never be served. If they were gonna get a conviction this would've been it.
I don't count the Botham trial because she didn't get nearly the time she deserved and she had to be charged with something. There was absolutely no justification and would set a very dangerous precedent.
I'm embarrassed to be a former cop.
You hate police what you mean you was a cop. Did you mean snitch.
Only if you help oppress the oppressed/get your lick back r give back for fcking over ur own n still end up being called a nigg anyway supposed to got in then helped not hurt FOOL
Another cop tells what happened. The beaten cop tells what happened. And yet the jury can't determine what happened.
I don't understand. St. Louis, you're better than this. You should have convicted at least the leader of the assault. How could they not convict. This is nuts. Detective, I am so sorry.
Luther needs to bring a civil suit. money isn't justice, but it lessens the "sting"
sue them personally.
I agree. I hope he fights this. I don't understand how they were even deemed not guilty.
Pay for my pain!
Make them pay for our pain because we all got hurt by this injustice!
I’d file a 100 million dollar lawsuit against the city and the individual police and bankrupt all of them.🤬🤬🤬🤬
We know now that it's rigged from the top to the bottom.
No Justice, No Peace.
This sounds like a Criminal Mafia in that Department.
You sound like one of those big, beautiful smooth brainers. The world is round, here's your receipt.
Damn, St Louis not even TRYING to pretend that it's not a blatantly racist city.
💯😂
Of course THEY don't pay for their crimes , WE do .
He thought he was one of them. Guess again.
How can you find a person "not guilty" of the charge when there is possible destruction of evidence. Why would a defendant who was innocent destroy evidence?!
If you read up, it wasn't "possible" destruction of evidence. It was definitive destruction of evidence.
St louis is corrupt. The courts, attorneys, judges, their friends, police, prosecutors...and I am a white female social worker who was their colleague.
That’s why when a cop get a slug in the head I’m like oh well
Me to i don't give a D**m
Christopher Dorner a real American hero and Patriot need more like him walking around this country
Maybe that’ll teach Luther and give him a reality check he won’t forget going forward. Thought u were part of something noble.. tuns out you were spying on the wrong crowd
Time for the federal government to chaege them with federal crimes.
I believe the federal government is working with them so that will not have they are just are corrupt. Korte lied to FBI and case was dismissed.
What a disgrace
Those juries are despicable. To let those thugs get away with assaulting this guy who was a cop too
What's even MORE disgusting is that those thugs lied to the FBI... admitting to lying to cover their despicable butts
This is WHY people are DONE and are fighting back
And I don't blame them one bit
" Luther Hall You Need To Expose Everything That's Going On In That Department ... Everything " .
The more things change, the more they stay the same, people need to understand that this is what happens when you deal with the police, even when you catch them on video lying and breaking the law their selves they are still going to walk free with no charges. understand and be prepared
The DOJ need to take the cas under the civil rights division!
Think it’s time to relax laws on assaulting officers? I mean, if cops can get away with it.
Get rid of the immunity clause, and public sector unions.
Say that again
So we paying our tax dollars. For people to beat us and harm us. And only for them not to be brought to justice.
From what I can tell from this event, the whole criminal justice system is corrupt from the inside out, top to bottom, back to front and all around. The citizens who are facing this system are apparently doomed before they even start.
According to the lawyer in this case you can say what you want, claim it’s out of context, hide your actions, and be innocent. Got it!
And that is how u stack the juries.
Was it an alright, I mean all white jury?
Of course it was come on now
Chris Dorner was so right. Bless that man's soul. He tried to warn us all and they executed him for it.
Dorner was a true hero.
You’re praising Dorner??? His first victims were Asian and Black.
@@MrRolyat98 they were the family of his lawyer who he felt put the interests of the LAPD above Dorner's interests. Their race wasn't a factor. Had his lawyer been Indian then his first victims would most likely be Indian.
I don't agree with him killing civilians or family of people he feels slighted him, but I do agree with his wider goal which was to expose the culture of law enforcement. And the police proved him right by shooting two women distributing newspapers who they mistook to be Dorner's vehicle and in a separate incident shooting another man for the same reason. What happened to those officers? Oh right, nothing.
Don't get me wrong, Christopher Dorner should be in jail right now for shooting everyone he shot. But instead the police played judge, jury, and executioner which Dorner knew is what would happen because he pretty much outlined in his manifesto that was the culture of the police. So once again they proved him right even in death.
So, these are the type cases that should be automatically investigated by the DOJ!!! The prosecutor knew what charges to apply to each officer, which would acquit him!! Prosecutors are only “SUITED COPS!”
Yea because our doj is fair and impartial and cares only about truth and justice and not money and keeping jail full
Can Luther Hall sue these officers, including the two officers who pled guilty?
I didn't even hear about this but this happens so frequently it's extremely hard to keep up.
Wow. How incredibly disgusting. How can they justify not guilty
Not guilty of beating a man for no reason. He was undercover. It must be a better way of policing
A mistrial can be retried
Nice...
and! What will be the outcome "not guilty"! we good it was an appropiate. Real Justice will soon be delivered. All mighty men of the past has fallen. I can only empatize for White People for it will come and not from us. "AGDS"
Convict the precinct!!! And have the family sue the living #@&%* out of the department and the city. The city will pay through the nose when they try to get another insurance policy.
Go after their pensions
Post pics of their families online
WHAT! They beat an undercover cop for no reason. Still no justice. Wow.
I'm sick of people acting like JURORS COME FROM MARS. These jurors are our neighbors, co-workers, family members, friends, local business owners. But, when black people say our lives matter; many act like we're saying this for no reason. This black cop life didn't matter no more than any other black life. Smh
Get rid of jurors
UNBELIEVABLE!
There just fueling the fire for summer😑😑😑😑welp,its been nice knowing you all
It's all these jurors freeing these biggot offendors.
You are not kidding there. Can we opt out of this summer?
Who do did you think would win..it's white vs black in st louis....st louie has a major history of racism
The cops did there jobs. That why they was not guilty. The cops did the crime and the jurors cleaned up the case. Ppl need to hold the jurors accountable
God still sits on the throne!
Amen!
Justice delayed to some ethereal heaven, is justice denied on earth
And that’s the only place he sits........obviously! Because HE HAS NOT INTERVENED!!! Gee I wonder why??? Could it be because he actually doesn’t exist???
How can they be not guilty?! Un effing believable.
I think we should substitute the word "Change" for "Stop", as the system _changes_ which individual is unlawfully getting beat up, ect. almost every time.
No surprises here.
What a surprise. They can be no trust without accountability
That is a lesson for all of us black folk... This law ain't ever gonna work for us...
Such BS
Wow, so the detective attacked himself. You just got to love St. Louis
Other words most of everything was covered up for what they did!
This is a miscarriage of justice
According to the court, "A black man with a badge is still a black man."
Those devils are getting away with too much. Karma will come back on each and everyone of them.
If juries keep letting this kind of stuff go it's giving the police a green light to do whatever they want !
Maybe someday you or a family member will pay the price for this kind of injustice.
From Ireland, Boy the US really has a serious problem with Policing!!!!
Dude should take matters into his own hands and deal with them personally.
Let the fBI take care of this situation the government can’t do there job we need to change a different judge or they really wanna see a riot
Not at all surprised
The system isn't broken. It's working just the way it was intended.🤬
'Vengeance is mine said the Lord, I will repay.' They will receive Devine justice.
Stop it with that nonsense!!!!
This was Scripted as always never found doing wrong even if on camera
