Chicago Cop Absolutely Demolishes Cop-Hating Delinquent. Boo Hoo Hoo Ensues
2019-11-30
[ABC7Chicago] (WLS) -- A man was hospitalized after being slammed to the ground by a Chicago police officer Thursday when he allegedly spit on a cop while being detained for drinking alcohol in public.
CPD says the officer involved in the "emergency takedown" will be relieved of police powers, pending a review. Which basically means cops are meant to just wipe the spit from their face and say 'Sorry, Sir!'
A 41-second cellphone video captured the incident and was posted to social media.

Police say two officers approached a 29-year-old man who was drinking alcohol at a bus stop in the Chatham neighborhood. Officers said the man became "irate" and threatened them. After the man licked an officer's face and spit in his eye and mouth, the officer performed an "emergency takedown," according to officials.

The man has been identified by his mother as Bernard Kersh. Keshia Johnson said she fell to her knees after watching the video of her son.

"I was nervous. I was scared. My heart dropped. I know I automatically thought the worst. He wasn't moving," Johnson said.

She said Kersh was on his way back to their home at the time after picking up some alcoholic beverages for the family's Thanksgiving gathering.

"We were waiting to eat Thanksgiving dinner for him because he always blesses the table," Johnson said.
The dear boy, doesn't he spit on the country too ?
Johnson said she was on the phone with her son during the encounter with officers when the call suddenly ended.

"I was at a loss," she said. "I didn't know what happened to him."
Watch and learn, obsequious donut eaters. Start thinking about the uniform, and stop worrying about just your jobs !

#15  Hey, if microaggressions can be used to ultimately justify physical attacks, there should be no problem here.

#13  In this day and age spitting on anyone with bodily fluid is *assault*.
Morale: Do not assault the police. You *will* lose.

#5  I just love the way the back of the head met the kerb. It was poignant, poetic and most of all... properly 'po po'.

A message for hope for police everywhere.
