Once Cops Realized Who this Man Was, they Turned Dashcams Off and Savagely Attacked Him

“What are you going to tell me next, ‘you can’t breathe?'”

George Roberts is a civilian whose job is to investigate crooked cops. As the supervisor for the Independent Police Review Authority, (IPRA), Roberts is responsible for investigating claims of police misconduct and officer-involved shootings.

After a nightmarish interaction with six Chicago cops, however, Roberts became the subject of his own work.

According to a federal lawsuit filed this week, after leaving a bar on New Year’s Day 2015, Roberts was pulled over by six of Chicago’s finest.

One of these six cops found Roberts identification card that showed he was a supervisor at the IPRA. Once they discovered that Roberts was a man who is tasked with holding police accountable for a living, the dashcam recording of the incident goes black.

If you taunt a pit bull you're going to be bitten. If you walk around acting like a scofflaw to taunt the police into reacting, expect repercussions.

This is a ridiculous comment that, unfortunately, some police agree with. The police are not judge and jury. If they do not want to be "taunted" then they should get a different job that has no "taunting" involved. We need to rid our police departments of these kind of cops. They are not doing their jobs and are causing the civil unrest that we have seen in the last year or so.
