:what: I swear cops will literally make up anything to arrest a black person.




In the video, 26-year-old Donrell Breaux asked the deputy why he was trying to enter a River Ridge home. What followed was recorded on a mobile phone.

The video was posted to Facebook Tuesday night and quickly went viral. The video was shared on Facebook thousands of times within hours.

The I-Team talked with Breaux Wednesday night.

When asked why the deputy was at the home, Breaux said, "I think one of the neighbors called them because we was cussing and cutting up on the porch."

When the deputy arrived, Breaux says he did not identify himself and tried to force his way into the residence.

The video shows the deputy trying to handcuff Breaux, and one can clearly hear Breaux repeatedly asking the officer why he is being arrested.

The deputy responded, "I don't answer to you."

Breaux says he was arrested and charged with battery of a police officer, resisting arrest and disturbing the peace.

Breaux won't suggest what steps should be taken in light of the incident.

"He was forceful but I'll let Jefferson Parish decide if this officer should be punished," Breaux said.

A spokesperson for the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office said Sheriff Newell Normand has a copy of the video, is monitoring an internal review of the matter and when he has something to say about the situation, he'll do so.

Breaux hopes that's soon.

"I don't have to answer to you"

typical attitude of police officers.

They better drop the charges.

Look. . . we can have sensible gun control regulations, but you have to understand why some people get so up in arms (no pun) when anybody mentions gun control. We're god damn near powerless as it is. The gun is the last beacon of hope against a tyrannical government and its enforcement arms. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but the escalation of government versus citizen has clearly been happening for awhile now. Racism is obviously still a problem with police, but this is a much larger fight to me. I just wonder what it takes for people to actually coalesce against this type of behavior and fight back in a way that forces change. It's hard because we're victims of our own success. They've fattened us up to the point of complacency, so for the most part, it's difficult to find anyone willing to risk the creature comforts we've grown accustom to, in order to fight for a cause with the potential that we land behind bars. And landing behind bars is obviously quite easy with vague, easily trumped up charges like resisting arrest and obstruction.
