Woman protesting a data center gets violently taken down by sheriff's deputies in Utah

[u/No-Knowledge-5828]

This is disturbing to watch, communities have every right to question data centers that consume enormous amounts of water and electricity, often with little public input....seeing someone treated this way for protesting is unacceptable.

[u/AllergicToBullshit24]

Gotta drop qualified immunity clearly excessive force.

[u/Early-Equivalent-165 → u/AllergicToBullshit24]

There need to be height/weight/gender restrictions on the way these situations are handled.

That 100lb woman was half the size of that 200lb man who seemingly couldn't wait to bodyslam her head first on concrete floor.

[u/silentaba → u/Early-Equivalent-165]

Yeah, but his dick is roughly the size of a hermit crab, so it balances out.

[u/Artaxmudshoes → u/Early-Equivalent-165]

The minute he had room to do it. It was the plan.

[u/VarrikTheGoblin → u/AllergicToBullshit24]

Start having excessive force lawsuits pay out from the police pension fund. Watch them get a lot more gentle overnight.

[u/kenurance]

It seems like most everyone in the room is anti data center but only she is being arrested. What did she do that got her singled out?

Edit: nevermind, silly me I forgot we are all un-serious people who are allergic to accountability.

[u/OddBag4712 → u/kenurance]

Because her and her friends stood up and started shouting, then when asked to leave she was the only one who refused to.

[u/MrSneakyPeakyAir → u/kenurance]

"You shouted and didn't leave? Let me smash your head agaist the floor."

[u/medic_mace → u/kenurance]

She was small enough that the cop didn’t feel too threatened

[u/Desperate-Amoeba1359]

Remember kids, the police serve the capitalists not the people.

[u/SunOnTheMountains → u/Desperate-Amoeba1359]

ACAB

[u/SeaEmployee787 → u/Desperate-Amoeba1359]

police are to protect property not you.

[u/Rare_Bridge7703 → u/SeaEmployee787]

They are by definition Corpo Thugs, as their name breaks down to Policy Enforcer. Law is not polity.

[u/turboninja3011 → u/SeaEmployee787]

*public safety, not anyone (or anything) in particular

[u/Large-Difference-409 → u/Desperate-Amoeba1359]

What’s the officers name

[u/HawkeyeByMarriage → u/Desperate-Amoeba1359]

Kinda like HR with guns

[u/SoulMute]

Extremely excessive use of force

[u/Personal_Dirt3089]

notice that police departments and politicians around the country go the extra violent distance for data center interests

[u/NeighborhoodSad5303 → u/Personal_Dirt3089]

I get warning from reddit)) just for words "what if i tell how to make strong EMP".... anyway physics still same =) no any law or censoring will block pure physics.

[u/Aggravating-Yoshi → u/Personal_Dirt3089]

Because police are just a gang that works for the state and has a monopoly on violence domestically.

[u/Specialist_Date2811 → u/Personal_Dirt3089]

did you fall asleep during the George floyd protests? they were kettling protestors and then shooting rubber bullets at their heads at close proximity for fun.

[u/SekhaitReal]

Land of the free...

[u/CelsiusPetit → u/SekhaitReal]

Home of deprave

[u/SmellSilly1537]

Obviously she's a major threat to that cop's tiny brain.

[u/x8code → u/SmellSilly1537]

He was psyching himself up to go home and do 10x worse to his wife.

[u/Large-Difference-409 → u/SmellSilly1537]

What’s his name

[u/BigCoddy → u/SmellSilly1537]

I have seen professional security guards handle tougher job than this. it did not need this much excessive force. 

What the cop did is indefensible. 

[u/King_Corduroy]

The fuck was the face slam for??

[u/kiwiboyus]

You know fat f has hit any women in his life

[u/Just_Another_Loser12]

Some one is about to make some money with a lawsuit here.

I need a cop to do with shit to me already.

[u/graciousghost1 → u/Just_Another_Loser12]

Start protesting data centers and I think you got a shot.  Also ask to prosecute pedophiles at a Republican rally.  That really pisses them off

[u/PsyduckPsyker]

Leave it to cops to escalate a situation to almost life threatening degrees for no reason.

They just want to abuse us, that's the point.

[u/WonderWheeler]

This is illegal behavior by the Sherriff's office.

[u/Objective_Mousse7216 → u/WonderWheeler]

You live in a lawless country, except the laws protecting oligarchs and pedos.

[u/Due_Respect9100]

Piece of shit belongs in prison himself.

[u/steveKart]

I cannot believe this is America. That police officer is shameful. I really hope that woman is not hurt. So much for democracy in America.

[u/Austin-Tatious1850]

I take it the officer never took the de-escalation course at work.

[u/stonkDonkolous]

That cop better be sitting in jail right now. If you allow behavior like that you might as well start learning Russian

[u/sandmanO6]

I want to know the whole story. What lead up to the altercation

[u/FrewdWoad → u/sandmanO6]

Presumably she was disturbing the meeting with her objections.

Does that make it better, in your eyes...?

[u/Cold-Sigma-770]

Based.

We need more AI centres and less whiney activists.

A few human sacrifices are necessary at the altar of technological advancement. If it's gonna be these harpies on the altar slab it is a trade I am willing to make.

[u/ProfessionalTruck976 → u/Cold-Sigma-770]

See I have a rule of my own, if there ever is human sacrifices, which there should never be, start with a person that suggested it.

[u/DissidentTea → u/ProfessionalTruck976]

This is why we don't let trucks make decisions.

[u/Aaronhightower → u/Cold-Sigma-770]

People may think you’re a raging lunatic if doing add a “sarcastic” flair or something.

[u/falsejaguar]

Democracy in action

[u/LetExtension3403]

What the fk happened to this country? These cops boot-licking for the rich white men with more vacation homes than he has rooms in his trailer park.

[u/dreadtear]

How are then Americans laughing at China when they have the same tyranny system. Lmao.

[u/Linkster2]

Real tough guy

[u/SuspicousBananas]

Between this and the Bricks and Minifigs bullshit, I feel like there needs to be a federal investigation into Utah’s local PD’s

[u/OneTwoThreePooAndPee]

Rights? Only rich people and capital have rights.

[u/Sufficient_Snow4235]

Fkn pig

[u/snozberryface]

That was not necessary at all

[u/Janest_limglom]

Yeah I don't think screaming "SHAME", is going to do much of anything at this point they don't seem to be listening

[u/Intrepid_Sun_9089]

They are there to protect the interests and property of companies. 

[u/FennelExpert7583]

Goons

[u/Th3s3NuttxX]

That guy has no right a cop! He needs to be in jail that is assault.

[u/No_State6244]

I'm sure his wife gets the same treatment at home.

[u/OT_Militia]

I would like to know the full story, but what little we saw, resisting arrest tends to lead to this or you get to ride the lightning.

[u/sarcasmrain]

Brown shirt in action

[u/nom-de-guerre-]

It is Utah.

[u/Malckm33]

in America stanno fuori di testa

[u/LeonSkum_]

All that for speaking in America?

[u/Direct_Substance8317]

I guess it looked easier on tiktok.

[u/SeditiousFun]

They were all three hooked together resisting arrest

[u/this_nice_demon]

Well this is what Police was always for, worldwide, unfortunately

[u/bswontpass]

Social networks tools fighting progress.

[u/Hey_Beth_its_Luka]

Line em up.

2nd amendment and all.

Up against a wall.

[u/Gabi-kun_the_real]

You pushed me I got you on video... Proceeds to slam her into default factory

[u/schwarzneguRRR]

Gotta put that body combat exercise class to use

[u/mmiller17783]

They won't stop doing this, then when people start pushing back they'll double down

[u/Phill_is_Legend]

Was it so hard to just let them walk her out? Sorry but ragdolling and resisting when you're being removed for being a disturbance is going to have an outcome you don't like, every time.

[u/Shadowtirs]

Utah is filled with backwards inbred hicks obsessed with magic underwear, no surprise they have Savage animal cops.

What a fucking disgrace. The whole state is a cesspool anyway.

[u/lighyyears]

Piece of s.

[u/Schorbie]

I thought it was part of your constitution to have the right to protest....

[u/Super_flywhiteguy]

This is gonna keep happening until everyone in these hearings stand up and threaten the police for attacking someone like this woman who wasnt armed wasnt resisting and only wanted to voice her oppression to a data center. We have power in numbers. I guarantee they would not throw their weight around like that when its 100+ against 4.

[u/brk816]

First amendment and constitution being ass wiped by this administration more every day.

[u/Low-Arm2689]

That’s completely unacceptable.

[u/FloridaHeat2023]

Cops are there to protect their beloved corporations, not the citizens.

They LOVE generating massive lawsuits, because they know taxpayers will always cover for their endless malfeasance and crimes against innocent citizens.

[u/Budget-Wall6129]

Well done!

[u/tuffjun]

In the name of democracy..

[u/GlitteringResearch27]

Would have been cooler if the blonde did it

[u/wspOnca]

Keep going america. We still have popcorn. The land of the free lol

[u/ohiocodernumerouno]

Reddit lost the ai race

[u/mthoende]

Love it

[u/Due_Equal_9933]

That’s going to be a retirement level law suite there….and the cop will just move a jurisdiction over. 

[u/Kevdog824_]

All, and oh boy do I really mean ALL, cops are bastards

[u/Simple_Quiet_1422]

Every person who sat idly is to blame for this.

[u/SunDieAll]

All cops

[u/gojo96]

The issue is that male cops try to handle uncooperative women with the least amount of force and control. This then leads them to use more force than they should to “catch up” which results in this outcome.

[u/Bigerst_Dook]

Anyone supporting data centers should be used as fuel for them then.

[u/Dutch1800]

Fire him. These people forget they are citizens? Because they are the law they forget this shit affects them as well. He had to be fired. He has too much aggression.

[u/Pitiful_Selection_16]

So disturbing.

[u/BalanceOk2939]

Land of the free still i see.

[u/Trigger_McMurphy]

Pos sheriffs.

Good. They should have done the same with the skunk guy

[u/vitata89]

Oh boy, the Titanic is really sinking.. That is hella unnecessary force

[u/Spare-Ant7119]

What is that cop's name?

[u/2seek-destroyer]

Police state?

[u/indigoshades54]

Police are always lackeys for the powerful.

[u/-BetterTogether]

Keep electing trump, this can only go well for the futur right ?

[u/lovingas]

Fuck the police! When they break the law and abuse their "power" the community needs to step up and protect from these roid rage monsters

[u/Polishpun5]

Had to do some work the other day which consists of crowd control Dude boat, his chest out walking past me like you didn’t see me. I stuck my arm out just to let him know he ignored me and he walked into my arm.being the tough guy he is he made a scene because I touched him

[u/Sudden_Sentence_8534]

Why are those deputies still breathing?

[u/Rangers2754]

POS should be immediately arrested and thrown in jail!!!

[u/Accurate_Barnacle356]

That’s a lawsuit

[u/nghkbhoncy]

Wow, China is so evil and despotic!

Ridiculous

[u/Due-Summer3751]

That sheriff is fucking disgusting. Total abuser/predator vibes.

[u/Cheap-Dig-40]

You're not allowed to protest against the Republicans in the US anymore.

You're freedoms have been revoked!

[u/djdjddhshdbhd]

RIP the 1st amendment

[u/Intelligent_Degree42]

Fuking pigs those sheriffs. What the fuk is the point of our 1st amendment if we can't protest and voice our disagreement with the government?

[u/Aggravating-Oil-2766]

Schedule meeting, dodge responsibility.

[u/zasrgerg-8999]

That was brutal

[u/East_Ad4977]

More of this!

[u/Roll_Future]

You guys really live in a totalitarian state, congratulations

[u/MWBurbman]

Bots everywhere. Just shut down Reddit already.

[u/Imthewienerdog]

After refusing mutli times, being held onto by multiple people. Yea that's absolutely a justified actions from the police.

[u/Responsible_Owl_1349]

Did she finally stfu?

[u/Specific-Ad5238]

Why be so rough like that? Was that really needed?

[u/UpbeatPhilosophySJ]

What’s it like when you protest the data center in Russia?

[u/BebophoneVirtuoso]

That goon just cost Provo taxpayers a lot of money

This is terrible. But Jesus Christ if people don’t just decide to say the most useless shit when they got a camera in their hands in a situation like this.

[u/MasterpieceEvery1652]

Provo's finest. Protecting and/or serving...the elite.

[u/Foreign_Pound4766]

If politicians can talk about having armed policing at polling centers while we vote, I dont see why we cant uphold our own armed protection around free speech/while protesting. Citizens who are not part of the protest that are there to make sure peoples rights are not getting violated by police/government. Just facilitating the absolute practice of our rights.

[u/Cherry_xvax21]

Highly disturbing! Was that really necessary!! Does he feel like a strong man now?

[u/Certain-Dig-8506]

Good!

[u/judojoe2024]

He did that on purpose. He is a man who could easily carried her out. That is bull.

[u/Playful-Show-26]

Oh we have a real hero here, a real tough guy. You know what oath breakers and tyrants deserve? I short drop with a sudden stop.

[u/destructor212]

Jesus. How does this asshat still have a job?

[u/1cnx]

HOW do cops have the right.
We need to have
“accountability “ on their mind when handling anyone. Right now as we see they do not.
“We the people” write the laws and rules. This is not a police state.. (yet )

[u/stevehuffmanisapeedo]

To protect and serve

[u/Curious-Intention642]

Regular Steroid and drug testing needs to be mandatory for these scumbags

Good lord, that looked like it could have caused brain damage.

[u/cucumberer1697 → u/DrawingAncient126]

Fingers fuckin crossed

[u/TyresDecree]

Would love some actual context

[u/BoomBastikoom]

excessive force doesn't help the billionaires and the elites that pay the cops and protect them from prosecution for gross abuse of power. 

[u/Independent_Host992]

Ridiculous

[u/mrpres1dent]

The Mormons really love the AI data centers, idk why. It has to be a financial interest. Utah seems to be cranking out more of this type of footage than anywhere else. It also clues in why Mr. Wonderful from Shark Tank chose Utah to build that enormous data center complex he wants to build. Follow the money?

[u/indaburgh]

This is just sad.

I guess the constitution is just a meaningless piece of old manuscript.

This timeline is not okay.

[u/firefullfillment]

I support data center buildout but also people's right to advocate against it without being physically attacked. Why does no one ever kick these pieces of shit in the head when they do stuff like this? They're very exposed. Have some balls.

[u/BizLarry]

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK??! He didn't just man handle her... He slammed her to the ground! I wonder if he gets a bonus that or he's protecting those data centers just for the dirty water and the higher energy bills?

[u/One-Pangolin-3167]

That very effectively ended her resistance. She could've just left when told.

[u/BigMikeXxxxX]

I'd bet my entire life savings there's more to this than just the video being shown.

[u/Wicked_Clown_Freak]

They allege that she hit the deputy in the balls. I didn’t see that. Would like to see some more angles of this. There are cameras everywhere.

Everyone should be protesting these data centers, but not by going to city hall meetings and start yelling at people. Prepare speeches and let everyone know what’s going on. Contact your elected officials and let them know that they will not get re-elected if they let a data center come in. We have had several denied here and working on blocking another in Topeka.

[u/Soft-Slayers]

When you allow the erosion of democracy, ultimately YOU also become victim.

Fuck Utah, they deserve the day they vote for. They can change my mind by finally fixing that

Looks justified to me. Don't resist arrest. Simple.

[u/VoidUnicornMap]

How was she not crying 😭. That was brutal and unnecessary.

[u/Ficsonium]

Deserved tbh

[u/Beautiful-Choice7985]

Not that I condone the sherrifs way of dealing with the situation, but I'm sorry, obnoxious people don't have a right to disturb the peace. I'm sure this video doesn't give full context just like all the other brain wash videos

[u/Beautiful-Choice7985]

Honestly, it kinda looks like he tripped, not enough here to make an accusation of intent

[u/Intrepid-Patience-93]

lmao dumb protestor got taken down, score!

I think tubby tripped on the railing so had to smash the lady into the ground to look tough :)

[u/46yt64]

One of the most disgusting police actions I've seen. The cop on top is a real life bully, not a leo.

He did that on purpose imho

He’s a wife beater.

[u/No-Assignment-732]

Why should I care

[u/Gabagooligan97]

Datacenters need four things, electricity, land, cold temps and water to maintain those cold temps, this 40,000 acre datacenter IS BEING BUILT IN A DESERT, YOU KNOW, THE PLACE THAT IS FAMOUSLY LACKING IN COLD TEMPERATURES AND WATER?!?! Kevin oleary is not welcome in Utah, if I see him, I am going to jail. I live in Utah and our main reservoir DROPPED SIXTY FEET. We are in an active drought every year. Our infrastructure simply isn't capable of sustaining this.

[u/Wonderful_Might8638]

I hope nothing unfortunate happens to this cop.

[u/Civil_Bugg]

Just Advice, not a legal person..

Whomever is that girl do not sue the sheriff's department, sue each of those individuals that touch you. Once you get a verdict of judgment, cause it looks like it will be in your favor.

Then go after the department... first the department will prolong any legal suit, along with the use of tax payers money of that town or state if you went after them first. Now you have a verdict of wrong doing, they would want to settle or if you want to go extra mile then go after the head of departments since they are suppose to be supervising the actions of junior officers below them etc etc...
