VA Liquor control agents - in the news - AGAIN

[TechnoWeenie]

Amongst their many notable fuck ups, one of which involved unidentified/civilian clothed 'agents' pulling a gun out on a student who bought a bottle of water, because they thought she was underage and bought alcohol, and of course, she ran..Source...

Instead of beer, a friend of Elizabeth K. Daly, now 21, had purchased a case of canned water from a Charlottesville grocery. Daly said she was terrified when (what turned out to be plainclothes agents) men surrounded her car and banged on the windows ordering her to roll them down.
After one agent drew a gun and another jumped on the car hood, she said she panicked, unsure they were really agents, and fled the scene in her car, grazing two of the agents. The charges were later dropped, and her record was expunged.

Now, they have apparently beat up a kid for being refused entry to a bar...


He tried to get into a bar, the bouncer declined, the ABC agents, thinking he was trying to use a fake ID, came up to him and slammed him on the ground... Without provocation...

So, of course, as he's on the ground, he started cussing at them.... "I go to UVA. You fuckin' racists. ... How did this happen?"

He was charged with using profanity in public (yes, it's still on the books, despite being found unconstitutional), and obstruction....


ABC claims they were 'trying to detain him for questioning', but of course, they don't say for what.. or explain why they threw him to the ground without provocation.... and became 'aggressive and belligerent' after being taken into custody.... YA THINK? SOMEONE MIGHT BE A BIT PISSED OFF AFTER YOU COME UP TO HIM AND SLAM HIM INTO THE GROUND, WITHOUT PROVOCATION?! Ya fuckin' toolbags.

Video



Johnson is a member of the school's Honor Committee and Kappa Alpha Psi... and no criminal history... So, it appears this time that, 'he was a good kid, with good grades'....

*deep breath* *sigh*

Ok

To bad there is not a complete video. You assume the guy said nothing and did nothing prior to the video being shot. Hopefully a full video will come out so folks can see what happened in its entirety.

Watched this story on Q13 this AM. It's gaining some traction no doubt. I agree that it would have been nice to see all that happened prior to face meeting pavement.

Context would be good, but I have more empathy for this guy that the other two folks who have been celebrated by the press.

I don't know what happened and I won't speculate. What I will say is I have never been in trouble with the law, only 2 traffic citations in the last 20 years, volunteer at the local schools, coach little league, teach 6 & 7th grade bible study, member of a civic club with numerous community volunteer hours, retired military, and I'm sure I can go on and on, but if I have too much to drink and don't have the right buddies around to coral me I could be a douche and may even start some shat. Luckily I surround myself by people that look out for me and vice-versa. Otherwise, I don't let myself get out of control.

I hope there are some security cameras we can get more info from, cause this looks like another shit storm coming.
