Replying to @fortjacksoncsmT
The leaders at Fort Jackson in no way condone the behavior depicted in the video and will work closely with each law enforcement agency as investigations move forward.

@fortjacksoncsmT
The command team, our Criminal Investigation Division (Army CID) agents, and our Staff Judge Advocate teams are all engaged with their professional counterparts and civil authorities to seek the facts which will determine how the investigations progress.
Victory! Starts Here!!

(26,339 posts)If so, the cops need to be investigated.
Im so sick of cops looking the other way for right wing jagoffs assaulting people but arresting people for brushing up against a cop - like that one case the cop threatened a protester with arrest if one of her bubbles touched him.

(9,942 posts)put a link to the video or some context into your OP there wouldn't be so many people asking what this is about.
all you have to do is hit "edit" and put this link in the OP

IMHO if you're going to talk about a video in an OP, it is helpful to the readers to provide a link to the video or at least some context about what the video is. I'm not the only one who was clueless.
putting it in the OP is much more helpful than in this reply to a reply.
note, 4 out of the 5 responses to your OP are asking what this is about.
thanks

(12,509 posts)if they don't discharge him, he will be transferred out to finish his twenty before retirement, if they let him.

(9,995 posts)he will no longer be a DI, which I understand was his current status. Makes you wonder how he treated his Black troops. What a johnson!
Treefrog
(4,170 posts)I almost thought I recognized him because he seemed so familiar. Sad.

(9,995 posts)as my dad would say. He kinda reminded me of a sergeant my son pointed out to me (another DI, not his) when he was graduating from basic at Ft. Jackson. This guy was boasting about what a great runner he was and challenging all and sundry to a race (5K maybe, I forget now) if anyone could beat him. So my kid, 19 years old and a former cross-country runner, who probably weighed in at 135 lbs at the time, gets pushed to the front by his buddies and after a minute he's all in. And he beats the guy....who collapsed just across the finish line. Guy did not know my son had been a cross-country runner and had been running in the front pack during all of basic
