So this happened, allegedly:

On April 8, one incident report says, the man allegedly put his arm around a woman’s waist, put his hand down the right side of her shorts and then put his arm back around her waist as her pants were partly down. On April 10, another report alleges the man repeatedly picked up a baby without permission and tried to walk away.

[Sergeant] Pentland told officers who had responded to a “physical dispute” Monday that he pushed the man “in fear for his safety and the safety of his wife,” according to the incident report.

This BBBBBBBBBBBlack guy allegedly tried to kidnap a baby and sexually assaulted a woman. This army guy was then asked by several people to do something about this behavior.

Deputies were told that the man approached “several neighbors in a threatening manner” and that someone had asked Pentland to “intervene,” the agency said in a statement.

That he did. They're now trying to destroy him for that.

First, he has been attacked before an international audience, and demonized by this worthless rag of a billionaire-owned 'newspaper'.

He has also been arrested for the crime of standing for his neighborhood.

He was arrested Wednesday morning and transferred to Fort Jackson authorities late in the evening, officials said.

His home has been vandalized by peaceful protesters.

What started out as peaceful demonstrations became “disruptive,” a sheriff’s department spokeswoman said Wednesday evening. Deputies were called after 8 p.m. because “unknown protesters” vandalized the house, according to Deputy Sara Blann; they closed access to the street and surrounding area for nonresidents and took Pentland’s family to another location.

The absolute disgrace that is his commanding officer has denounced him.

Brig. Gen. Milford H. Beagle Jr., Fort Jackson’s commanding officer, tweeted Wednesday that the “unfortunate incident” had “brought disrespect to @fortjackson our Army and the trust with the public we serve.” He promised “transparency” and shared an earlier statement that “the leaders at Fort Jackson in no way condone the behavior depicted” on the video.

The sheriff is ignoring the crimes the hoodlum committed, and instead focusing on Evil Whitey who dared serve his country.

Authorities sought to focus Wednesday on Pentland.

“There was some other things that occurred that really doesn’t justify the actions of” Pentland, [Richland County Sheriff Leon] Lott said at Wednesday’s news conference. He added, “None of them justified the assault that occurred.”

“It was terrible, it was unnecessary, it was a bad video,” he added. “The young man was a victim, the individual that was arrested was the aggressor, and he’s been dealt with accordingly.”

Lott was not done virtue-signaling.

“We’re not going to let people be bullies in our community,” Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott said at a news conference Wednesday. “And if you are, you’re going to answer for it, and that’s what we’ve done in this case.”

You are going to let people sexually assault women and kidnap babies though. Because he has a ready-made excuse for the guy.

The young man has “an underlying medical condition that may explain the behavior exhibited in the alleged incidents,” the agency said.

Existing while white seems to be a crime these days.

When you protect hoodlums and attack patriots like the good sergeant, you'll get more of the former and less of the latter.
