Police found Fredrick Barley living in a tent near campus. What they did next might surprise you. Ana Kasparian, Ben Makiewicz, and Kenny Hamilton, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“When police officers were called to investigate a tent set up outside a Georgia college, they didn’t expect to find inspiration.
The officers were called July 9 to a campsite near a Gordon State College parking lot, where they found a 19-year-old homeless student staying in a tent hidden in some bushes, reported The Herald-Gazette.
The officers ordered him out of his tent with his hands up, but they listened to his story instead of writing a ticket for trespassing.
Fredrick Barley had ridden six hours — and more than 50 miles — on his younger brother’s 20-inch bicycle and arrived about a month early for his second year as a biology major, with nothing but his tent, a duffle bag, a box of cereal and two gallons of water.
The student, who hopes to go on to medical school, wanted to make sure he had enough time to find a job before classes began, and he spent his days riding his too-small bike to fill out applications at local businesses.”

A fluff piece by TYT? I think hell is freezing over about now.
Most people know when they are about to get pulled over… don’t need
special training etc for that!
I wonder if Fredrick would’ve had this opportunity had there been no
national spotlight on the recent police state brutality.
nothing special. cop are usually like this
*Some* cops are like this. All cops are required to do is make sure people
are following the law.

You see , blacks are the privileged race
please go off yourself.
I saw a video that was mostly a slide show depicting heroin addiction. It
ends with a picture of a “Jane Doe” naked and dead after her postmortem.
The medical examiner had done a very poor job sewing her closed. She had
dried snot around her nose, dried vomit around her mouth.
Al that was known about her was that she was in her early 20’s (she looked
to be closer to 40) she died of a heroin overdose in some abandoned
building.
Then they show her body as it is consumed in the crematorium. No
compassion, or sympathy or respect was shown to her body. Probably because
she was just worthless. Just another homeless drug addict who ran out of
friends and out of chances.
I git to thinking about what she might have been like 10 years ago. A
little kid, moving from grade school to middle school, talking on the phone
with friends, fighting with her parents, just doing the things every kid
who has ever lived has done.
I got to thinking about the people who knew her real name. The teachers and
friends she had had growing up. Must of those people would still be alive.
How many people are still running around who knew her?
I have known drug addicts, I have known homeless people. Sure some of them
are truly bad people, but most are just people who made a few poor choices
in their life.
I have no idea about what that woman’s history was like, or what kind of
person she was before the drugs destroyed her life. But I would like to
know her name at least.
That is the real harm of drugs. They don’t just kill you. First they take
away all of your value, so that by the time you die, no one who knows your
name cares enough to bother to wonder where you are. To wonder what
happened to you.
All that is left is a few pounds of nameless grey powder.
So, so very true.
very sad. drugs scare me
This community and cop are true heroes! But, I would trade all of this just
for our cops to be retrained and to stop shooting innocent people, without
cause.
Yeah I agree. ❤✌
Cops? All I heard was one cop and his wife. Stop being such cop lovers, lol
L
So they didnt shot him point blank? I dont understand its almost the cops
arent monsters like TYT taught me
Even the majority of trolls didn’t dislike this video for some reason
W
We should be naming this HERO cop!!!! He needs to be celebrated.
when he gets a car the cops will stop him all the time

This is why I was subbed to TYT at one point, stories like this along with
reality checks for a lot of the other stories. I don’t care for their
political views in a more Left vs right sense, but these types of views,
this is why I still like you guys, just don’t care for the mindless anti
Trump propaganda.
Trump sucks
We need more public servants like this. Cleveland, Minnesota, Baton
Rouge….pay attention.
Wait two years, that cop will kill him.
+Ash Phillips that not nice to say
+Ash Phillips You know the vast majority of cops have never shot any one.
+Anzu Wyliei but cops have killed coloured people Recruits reasons. It was
horrible
We need more young men like Fred Barley. It is unfortunate that his own
community doesn’t respect his initiative.
Where are all the people saying TYT are terrorist sympathizers and hate
cops?
+comochinganconesto b-b-b-but muh cuck regressives h8 cops n white ppl
TYT are terrorist sympathizers and hate cops. What now? You think this
video changes their views? Your truly a fanboy ahaha what an idiot
tyt are anti Christian but support Islam
+occam
If you’re going to call someone else an idiot then at least know the
difference between your and you’re.
then they pulled him over and shot him
+Anil Nair don’t you have a bus to blow up
stop being mean to each other
+Jonathan Ma 🙂
LOL
oh wait I thought cops hated black people
Don’t be stupid. Obviously we know that not ALL cops are racist. No one
ever claimed that they are all bad…
Yea i can flip your argument and say that i thought all cops were angels.
That doesn’t quite work now does it??? Obviously TYT never said all cops
hated black people common sense isn’t quite so common these days…
Your a idiot
How can you dislike this story?
Envy

+tsgsjeremy Testify! Just like Martin Luther King Jr. said we can judge
this man by the content of his character and not his skin color.
