“ORANGEBURG, S.C. — A South Carolina police officer is unemployed and facing criminal charges after he stomped on the head of a physically disabled Black man last week. David Lance Dukes, 38, of Orangeburg, is charged with first-degree assault and battery, according to the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division. He was booked Saturday into the Orangeburg County Detention Center and later released on $10,000 bond. If convicted, Dukes faces 10 years in prison,” reports WSB-TV2.

“Police body-cams recorded the violent incident, which took place just after 5 p.m. on July 26 as Dukes and other officers went to the Colleton Village Townhomes to investigate a 911 call about a man with a gun. An incident report released Wednesday and obtained by the Times and Democrat in Orangeburg alleges that a female resident had called to report a man, identified as Clarence Gailyard, 58, of Orangeburg, banging on her door and window, trying to get in. The report states that the caller said Gailyard had a gun in the waistband of his jean shorts.”

“The caller, identified in police reports as a relative of Gailyard, later said she’d never seen a gun. When officers arrived, they found Gailyard in the parking lot, holding a stick wrapped in shiny silver tape. At a news conference Tuesday, Gailyard’s lawyer explained that his client walks with the stick as protection from aggressive stray dogs. Gailyard also uses a cane, which he held in his hand Tuesday as he sat and listened to his attorney, state Rep. Justin Bamberg, speaking to reporters.”

Gailyard was confronted by officers who told him to get down on the ground, but officer Dukes didn’t feel he was moving fast enough, and lifted his foot and kicked Gailyard in the back of the head, forcing him down onto the ground.

Although the article does not specifically mention Officer Dukes’s political ideology, it’s fairly safe to assume he’s probably a MAGA-Nazi shithead.
