well someone needs to inform us on when it is ok for police to beat subdued perp. hardcore criminals deserve to be incarcerated but what about innocent til proven guilty? kicking a perp who is on his knees and being held by two other officers seems a bit lop-sided. what is legally acceptable...
maybe there were crimes committed but in the case of a 15 year old girl who got punched then pepper sprayed for biting a cop after he almost dislocated her arm and slammed her on the car. or the lone woman who was shot in the back by one of 100 cops.... was it necessary for the cop to run over...
my folks would have left me in the room with that crap for like three days if i tried that.
some examples of regurgitated videos where police are handcuffing assailants. is this what our tax dollars are buying?
YouTube - Police take advantage of a Drunk Girl
YouTube - Police brutality caught...
well i ain't toby if that's what you mean. if you'd been through some of the ordeals i've been through you'd most likely feel the same way.

how smart could he be to send that? comments like these are still heard everyday.
i meant reconstucting a system that didn't cater to the needs of all perhaps by deconstructing in an effort to rectify. i feel the riots brought on real change and that is positive in my book. rite is rite. granted it was not the nicest, classiest, peacefulest way but it worked.
mlk was shot...
i don't know what was going through the rioters' heads. it's hard to focus the rage into positive energy. i think it was about trying to reconstruct their neighborhoods and court system.
i'd have to research the details of that time with a more objective mindframe before ceding. that beating didn't remind me of an anarchist rebelling against some intangible concept. it reminded me of the water hoses in the 60's. that's what was so disturbing. maybe it ended up being execrable...
it may have been stupid but it really only took one episode of barbaric retaliation to initiate change. how many marches and years did it take to get mlk day?? im NOT saying rioting is the answer to injustice. the LA riots happened after years of organized, state-sponsored, mistreatment of...
