Maddie-
Welcome to our Jungle ![]() Seriously- Perspective is needed here:idea: Before the event was being recorded.. What did the young fella do to provoke the officer? ![]() Did he just blow the head off of a 98 yr old woman? Did he spit in the officer's face? Perspective. or Did the officer not get enough lovin from mama at home..making him a shitty day, or serve bad coffee at the local donut house..? ![]() Lets not rush to judgement.. DB9 ![]() |

Well..the good thing about this incident is that people all over the world saw it...in the old days people in the next town wouldn't have even known about it...it would have been hushed up and a non-issue. The officers wouldn't be suspended...wouldn't even have been investigated...no one would have cared except the black community.
Now people all over see and care...the officer has been suspended and there is an investigation. Some things are the same...some things have changed. dream wanderer |

I have no idea why on earth anyone would want to be an inner-city cop in the United States, if you over-react to a situation you are persecuted, if you under-react you are lying on your back in the morgue
these guys have one of the most dangerous and most difficult jobs in the world, let's get all the facts before we sentence these fellars |

The police officer slammed the boy onto a car, punched him in the face and dragged him by a chain he wore around his neck. Rep. Maxine Waters who represents the city in Congress has stated that she believed the attack to be racially motivated and called on the Attorney General to begin a Justice Department investigation. I'm curious about what sort of news coverage this event has received in the United States? |

maybe if we know all the fact we would understand why he did it it can't be condoned though if there aren't strict boundaries to what you can and what you can't do within the limits of the law then what do we have ??? I do admit that there is no way I would want to be a police officer either

Apparently not the first time this police officer has beaten up a black man who had not been charged with any crime.

My husband is a former police officer from in that area and dealt with officers from the city of Inglewood on a regular basis. You don't even want to know what I have heard about the treatment of black "suspects". |

This was a traffic stop...the kid was simply being a kid, questioning the officer as to why his father was being stopped. Whether he got in the cop's face or not, the cop is supposed to be in control at all times. |

The boy on the video was handcuffed when they beat him up. Whatever it was he did, the boy didn't pose a threat to anyone.
