WHY IS ANYONE SURPRISED, OH, I GUESS SINCE 911, WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE UNITED. IT HAS HISTORICALLY BEEN THAT WAY. WE ARE SUFFICIENT AND IT IS PRUDENT WHEN A CRISIS OCCURS. JUST LIKE PREVIOUS WARS WHERE MANY AFRICAN-AMERICAN PEOPLE DIED FOR THIS COUNTRY, WHEN THOSE WHO MANAGED TO SURVIVE RETURNED HOME THEY WERE TREATED LIKE THE NIGGER'S THE WHITE MAN HAS ALWAYS THOUGHT THEY WERE. WHEN JESSIE OWENS SHOWED HITLER HOW VAIN HE WAS TO SPEAK OF SUPERIORITY AND TOOK THE CONFIDENCE OUT OF THE GERMAN PEOPLE, THAT WAS WHERE THE WAR WAS WON. JESSIE CAME HOME TO A HERO'S WELCOME, BUT THE ONLY JOB HE COULD GET WAS RACING HORSES AND HE STILL HAD TO USE THE BACK DOOR OF THE STABLE TO GET IN. THE HORSES HAD BETTER PRIVILEGES THAN HE. QUIETLY, AND DECEPTIVELY, THAT IS STILL THE CASE. A DOUBLE STANDARD AMERICA. BUSH SAID IT BEST WHEN HE SAID THERE IS NO MIDDLE GROUND, YOU ARE EITHER WITH US OR AGAINST US, THEN PROMPTLY CALLED ON THE EUROPEAN UNION FOR SUPPORT. THAT PRETTY MUCH TOLD MINORITIES IN AMERICA JUST EXACTLY WHERE THEY STOOD IN THE OVERALL SCHEME OF THINGS. WOULD SOCIETY BE SO CALM IF THAT WERE 5 BLACK MEN BEATING DOWN A TEENAGE WHITE BOY LIKE THAT. DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT! QUESTION? WHY DID THE GUY WITH STRIPES ON HIS SHOULDER ALLOW THE WHITE GUYS TO DICTATE THE ACTION WITHOUT INTERVENTION FROM HIM. THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO UMMMM............IT IS ALL BULL----

None

by Henry Thompson Thursday, Jul. 11, 2002 at 6:40 PM

I understand that what the officer(s) did was wrong and they should be punished, but I am getting sick and tired of blacks that always find a reason to blaim everything on whites. Yes it was white officers on that scene. But dont forget there was a black officer on the scene also. Now, if you can explain to me about how places like La, DC, Baltimore and other inner cities are infested with drugs, guns, and homocides. You can but you don't want to. The majoity of homocides that occurr in this country are somehow or another related to drugs and a large portion of the people commiting these crimes are blacks. But I know, your going to blame that on the whites too.To all people that have time to sit around and face blame on a certain group of people, get a life. Find a job and work for a living.

I guess you're right

by Jim Friday, Jul. 12, 2002 at 11:53 AM

This is in response to Thompson's post. I guess you're right. "Black" people must just be inherently more violent and prone to drug use and crime than "white" people. It must be that they prefer to live in the "inner city". How else to explain that inner cities always have some many dark people in them? How do "inner cities" come into being anyway? Must be that you just put some poor black folks in there and voila! Slum! It probably doesn't have anything to do with lack of money for decent schools, lack of money for jobs, lack of money for healthcare, lack of money for clean air and water, lack of money for childcare and parks. Lack of money say the politicians. Sorry kids, we couldn't afford to give you nice vegetables in your school lunches. Here's some irradiated Salisbury steak. Plenty of money for bombs though. Hmmmm. And let's not forget that the CIA actually brought the drugs and the guns into South Central LA. As for getting a job, I don't know how much WORK you do for JUSTICE but that is a full time job.

ghetto formation

by dwlb Friday, Jul. 12, 2002 at 6:57 PM

When the federal government spured the creation of suburbs in the 1950's, they gave low interest loans through HUD to white americans, blacks were denied to opportunity to purchase suburban homes. The racist attitudes of employers and real estate men preserved the racial covenants and segregation laws that had existed in the past. Furthermore, by building projects in high density poor black neighborhoods, the government sanctioned the continuation of segregation, poverty and racism. These cops do this sort of stuff every day--it shows the power of video cameras to defend residents from the abuse of arbitrary police power. and if the pigs get off free... Remember April 22, 1992......

look at both sides

by Chicago cop Saturday, Feb. 28, 2004 at 12:25 PM

I don't think it is possible to say this is police brutality based on 2 photos. It is possible (and very likely) that the suspect being arrested was resisting and putting the officers and the public in danger. The police are trained to subdue arrestees WITHOUT injuring them, but this is not always possible.

Be Honest

by NC Officer Sunday, Apr. 18, 2004 at 6:37 AM
kannapolis911@yahoo.com yeah Sure

It is unclear what has occured here, but it is clear that an officer is maintaining control of someone whom he has in his custody. So what...? What makes this police brutality? Officers are faced with dangerous situations that not even the hardest people would want to encounter... The main goal of any Officer is to go home at the end of his/her shift. When you have served in a Law Enforcement profession, you will understand. If you never do, remember that Officers are people who are doing a chosen profession, doing the best that they can! Thank you for your support.

This is war

by the black kid Saturday, Sep. 18, 2004 at 2:20 PM

This 16 year old kid was in handcuffs... Like one stupid NC officer noted, this kid was in the officers custody AND controlled. There is no reason to beat this kid up. Footage of this was shown all over the news. This kid didn't have a weapon. He was joy-riding in a stolen car. He got out of the car and barely ran before surrendering. Why in the hell would a gang of peace officers feel the need to jump the kid? Because the police are just that - a street gang. And when the black street gangs finally realize that that's all it is...a rival gang..and that they don't have to obey or accept their enforcement of the law...all hell can break loose. (FREE THE HELL-BOUND!) Because there obviously won't be any peace until somebody makes these cowards clean up the mess they made...until something is done about the senseless killings and beatings by badge-wielding law enforcement and "law-abiding citizens" in this country for too many hundred years. There is absolutely no reason for this. This is an example of why I'm glad black kids do carry guns. I hope they start using them, too. There can't be peace until they get a piece. T.he H.ate U. G.ave L.ittle I.nfants F.#cks E.verybody (doesn't it?)

i guess you dont watch the news

by avatar Friday, Jan. 28, 2005 at 7:05 AM

actually these photos are taken from a video that was played on the news repeatedly. the subject was not BEING arrested but was ALREADY in the handcuffs. he was first slammed face first on the hood of the squad car, then he was punched in the face shortly afterward by the officer in the middle. all of this while WEARING the handcuffs.
so go ahead and try to dismiss this case but the fact is that police are trained to TAKE AWAY freedom. that is their job in a nutshell. granted a lot of people deserve to have their freedom taken, but not john q public. so think about that the next time you search someones car or conduct an unconstitutional DUI checkpoint. You know the Nazi SS had the support of the government but that doesnt mean they had the right to do what they did to innocent civilians.

What a powerful image

by Nielsen Wednesday, Sep. 28, 2005 at 6:20 PM

This image deeply saddens me. How can anyone say the police are neutral after looking at this picture. They have clearly crossed the line of simply arresting the individual and have begun acting out some kind of revenge or personal vendetta on this poor man. The role of the police as set out by Sir Robert Peel in 1829 was to serve and protect within accepted community guidelines. I doubt this poor man's community would have approved this type of treatment. And to the comment one gentleman made about this NOT being a case of racism because there is a black officer in the picture I have to say, hold on a minute! When you, being or any race, are being beaten by all MEN of one race except one you might think that comment over again. The balck officer might just be going along with his white cop friends to fit and not be ridiculed by his pig buddies later on. Despite the issue of race clearly there is another issue of class, don't get me started......

the whole story

by police Saturday, Oct. 15, 2005 at 9:46 AM

I think a lot of times people form an opinion before they know the the real story. Clearly people have formed an opinion based just on the picture they have seen. Like many cases the first part of the story is left out. You have no idea if the subject that was arrested was combative or not, you also have know idea if the injuries occured before or after he was placed in cuffs.
For all you know there may have been an officer hurt at the time of first contact with this subject, and the officer is not pictuerd. You also have to understand that people can still fight while in cuffs. I as a cop have been in several fights with people who are cuffed, and the situation was not resolved till more officers came to help. I know officers should always keep controle of their anger, but it's still hard knowing that the majority of the people we deal with are the worst people our the would has to offer. This is no reason to just beat on people and yes it does happen, but in every group of people there are bad eggs it doesn't mean they are all bad. and as for this picture I can not form a good opinion because I do not know the whole story. Remember when scary things happen most people run away. When the police are called know matter how scary the situation we run right at it.

Over the line?

by Memyselfi Friday, Dec. 02, 2005 at 1:33 PM

Over the line? Hmmm, where you there? What did this guy do before being arrested? Is he actively resisting? For somebody to pass judgement of these Officers is crazy and it's even crazier when somebody gives a biased opinion on what he thinks Cops are, "Cowards". So here we are with a picture that so saddens somebody who probably has no idea what the Officers were dealing with. I would venture to say that the silent MAJORITY of the people have enough common sense and believe that the Police handled this situation is accordance to their policies. Race probably had nothing to do with this arrest, but I'm sure these officers will have to deal with these accusations. I guess people will be happy if Police only arrested people of their same race so racial profiling isn't accused or better yet maybe everybody will be happy if arrests aren't even made. I have never sat back and told my dentist what he should be doing when filling a cavity, so why should it be any different here? These officers have a responsibilty to get home safe to their familes and when they are killed these same people say, "They were doing their job". Well I'm here to say that the Police get paid to do their job and to take crap from time to time, but they certainly don't have to eat it.

How would you know?

by AyatollahGondola Friday, Dec. 02, 2005 at 2:25 PM
AyatollahGondola@Aol.com

There are certainly more ways to find out about all cops without exposing yourself to arrest or questioning under distasteful conditions.
There are ride along programs
Community and charitable police events to volunteer for
Meetings at the police station you can sit in on

All you have to do is make the effort to get involved. The majority of them are compelled to work one or more of these programs, and many volunteer; and believe it or not, they would rather meet evil bastards for educational purposes instead of punitive ones. I'm sure that there are a few with mentalities just as you mentioned, but the best way to address that is from the inside looking around, rather than from within the confines of your personal complaint department.

Constables On Parole

by AyatollahGondola Friday, Dec. 02, 2005 at 7:33 PM

Is it December already?
Cops are restricted by procedure these days. They're required to act in "overwhelming force", rather than on thier own, although I'm sure they'd really cherish the thought of singularly charging into an unknown situation in some dark building with the threat of murder or mayhem hanging over their heads while in the process protecting both the innocent, and the evil. (Yeah, they're required to do both). I don't know how you are supposed put a pretty face on for the camera under those circumstances, however I'll take that up at the next community input meeting. Oh, and by all means, let's hire only the ones who hate their work. that should improve the way they look while they're doing it

burp - fart - puke

by Evil Bastard Friday, Dec. 02, 2005 at 9:49 PM

Ok AG. Suppose you were trying to get into your house and the neighbors call he cops. Of course they come in and you walk down your driveway to show your ID and they pull a shotgun on you and hold it against your head.
After joking with you still at 12 gauge point for a interminable time they check and verify and re check and re verify still at 12 gauge point and they seem disappointed when they find it is your house.
Then they have fun loading and jacking shells from their toyes while they finish off the harassment by strip searching you in your own driveway.
Then later in life they become frightened of the woman who refuses to turn over your children for visitation and ask you why you can't deal with it when they were called to keep the peace during transfer.
Real heros.
Even the detectives who seem to be brighter are lame. If I had the tools of their data base I could enforce my own laws. Cops are useful in traffic.

You remind me of a small yapping dog that used to charge out of the lap of its porch chair cushion to try and nip with its tiny little teeth at my ankles.
It was fun to watch the expression on its little face change when I popped a marble off its but with a pocket slingshot.
Sure made my day.
After that it would watch me bicycle right on by without moving from its comfortable little cushion.

Evil Bastard to the couch

by AyatollahGondola Saturday, Dec. 03, 2005 at 2:55 PM

There-there, poor soul,
I've been on the recieving end of that shit too, although its' been a few months. I could say you need to learn how not to look like a victim, but I don't want you regurgitating all over your keyboard.
Yeah, cops have to treat most of us like the enemy until they know better, mainly because they have been down the same path as you mentioned but usually going to someone elses' house instead of their own. Part of the problem with us protectees' is that we spend most of our waking hours trying to keep out sight and mind of local police as opposed to getting to know them and they us. The best defense against tactics and responses like you pointed out is having them know you like one of their children. Once you get involved with them on a weekly or even monthly basis, they get to know your voice, form, and whereabouts, and you will then be given a lot more leeway, if not the respect you so rightfully deserve.
The trauma caused by what you mentioned is hard to overcome I know, but just like putting a leash on your puppy so he doesn't run into traffic, there is usually the accompanying jerking and whining until the trip is over. But it is best for everyone involved, and it usually doesn't last too long. As for overcoming the history; It is best to get back on the horse, or in this instance, meet and pet it.

OK AG. You have your fun and ride around in high powered screamers with the gumball on top and the 12 gauge and what ever sidearm and the city or county or state or fed authority behind you and feel as if you're the victim of unfair or unwarranted resentment.
Then a kid who was cuffed and beaten is shown and you go into a tailspin trying to justify it while piling your phobias on me in a last ditch effort to patronize me and others who share my feelings.
yah.

Christ sheepdog, is there ANY facet of civilization that you AREN'T angry and fearful about?

You're so worked up over the evil cops that you can't even form coherent sentences anymore.

It must suck to be you.

Odd are

The police make thousands of arrests without tripping an alarm the likes of what is shown. And just as I mentioned, he was a stranger to them. You can blow off on this one event, but that will do a lot less towards preventing it again than doing what I mentioned. It's harder for them to beat the crap out of someone they know, especially when they meet under better circumstances first.
But by all means, try your approach for the umpteenth time before patronizing them.
Let's see.....Rodney King gets published
No changes...
Rampart goes public
Not many changes....

Damn, you're getting weird about me, fresca. I simply can't be everywhere you imagine me to be, even if that allows you to feel as if I'm the only one on this newswire who posts views contrary to your viewpoints from the padded cell or iron lung.
And BTW, it's okay if you want to give me such a significant surname, but at least capitalize 'Sheepdog'.

:>)

sheepdog, your posts, replete with your awful spelling/typing/sentence structure skills are obvious a mile away. Your silly fears and juvenile anger are always there.

That's Okay, girl

You can hold your conceptions of the world tightly and dearly 'even' when ( like now and most often ) wrong, and you feel the need to.
The title of this header is 'Protect and Serve', not how fresca is compelled to make herself look silly. And deranged. Perhaps you should start a new thread with your useless, pointless and paranoid spare time. Something like fixating upon me all of your own mental problems, as you are so fond ( could it be a compulsion and obsession to fill a crippled and hate filled life? ) of doing.
Kinda funny in a pathetic, sad and readily apparent way.
Oh my, I've been mean when I shouldn't be; at least to individuals with your high profile anti social psychoses and pathologies that any reader could see for themselves.
And just because you were raised with another language, that doesn't mean the words you don't understand are misspelled or that the sentence structure is incoherent, it means you need to study English more intently..

It is a difficult 2nd language..

This header 'To Protect and Serve' reflects the approach that law enforcement has adopted in parallel with the militarization of its personnel and tactics to protect property instead of the common rights of the citizenry.
From being a piece keeping force to being a method of the ruling class to intimidate and instill fear.
Shows like 'COPS' are crafted to normalized the brutality and show what they want us to believe, in degrading situations, that are supposed to 'entertain' us.
I think that they are vehicles for conditioning the populous into accepting state sanctioned brutality as a way of life.

Yeah sheep, my mistake. This post of yours is a veritable stylesheet of perfect sentence structure and composition.

And as for paranoia, well, only one of us is afraid of the NWO killing us with chemtrails and the "shadow government" attascking us with remote controlled airplanes.

And it isn't me.

Tell EB, when he checks in, to either,
A. clean up the grammar and punctuation
or
B. make sure he signs his posts as me.

And this thread STILL isn't about fresca making herself look silly. It's about police misconduct.

Considering the "police misconduct" you speak of is fairly nonexisrent and trivial at best, this thread really is about your weird need to post under different handles.

Hell, it's your awful spelling and grammar that gives you away as much as your delusions and paranoia.

Grand Theft Auto = Asswhoopin

by Loss Prevention Friday, May. 05, 2006 at 10:12 PM

Hey, if you decide to jack a vehicle, you should get ur ass kicked. As some of u liberals stated, the hoodlum was joyriding in a stolen car and the he ran.

It is always so nice to pull a race card when u fuck up, isn't it. Well let me give u A FACT:

In my profession, I have arrested many people primarily for shopliftig. I live in an Area where black make up about 5% of population. But 50% of people arrested for shoplifting are BLACK. What an interesting phenomena, so I'm guessing the excuse would be "we are sticking it to the white man."

Well this aint the 1800's get a fuckin job MORONS, and if you are African American u'll probably get it easier than I ever will.

Um... in 1800 a lot of Black kids had a job. It was called being a slave, making their owner rich.
