Correct , it’s overly judgemental and quite arrogant , I think . Granted , situation didn’t look good , but I would defer to OTHER TRAINED LEO PERSONNEL and their judgement of the situation before I would be proclaiming anything they did to be excessive . Moreover , I certainly wouldn’t be offering a description as to how I would have handled it better when I’m not even a cop!!

Excellent post , is that true ??

Now , having viewed the video , I would ask this to all: do you feel the rioting in the city was A justified Response to the alleged use of excessive force on the girl by the cops ? And if so , why is looting, burning and rioting justified ? Further , would there have been a similar response if the “victim “ had been white and / or officers black ?

Just viewed it ; to be honest , it was kind of hard to follow . The camera was off to the side a lot and not focused on the girl or the officers, so it’s hard to tell exactly what’s going down between the girl and the cops . Lot of yelling , lot of crying , lot of admonishments by police but , other than that , very difficult to conclude a whole lot from it . It appears they were suspended pending an investigation anyway so , I’m sure they regret it now . I’d like to hear their explanation as to why that level of force was applied , I guess .

No really , hadn’t seen it cuz I was t aware was posted lol; just found it though and I’ll check it out

I needs to see me this video ; did any one post ?

We are ? Where did it say on the thread that you need to adopt a position on whether the police were justified or not In this sordid affair? I must have missed that !! Im pointing out that many of us jump to conclusions without knowing the entire facts ; I’m noncommittal till knowing more . You appear to be more comfortable with pronouncing them ( ie , the cops ) guilty and in the wrong without knowing squat ; THATS what I’m saying . Your dealing in absolutes in your assessment and , with all due respect , that’s where I think you’re Going wrong , at least , till more info is made available ( cuz you may be right about the excessive force thing but as it stands right now , you don’t know !!)

OJ’s guilty as hell; just like the Dems are in regards to election fraud !!

I don’t know , sounded pretty convincing to me , and this was an ex Obama administration guy . I think they said he was assistant energy secretary or something .

You’re getting hung up on the 9 year old thing and do not know the all the facts ; neither do I . If it was unwarranted , I’m with you , til you know , I would reserve judgement

In jail ? Throw him in without knowing the facts then ? That’s a little harsh

Didn’t say that either ; I don’t see it in black and white terms like you appear to . That’s neither a criticism or an affirmation , just an observation

Now who says I’m in favor of that? Did I say that ? You’re jumping to ALOT of conclusions

Correct , hyperbole coming from both sides , which is typical

Yeah , and their products are such crap too. Hoping we can start making a lot of our own and very soon. Who knows , we may be forced to eventually !!

Sucks man , sorry to hear that

Patience , My son and it will all come out in time

My misspell

Maybe , but it’s the way I took it . Why Do you say , do you know him?

Really , who stole a car ?

And how did the parents react to the pepper spraying ? Did they protest or go along with it?

Yes , I’m afraid we’ll have to. My feeling is They would be criticized no matter what they did , considering today’s political climate
