    Over here we see more videos of white American police officers attacking black people than attacking white people.
    Is that because police attacks on white people are so commonplace they don't merit filming, or because those with agendas post up the white on black police violence simply to make them look racist?

    Do you think before writing this stuff? Places like Baltimore, NYC, Minn. etc where the police misconduct occurs against black people are run by big government liberals.

    He paid for merchandise with a forfeit $20 bill. No evidence that he knew it was counterfeit. There is ample evidence to show that he fell, and was not resisting arrest. So, we have no idea if he was a counterfeiter, as a jury was not able to hear the evidence. He may have been completely innocent, paying with a counterfeit bill he received without knowing it.

    our cops tend to not be Progressives, let alone Liberals.

    Keep posting stereotypes, painting "obviously most" conservative Americans as racists. Please do. The Independents are watching. ;)

    post a thread about an unarmed black man getting killed by police, and some Conservatives will always chime in with "but....but....but!!!!"

    "You heard the cop say" ? Glad to know ALL cops are 100% honest 100% of the time.

    I wasn't aware that resisting arrest, while handcuffed and unarmed for a non violent crime was a capital offense punishable by instant street justice via execution.

    My next move WOULD NOT have been to execute him on the spot.
    That's not how the "Justice System" is supposed to operate in America.

    Cops are charged with "Law Enforcement". They are not entitled to execution except in self defense. This man was handcuffed and unarmed and not a threat.

    So you are arguing that we don't need courts and a Justice System? Just cops who can decide who lives and who dies?

    Ya know, that actually is the way it works.....in countries with a DICTATOR.

    Take up that hypothetical under that scenario. In this instance, the arresting officer is not Nazi or NKVD, and the crimes being investigated and enforced are not immoral or wrong. So your whole segue into the ether is meaningless.

    People get all p1ssy when somebody has the audacity to state the obvious, which is, 'don't break the law'. And then, invariably, some nitf**ck tries to defend that p1ssiness by claiming that not all laws are just. It has nothing to do with this situation.

    This guy was suspected with breaking a moral and just law (forgery). He then broke additional law, (resisting arrest), which aggravated the situation. Before you start mewling about 'resisting arrest is not a capital offense', everybody realizes that. Simple fact, though: the reason he was on the ground, getting roughed up, is because of his crimes. The reason this officer is under scrutiny and will likely be facing manslaughter is his crime.

    You must not know many conservatives. You are so far off-base on this. You are no better than a conservative who bases their opinion of all liberals based on one example of a loon.

    I've seen the exact opposite here. Do not promote racism.

    Not sure just how ft@rded one would have to be to come to that conclusion. I was addressing a poster who was defending the dead guy's actions by saying not all crimes are just or moral. But hey, keep on with your shrill, nonsensical emotional blather. suits you well.

    Furthermore, blacks have been led to believe that ANY interaction with the police is "racist" and therefore fullfil the prophesy that they will be killed by cops.. Chris Rock has some videos that show why people who argue with the cops, fight them, and resist arrest are more likely to suffer for their actions. The side of the road with a cop is NOT the place to make a case, just comply and take it to the judge.

    Possible, but a potential crime was reported, the police responded, and he resisted. Fell? What a ****ing joke.

    Nor does being a cop under investigation. But, if you cannot handle the term, don't use it.
