    Who is not defenseless against the police? No one really and that is by design. The main thing is not to attack the police.

    Hundreds of thousands of cops, millions of interactions between police and civilians daily, a nation of 320 million people, and we found an anecdote.

    Shelby County District Attorney General Steve Mulroy is on the job for just a few months.
    When the evidence is right before your eyes this is how fast indictments can come down.

    When you don't see BLM marching in our cities, you'll know how the left plays it.

    My understanding is that he was just driving down the road, minding his own business and obeying the law, when 5 cops pulled him over and beat him to death for no reason whatsoever. Happens every day!

    well, tire learned that running from the police and fighting them is, and has always been, really stupid. he was a really stupid man, and he did not take to learning lessons. we also know that even when to officers are black some dong will try and make race out of it. here's a quote, try and keep a straight face. I could not.

    “What we can tell you about the video: It is appalling, it is deplorable, it is heinous … violent,” Crump said. “And it’s very troublesome on every level, because you have to ask yourself, yet again, we’re seeing evidence of what happens to Black and brown people from simple traffic stops.”

    let's note that the family is a group of liars, as he died three days later and not during the arrest. the notoriously simple crump lied and said that no one should die from a traffic stop- he ran from the police and fought with them. what we have is another example of the ghetto lottery and a family who wants some cash.

    I'd like to see the video before I condemn the officers, who learned that some people are unpredictable and will fight you over nothing.

    Oh sure. That's what the cops always say. The only thing that makes sense is that the cops, acting as hit men for the local KKK, were getting paid to track down and kill an innocent black child. That's what always happens.

    Just wait until the Crump team makes their case. I bet I won't be far off their claims.

    We should really talk about this problem outside of race.

    The police use of force is different from the race problems, but they do overlap.

    White people die because of the way police abuse force too. I recall one video of a white guy in his trailer following instructions and came out with his hands up and got shot in the gut.

    The fact that the officers in this case were black are just a coincidence. We should all care that many officers abuse force.

    I'll bet it's exactly what the family is claiming, since he's there to collect a check and has yet to be accused of honesty!

    @FreshAir

    I just thought you might take note here that all of the officers were black since if I remember correctly you made a statement the other day to the effect that the black officers don't use excessive force like the white ones

    Can you give an example that happened today? According to you it should be fairly easy.

    I'd like to see the video here before I make judgment but evidently no one else needs to see the video

    I never said black officers do not use excessive force, any cop can be bad, regardless of race - not as many out there it seems, but sure there is some

    Is the legal punishment for running or fighting with police officers death? Is it being kicked in the street by 5 police officers for three minutes causing internal injury (allegedly) and then death?

    That the offices were not only immediately fired with no resistance from the union and then charged should be enough to think something isn’t right here.

    Where are the cries of racism? Where is Sharpton? What racist crap is MSNBC spewing? Where are the folks on this board who literally said cops became cops so they can legally murder black people?

    Cops allegedly murdered a black guy and after five days this thread only has 21 posts? Talk about selective outrage. Not even blm seems to be touching this.

    More likely bent cops hired to kill someone by a gang of drug dealers.

    Because attorneys never twist the facts to fit their narative.
