The facts are still hazy, so I'll leave it at that for now, until some details become more clear. What is clear from the video is that boy was practically limp. If he was struggling, he certainly wasnt in the video. He weighed no more than 90lbs by the way the cop picked him up, seeing that he was subdued and cuffed there was no reason to slam him face first into the car, muchless to be punched. Its hot with no rain in sight, Israelis are being shot at airport terminals, and now cops are using excessive force. Thats all we need is any more tension in this town. |
He definately went way over the line with the kid! For once I am forced to agree with the NAACP. Will wonders ever seace. |
its best not to pay any attention to NAACP in this matter. it has all the potential to spiral out of control with rhetoric from groups like them. they are a biased party. its best i think to pay attention to the officials directly involved, not outside organizations that stand to gain publicity from it. Its most important that the integrity of the facts are maintained due to the ultra sensitivity of this. I've already heard so many differing facts from bothsides as it is. now another guy is coming forward saying he was beaten by the same cop. while entirely possible, its almost as if a band wagon is being made here. we just have to see because this town is incredibly senstive if not partial to these matters after the city burned in the past. some say, though i dont necessarily believe OJ walked because of said partialness. race baiting poltics stemming from the riots have plagued this city, from what i can tell, ever since and its so so so so hard to get to the truth when you have these vultures, from both sides trying to capitalize on these types of events. |
We have a local talkshow host who calls the NAACP the NAASCP. For - National Association for the Advancement of Some Colored People. In obvious other words if you aint Black thay don't want to know you. |
its already out of control, this case. the officer is now saying his nuts were grabbed and thats why he punched him. what if that IS true? is it justified? its one word versus another. If you look at the video though, its hard to see how the boys hands could reach the officers nuts. Who knows, maybe the other cops nearby can attest to it. doesnt explain the slamming into the car does it? now some loudmouths are saying this is EXACTLY an example of racial profiling. what? because a white cop stopped a black driver? If im not mistaken the two sheriffs deputys that made the original stop are latino. That doesnt even make any damn sense and is an example of this spiraling out of control. The Inglewood PD, only showed up after the Sheriffs called for back up. The gas station has about 10 different camera angles that also caght footage. Wait until those come out. Might shed some light. The thing that people should be most pissed about is not only that a cuffed adolescent was abused while in custody, clearly, but that the tax payers will probably have to fork out millions in the lawsuit. |
Self defense while suspect is resisting apprehension, sure. Once the handcuffs are clamped down, it's over. If he is still a danger/threat, they have leg irons in the car. there was more then one cop at the scene. No excuses for hitting the boy |
LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- The man who videotaped Inglewood police roughing up African-American teen-ager Donovan Jackson was hospitalized Thursday after being taken into custody. Mitchell Crooks was arrested on an outstanding warrant for petty theft with a prior conviction, driving under the influence and hit-and-run in Placer County, in northern California. UMMMMM, if there is a warrent out for your arrest for something like a HIT AND RUN, maybe it is not such a good idea to rat on the cops... they are gonna get you. |
