And who (besides some idiots on this board) could blame a kid for picking up a slingshot after what happened to his cousin.
I wouldn't blame anyone for being angry at that situation. But choices (whether good or bad) have consequences (both good and bad).
If the police came into my home and killed my family for no reason, would anyone be mad at me for driving to the police station to shoot the people who did it? Probably not, but it's fully expected that they will kill me when I do so.
People have freedom of speech (among other things), but not freedom from consequences.

A teenager in a protest using a slingshot at the cops, if that's what happened, justifies an arrest. It doesn't justify a beatdown. Don't give me that shite about "actions have consequences," as if cops aren't moral actors of their own and police brutality is some abstract force of nature.

You dumb shite, Palestinians under the Israeli occupation don't have freedom anymore than Jews did in Concentration camps. Your equating a fascist regime engaged in ethnic cleansing and genocide to right in a civilized state is disgusting.
