I'm sure there is as well. But you know as well as I do that won't matter to the masses. All they will need to know is what's on that video. And all the media will focus on is that video.

You can bet your arse Obama won't be living in Chicago after his tenure is over as POTUS. And IMHO, ironically Obama had a great opportunity in office to improve race relations in our nation and instead has increased racial divide.

Well, I do find it very telling that this story has been ignored by the MSM. A local CBS station reported it something like a week or so ago and since then nothing. Had those cops been white, this would be getting wall to wall coverage on the major networks.

used to live in Chicago. it was great in the mid 2000s.
while I don't currently live there I can see it starting to slide backwards.
I always laugh at any northerner who comments on the South and the perceived racism there. I always say, "the most legitimate form of racism is segregation; and if you want to see segregation today, go to Chicago."

That chick (not cop) was charged with attempted murder? 
Thank God for dashcams.

I believe the female cop initial claimed the lady dragged her down the street in her car. That's where the attempted murder charge came from. I didn't see anyone being dragged in the video.
Funny how we keep seeing stories of cops claiming one thing but video proving they lied. Hmmmmm....

Same. Born and bred Chicagoans are ignorant of most things outside of the region and they turn a blind eye to happenings in their own backyard. That applies to a whole range of subjects, not just racism.

Again havent' seen the video, but what would be the "more to the story" that could explain that away?

Doesn't that have more to do with the class structure?

It looks like they were dragging the lady from her car and sprayed into the car at her, hitting the kids in the back seat. Right after one coped sprayed into the car, you can see the other cop turn his head toward the dash cam and laugh.

In my opinion there is no explaining it away. Nor is there any way to explain away lying about her dragging one of the cops so they could tack on a fraudulent attempted murder charge. Nor is there any way to explain away the cops starting this whole thing by pulling their guns and threatening to kill her just because she was in their way in that alley.

I'd say race relations haven't been this bad since the 60s. And instead of trying to help the situation, at every turn Obama has done things to make the situation worse.
