Try 75-100 years ago and you might have a point though.
Contrary to popular perception, civilization existed 50 years ago. People had cars/trucks, central AC/heat, television, refrigeration, telephones in most homes, microwave ovens even. 50 years ago there was an active space program.
MLK was assassinated 50 years ago.....think about that for a second

when this was first released there was no audio from the police. They just released it. The cop knew it wouldn't look good, even chuckled at the thought of it a few times. Listen to the link.

What was it last month or 2 ago a 9 year old kid got assassinated by thugs to punish his family?
Reagan had an assassination attempt in the 1980's too if you wanna go political.
None of this has to do with leading a criminal suspect down the street by a rope.

What are their advantages in Galveston? I can see their usefulness in places like Bourbon St and NYC where there are large crowds, dense groupings of people, or the need for crowd control. I don't see any of these issues in Galveston.

you're the one that has his panties all up in a wad..
I said 50 years ago he would have had it around his neck and would have been dragged to the police station.
Maybe I should have said 55 years ago

My college roommate's county in Mississippi fought desegregation up until 2016, their final scotus appeal was 62 years after brown vs board.

The other cops were caught up in an officer who was shot at the time so there were no available police cars in the vicinity when this happened.

Bloody Sunday
quote:
On March 7, 1965, Alabama state police and volunteers “tore through a column of Negro demonstrators with tear gas, nightsticks and whips,” in an attempt to stop their march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama in the name of equal voting rights for black Americans. Footage of the brutal attack on peaceful demonstrators galvanized civil rights activists; the Voting Rights Act, which bars racial discrimination in voting, was enacted five months later.

If the arrested were white nobody would care. Sometimes you make do with what you have and aren't thinking "Does this look bad?" I mean it's not like they're pistol whipping the guy THEN using the rope.
