re: "Fruit of Islam" coming to Troy rally against police brutality tomorrow (P 25)

What if he fell running with the gun?? We don’t even know what happened

Also, the parents of this kid should be jailed or if nothing else charged with neglect. Raise your kid right and this shite won't happen. You don't teach them to run from police. Whether stealing or not, if he didn't have any business being behind that business...he should not have been there. Again that is the parents fault. You want to change the way stereotypes are applied? Quit making them true. To truly change this shite, parents need to start being charged to some degree for shut their kids do. This country has lost accountability and that's what's needed to fix all this. This situation occurred simply because of lousy arse parenting from probably long ago. We have to break the chain/cycle somewhere though...and need to start charging parents for their kids actions because they're responsible for their youth, or should be, and this whole situation starting in the first place.

that cops typically focus on arresting poor people for drugs despite wealthier white people using illegal drugs at a higher rate

Please show us where you fond the facts that wealthier white people use illegal drugs at a higher rate.

His results are all from 1 hard impact,probably being taken to the ground from a standing position.
There is no abrasion from sliding across the ground,and not even skin ruptures from licks against cheekbones,jaws,teeth etc.
Different licks leave boundaries,it's like a story that you can read,If you've seen it enough.

This is closer to the truth than the cops beating this kid and I'll tell you why I believe this. A friend of mine came by the shop after spending 3 days in the hospital from having a brain bleed. No, he wasn't beaten by cops. He tripped over a baby gate in his house and hit his face on hardwood floors. Fractured his cheek and orbital bones in 4 places. His face looked almost identical to this kid to the point they almost had to place a shunt in his head to relieve the swelling.

If the kid was resisting to the point the officer decided to take him off of his feet, it isn't unreasonable for a blow to the concrete to have the same results as what occurred to my friend hitting hardwood floors. Just food for thought. And like some of the rest on here, I'll wait for more info before passing judgement.

Looks a bit extreme, but let’s wait until the facts come out.

If the kid was indeed fleeing and had a gun, then resisted arrest...

This is one case where we don’t need to let the facts come out

Thanks for confirming what I figured all along based on your posts.

In this day and age there is no excuse to beat an AA kid like that unless you harbor some serious racism and sadistic tendencies.

I'll wait for the facts to come out, thank you. Your ilk have burned down too many cities based on lies at this point.

I hope they hang and the Troy PD gets sued for 12 million.

If they are proven guilty AFTER the facts come out, then yes. Otherwise, allow those of us who are not mentally ill to discuss this from this point forward.

Was that kid up to no good? Maybe.

Did the cops go overboard? Maybe.

Will folks take sides before the facts are out? Definitely.

Will this result in a shitstorm? Definitely.

BLM has it wrong. The police are equal opportunity abusers. The difference is that when the police abuse a black person, other black people get angry. When the police abuse a white person, other white people assume that person deserved it.

There are serious issues with the way police departments train their officers. There's also the militarization aspect.

In general though, there are so many laws on the books that they can find a crime if it suits them. So they look at the majority of civilians as law breakers who just haven't been caught yet.

"We don't know what he did, but I'm sure he did something. Let's kick his arse and then sort it out later. "

Besides all of that, police unions are evil. They're even worse than teacher unions when it comes to preventing union members from suffering consequences for their bad actions. It's not a coincidence that, when Scott Walker busted the public-sector unions in Wisconsin, he left out the police union. Police unions are as powerful as they've ever been and they're getting stronger.

Unless he had fingerprints on the 'stolen weapon' he just dogged a class 2 felony and five years in the pen, and that arse beating might have been worth it, if he learns from it.

2nd chances are rare today he might wish to look at it from another angle.
