    So, it seems like you want the whole city to go up in flames. A cop's life wouldn't be worth a penny if that happened.

    So you are all for lynchings? No trial, no due process, just hang them. How is burning down and looting private stores and property belonging to law abiding citizens "controlling thug cops"?

    The video that is available would certainly lead a reasonable person to condemn these officers.

    The surveillance video shows him cuffed and compliant.
    The cell video shows him cuffed, on the ground, not a threat and begging for help.

    Clearly he was murdered.

    Yet...

    Where's the rest of the tapes.
    Where's the body cam video?
    Where's the rest of the surveillance video?

    I am outraged but I don't yet have enough information to say much more.

    They are trying to bribe the medical examiner to omit the fact that the guy had a broken neck.

    Do you have evidence of people looting and rioting when the thug cop was murdering the guy in cold blood?

    I heard a good analysis this morning by Guy Benson--at least, I think it was Guy Benson--on Fox News:

    Sometimes, an officer has to make a split-second, life-or-death decision.

    If he decides wrong, an innocent person may die.

    But this was not one of those instances.

    The officer had nine minutes--nine minutes!--to release the suspect, even as nearby pedestrians were urging him to do so.

    And I suppose we will never know why he did not do so...

    He resisted when they were trying to get him out of his car, but then they get him cuffed and walk him to the sidewalk and actually sit him down there. Then get him up and walk him to the police car, no resistance there. As I said the one with him on the ground shows the fight was over and they had him under control. I think we have the one picture of the other two officers around his legs and feet. What were they doing during that 7 minutes? And again that gap between when he falls at the truck, intentional to resist as we often see happen, the going limp?, and then the other video. Why does the one cut off as he falls? I'd like to see that gap.

    Looks as if the current video evidence is not enough for some people. They are the ones who will always say 'yeah...but'.
    For some clear evidence will never be enough.
    Apparently one of the spree shooting school massacres was all the work of actors.
    There will always be some who refuse to see what is in front of their face.
    The nutcase element has to be built into the algorithm by those who seek the actual truth.

    The police chief told the officers to use restraint with the protesters (and looters). Only 5 arrests made for burglary. The police chief thinks that significant property damage is preferable to people getting harmed.

    From what I saw, police presence was more prevalent in the peaceful protest group with those folks being fired upon with rubber bullets, paint balls, flash bangs and teargas. Police presence in the Target, AutoZone and Dollar Tree area was almost non-existent.

    This is about FOUR officers why are they impunging the entire force? Obamagate is about a few high level FBI and CIA officials yet the left complains it is the whole FBI and CIA the right is attacking and that that is wrong even though it is not true.

    Yeah who are they going to get, will they hire people off the street now? Oh THAT makes it safer.

    Seriously. Almost every bogus post you make can be directly countered with real facts by a simple 30-second Google search.

    It seems pretty clear to me that the police had plenty of interest in defending property when the property in question was their police station. Less so when it was privately-owned businesses.

    The problem is that this "Justice" you speak of goes unnoticed UNTIL it gets some national attention.
    Didn't we just have another black man killed in Georgia by white cops and it was months until it came out?

    It's likely that hundreds of these cases happen every month and they just don't get the medias attention because it's covered up.
    That MUST stop.

    You probably wouldn't like it if every case of young black men killed by cops got media attention. Most of them would not reflect well on the deceased. I'm confident that that would be the case so often that it would be the source of stereotypes among the general public.
