She was walking in traffic.

Obviously a good reason to throw her to the ground, straddle and punch her over a dozen times MMA style. Yeh right on brother.

Here’s one you never thought of approach the much smaller subject take them by the arm, steer them to the berm, handcuff and put in squad car. Oh wait that’s just too much trouble and not as much fun as assault and battery.

Nothing I have said is intended to defend the CHP.

The connection was she was black, and in traffic.

As opposed to white with ID, as mentioned in a previous reply.

Good I’m glad you recognize that a cop beating a woman on the side of the road is not proper police procedure.

I feel both of the Obama’s are mental lightweights who got where they are by the pull of others with money...period. In six years, he has showed no leadership, strives to divide this country, and has fulfilled none of his campaign promises. Based on accomplishments, he is the worse President in the history of this Republic and I fear he has done irreparable damage.

“Anyone who thinks race is not a factor in these fatal encounters..”

Of course race is a factor in these fatal encounters. However, the author fails to realize that the racialist culture that promotes hatred of cops and a disrepect for lawful society is the cause. It is not that police forces are filled with racist white cops.

Who walks down the middle of the street? I didn’t see that behaviour in my neighborhood until the ghetto residents started moving in. I later found out that this behaviour is normal for them.

Who wears “snitches get stitches” t-shirts? Who tags every damn bit of public property and often private property? Who drops out of school because getting education would be “acting white?” Who calls any black conservative a “sell out” or “uncle tom?” Which culture has the “crabs in a bucket” syndrom?

Do I have to go on?

Listen Eugene, Race is surely a factor in these encounters. However, if you want to get to the root cause of the issue, look in the mirror and take an honest assessment of the culture being promoted by those that look like you.
