You just don't beat up a 64 year old drunk, even if that was what he was. He wasn't threatening anyone.

[Senator Pardek]

You just don't beat up a 64 year old drunk...

Or an American exercising his 1st Amendment rights.

I agree. Look, I know that the NOPD are stressed, but come on. That guy posed no threat, was not fighting back, and the reporter was just doing his job.

Those "officers" need their badges pulled, their jobs yanked, and some prison time. I'm not a cop, but I am a soldier, and that behavior brings discredit on all of us that serve the people.

Anyone else connect the cop pushing the producer to the same guy that body slammed the 80 year old woman in her home......sure looked the same in both videos.

These cops should do 20 years hard time. The old man was doing nothing. The worst he could have done is mouthed-off. He did not deserve a beating for that. He should own everything in New Orleans after this. This kind of thing is not right.

Something is crazy in New Orleans when an elementary teacher is on trial for not being drunk and four police officers using Soviet-style tactics are not on trial. They should be deported.

"He wasn't threatening anyone."

He was singing off key. If ya let one do it, they'll all want to do it.

[ArmyTeach]

Should have been easy enough to determine his blood alcohol level, right? I hope someone did that...

Davis contends that he was asking the mounted policeman about the French Quarter curfew while hunting down some cigarettes. A second officer interjected and Davis cut him off telling him not to interfere since he was not even talking to him. Davis further explained that he is arthritic and may have appeared unbalanced, however, he was not drunk.

Drudge reports Davis' attorney stated that his client does not think that the attack was racially motivated.

Later, Davis, himself, expressed on news video that he "hates to say it", but, he does believe that race played a role in his physically brutal attack by NOLA police officers.

So, it appears that additional 'geriatric enforcers' were required and they were merely backing up their fellow officer in "subduing" a 64-year old man and, therefore, are definitely NOT GUILTY... just business as usual, exhausted and frustrated cops simply doing their jobs "enforcing the law."

A civil rights probe chanting the anthem SHOW ME THE MONEY can be heard loud and clear.

It's going to be interesting to see exactly how this case will pay off since the City of New Orleans is broke?

[MARTIAL MONK]

Sixty-four year old drunks are the only ones I can beat up anymore. It helps if they're 74.
