Fine. Not many people are in favor of bad cops. But those accused should face a hearing or trial, not a lynch mob.

Do the speed limit, pay your tickets and obey the law. It’s really simple.

You buy into the argument that they are protesting the cops then.

This is a BS excuse that was thought up to cover up what they are really doing.

They are protesting the flag.

What does the flag have to do with cops?

Stop drinking the koolaid.

I call BS. You reference an event 25 years ago. It’s more like .0000002 percent. There is no statistical difference between black, white, yellow, brown in treatment. In fact, given the percentage of situations police deal with, I would bet less are mishandled in that community.

You take away the “assumption of righteousness” that they need to operate under, and the only cops you will have left on the job are the para-military ones. The people that will completely wipe out not only those who are “acting out” but those who are witnesses. The cure for this entire situation is Obama in the White House. He is Americas Mandela. He divides and he will make sure our country is an outhouse, just like South Africa. Communist controlled, government enforced black participation in business, and whites as third class citizens in the country WE built. Exactly like South Africa.

I am a cop hater but I did notice when I finally saw the FULL Rodney King video, when he stopped lunging at the cops, the cops did stop beating him.

One time I did get robbed by the cops, though, in return for doing nothing wrong.

other than having cash in my wallet.

I never trust anyone who refuses to put anything up on their home page. It never fails.

As shown at the officers trial that most of those 52 swings did not make contact with Rodney King.

As technology continues to improve and the cost of having a webcam in cars becomes more affordable (as well as posting videos to the cloud - both for the car webcams and witnesses videotaping from their phones), these instances of cop abuse will hopefully decline.

Cop to witness: "Gimme your smart phone!'
Witness: "Well, the video's already online."
Cop: "$%#^!"

Since I grew up in an era when PCP addicts were common, I don't have time for metrosexual snowflakes fantasizing about how some huge brick wall of a guy using that shit and shrugging off tazers like they were squirt guns could have been handled delicately.

Have you thought about testosterone therapy?

Another facist jack boot kisser coming outta yours!

Just because it's a law, it doesn't make the law JUST.

The founders knew this, that is why we have jury trials.

The king and his jesters can pass any law they wish. It is up to We the People to allow or disallow them to enforce it.

Not sure what time zone you’re in, but depending on your location...might be a little early for you to be hitting the bottle.

Or, not.

“... Rodney King ... did not need 52 swings with a nightstick. ...”

It’s not possible to determine “need” from a couple seconds of video. If the OP had the slightest experience concerning the military or law enforcement, or any knowledge of tactical situations, he (she) would know that.

Must be wonderful, to be so morally prissy: police and other security forces keep threats at a long arm’s length, while those whose cushy lifestyle is thus protected feel free to condemn.

My idea is to promote the idea of a national holiday JUST FOR COPS. The public’s appreciation will go way up-then there will be no need. Fear is a great motivator. Too many of you folks are blind to what’s going on. Too many cops are on power trips. As long as it’s the next guy and you folks are not affected you will stay blind until it’s your turn.

Asset forfeiture, wrong-address no-knock raids, deaf people who can’t hear spoken commands. Seizure of surveillance tapes from stores in which suspects were beaten to death by officers under questionable circumstances. “Accidental” erasure of tapes in which suspects died in police custody. Multiple officers standing around, doing nothing, when one officer assaults and kidnaps the chief nurse at a hospital who was following medical privacy laws (i.e., who refused to bread privacy laws). The list goes on.
