People are making the cops out to be OJ Simpson. In reality, these are cops operating in a high crime area who are trying to subdue a large, unruly suspect who is creating a disturbance at the local hospital. In contrast, OJ murdered his wife and her fiance in a fit of jealous rage. It’s not remotely comparable. And yes, some perps do create a racket even the cops are barely touching them.
The press is making the dead guy out to be a Hispanic, grown-up version of Trayvon Martin. Meanwhile, an ambulance chaser is circling and setting the table for a multi-million dollar wrongful death lawsuit by trying to make sure the cops are indicted and tried in court. That way, even if the verdict is not guilty, the dash for cash can continue. I think he will find that the police union offers a much harder target than George Zimmerman.

I admit I don’t know anything about the specific incident in question. I don’t deny there are perps that need calming down from time to time, and sometimes they are physically powerful and hopped up on something. But it has to be looked at on a case-by-case basis, meaning no assumptions until the evidence is in.
It looks bad when participants on one side of the altercation destroy the evidence, which is what’s being alleged in the story, wouldn’t you agree? My point is “Why not use technology that’s available to keep that from happening?”
Here’s the problem with that scenario.
If Bush were President, it would show the government is against Latinos. Because Obama is President, the media has to cool its criticism of the government. If you live in a state run by Democrats, the cops can kick your ass and you better like it.
It’s like the homeless problem. Because Obama is President, there are no homeless people.
