I almost fell out of my chair when I read those quotes. Sure is strange for this day and age, what with the race lawsuit lotteries that are constantly being won.

Al and Jessie are deeply saddened.

Shows me that a man with character like his probably didn't do anything to provoke those cops. They should be relieved of their duties.

Why doesn’t anybody ever get angry with the photographers of these sorts of things, they are as much a part of it as the police for standing there and just watching it. At the minimum the they could alert the police they have a camera, which would be enough to deture any over use of restraint, so are they not accomplices?

NOPD Victim: It's Not Racism

'Course, I been banged in the head a buncha times...

[livius]

Maybe it wasn't racism, but it sure was brutality. Whatever made them do that?

I'm normally on the side of the police (because I have family members who are officers, if nothing else) and I thought they were perfectly justified (and non-racist) in the Rodney King episode. But this just amazed me and I can't even begin to imagine why they did this. If this guy wins bucks, he deserves them.
