It's like someone stated on the original thread: Cops are racist if they don't help minority victims of violence; yet when they intervene they're accused of police brutality.

The time has come to cordon off bad sections of L.A. and let the residents handle their own affairs.

It's called "entrapment", only this time the bad guys set up the Police.

Antonio Villaraigosa ran for mayor in part on the platform that he could manage law enforcement better and with more racial harmony than Jim Hahn did.

How's that workin' for ya, Tone?

I guess hitting a police officer isn't grounds for an arrest if you're a minority.

How confusing! We have Tony Muhammad and his two body guards, Marcus Mohammed and Steven Mohammed, arrested for assault on a police officer.

If they attack our police officers, then what's the difference between a Muhammad, a Mohammed, and a run of the mill Muslim Jihadist?

None, they should all be shot on sight.

Why did El Mayor use the word "priest" when listing categories of persons who are not above the law? Clearly Muhammad is identified as a "minister", there are certainly more ministers than priests in LA, is El Mayor being PC or doing some some subtle Catholic-bashing?

"In a news conference earlier Friday, Muhammad's supporters claimed police used unnecessary force during the arrest."

To these people, ANY force is unnecessary force. They believe they are indeed above the law.
