The man’s got a mob willing to riot for him, so be careful what you say.

As a black man, it pisses me off the way that perpetrators of crimes are treated as victims. Before the Jena 6, before Michael Vick, there was Rodney King, who was beaten by cops after he failed to follow directions after being arrested for speeding.
As Thomas Sowell wrote in 2002:
Why were the cops beating Rodney King? The politically correct answer is: Because he was black. But so were the other men in the car with him, when he was leading the police on a high-speed chase -- and none of these other black men was beaten. What was the difference? (snip)
They tried to wrestle him down but he was too big and strong for them. They fired electrified darts into him that were supposed to immobilize him, but that didn't get the job done either. Twice he got up and advanced on the cops. At that point, they had not had a chance to search him and had no way of knowing whether he was armed or not.
Arresting a huge, strong, and defiant man is something that most people have -- fortunately -- never had to do. You might think that this would make observers reluctant to second-guess whatever desperate measures were taken in this situation. But for some people, ignorance simply liberates them from the narrow confines of facts.
Even before King, there were the four young black men that demanded money from Bernhard Goetz on a New York subway car.
Two of the four men Goetz shot continued a criminal path.85 posted on

From Wikipedia.... After the riots King was awarded $3.8 million in a civil case... I forgot about that...

Must have not been a very direct shot if he was shot in the face with a shotgun and still talks.
