Here we go with another, “The cops are all bad and poor man is totally innocent. Let’s get rid of cops.” rant. Please, spare us. The small word, “resisted” is so underplayed here that we know better than to fall for this left-wing (or is it right-wing?) ploy. The previous assault with a deadly weapon charge is also ignored.

What is sickening is that this junk gets an audience.

Actually, what's sickening is that anyone could defend this as being justified to subdue someone.

Maybe I watched the wrong video. All I could see was backlighted black shapes with bystanders moving in front of them. It was like the Rodney King video done with sock puppets on a darkened stage. And like the Rodney King incident, we have no idea what happened just before the video started. Obviously it was something fairly significant, since there were 3-4 police cars there already, and two more came screaming up during the video. Also like King, this guy was strong enough to assault and injure two officers, so they are going to take that very seriously.

What’s most sickening to me are the actions of the father. His son is out roaming the streets somewhere, and Dad doesn’t know or care where he is or what he’s doing other than he’s probably off his medications. But now that sonny boy is in the hospital after an encounter with the police, Dad sees a windfall in his future, so he goes out looking for witnesses and starts accusing the police of murder. He sounds like an opportunistic scumbag.

Huh?

Did you watch the video?

Are you suggesting that cops are above the law and should not be held to a higher standard? Or that we are to turn a blind eye and deaf ear at this type of criminally negligent behavior?

Might I point out the fact that a number of LEO’s tasered the victim 5 times. Note there were numerous LEO’s on the scene. That means that merely grabbing and hand cuffing the victim was possible.

Now note that the LEO’s decided to not grab the man as he lay on the ground, instead the continued to Tase the victim - and they killed him in the process.

Are the LEO’s involved blacks, because if so, the situation looks like a racially motivated execution.

As for your post, let’s see - no about page and you post like what LAZ aptly called a ‘copsucker’. Are you doing this deliberately? Or are you posting in hopes of getting your Official Badge Lapper badge in the mail?

Just askin’.

They should have just shot him, huh..and that way they would have spared their knuckles from any damage caused by beating him to death.

Is that an excuse to kill him?

This was a savage beating - six cops on one unarmed man.

I don’t care what kind of “resistance” there might have been. Thuggery such as this is completely unjustified.

Speaking about his son's death, Thomas's dad, Ron Thomas, a former sheriff's deputy, said: 'His death was gang-involved, the way I see it. A gang of rogue officers who brutally beat my son to death.'

He said he now feels ashamed for having ever been a law enforcement officer.
