I'm not bleeding heart or liberal. I do wonder how a 16 year old kid was able to put a gash on a 200 pound policeman. BTW do you think this doesn't happen to white people too? Back when you were mouthing off to cops, there were very few with police departments with Ninja-SWAT team mentality. They didn't even have SWAT teams then.

It's very telling that the video appears to show two of the policemen trying to pull one of the policemen's hands away. They are from different police departments too. Reminds me of Miami post-Elian, when many of the Miami cops were using force on women, children and grandmothers, and the Coral Gables and Hialeah police said they didn't want any part in it.

That's good news.

I never said that. I said very few people care unless it's a "minority" perp and a white cop. The media will see to that.

Yep....and underclass thuggery from all races wasn't what it is now either. BTW, I'm no cheerleader for SWAT jocks...some of them I'd place in the JBT camp...some ..not all

That's real nice. I thought Elian should have stayed here. I had a place in Miami first on Brickell for 2 years and in the Gables for 4 years. I once saw 2 black Miami City cops beat an employee of mine on Dodge Island severely to the point of losing total bowel control and total unconsciousness while he was cuffed because he uttered the dreaded word "myatta" at them which is the "N-word" in gutter Spanish. When they finished with him, I remarked that they were no better than the Klan and they politely asked me if I wanted "some". I declined and went to bail out my chum and see that he got to Jackson Memorial Emergency. His offense "being drunk and arguing with the Cops while trying to reboard my cargo ship at the dock." He was my Captain and he was from Barranquilla.

I'm no stranger to rowdy hombres with badges. I'm just not as emotional as you folks are about it.

Now....I am going to bed. I'll reply manana if you need.
