Simple fact, therefore the tape was edited.
The only time you don't see edited tape is when something islive, then I would be careful about belieivng that also.
TV stations no longer if they ever did have a reason to broadcast the truth, they only broadcast what they perceive the truth to be.
TV News is a rating race and if it bleeds it is going to be out there and if it shows the power structure in a bad light it is going to lead faster.
Dispite OJ I still believe in a jury of twelve over an eye of one (BTW I would have voted to aquit OJ because of the way the Police handled the blood evidence, violated basic rules of evidence). So we must see how the justice system plays this out before we start rioting in the streets.
A true friend is one who helps you bury the bodies.
What I saw appeared to be a cop having a bad day and simply overreacting.(Twice) An habitual abuser would have thrown a few more........
BS, and, he didn't just "get slapped".
No need bubba. I have eyes. I saw the tape. That donut eating bully needs to be in jail. Find a friend with TiVo and watch it frame by frame.
My father is a retired police officer. He would have arrested that jerk (the bully cop) on the spot and done his best to make him go to jail.
Nice wish. Here's mine in exchange: douse yourself in kerosene and set yourself alight if the cop's acquitted. But invite me over first to watch. Thanx.
So, does the jury get to decide on a verdict based on all of the available evidence, or should we just skip that inconvenient due process malarkey and move right to a guilty verdict???
8) Some people hate cops because they hate their dads, and hence all "authority figures."
Seriously. I think a lot of the crap cops have to put up with is the direct consequence of family breakdown in the general society.
Please tell me this was sarcasm.
Perhaps on TV, But there was post yesterday or the day before.. on FR that showed the complete tape, I have no Idea how to link but it was here.

Well, can you please view the Link and watch the Video, You're assuming I just fell off the Turnip truck or something, I know what I saw. That Kid was Dead weight when he was picked up off the ground, He was NOT struggling. He looked KNOCKED OUT COLD at the very least... Again I ask where is the Said "TAPES" from the gas station that said were going to be viewed? how come those aren't released to "justify this police officers behavior"? They were right in the gas station, where are those Videos? Odd we hear nothing about those anymore isn't it?

I'm not bringing up Rodney King, I'm not bring up O.J, this case has legs on its own merit. I agree with letting the Justice System play out, as it should be.(which is why I was offended with your first post to begin with) I'm not asking for anything less then that. As far as Rioting in the streets, I have never advocated that, Nor has any other poster here that I have read
So, does a jury get to decide on a verdict on Mr. Crooks' charges based on all of the available evidence, or should we just skip that inconvenient due process malarkey and move right to a guilty verdict (and the beating)???
"noRinoforme" joined only today. Makes you wonder why, doesn't it?
Win or lose, I'd love to see Cochran do that to the cop; then watch the cop deck him right in the courtroom. I would laugh. :^)
