What does it matter? It isn't at all germaine to the issue at hand... except maybe to you. To me, I see a cop beating a kid... and 17 is a KID anywhere you wanna go in this country. It seems to me you are going well out of your way to bring up issues which are totally irrelevant to the fact of a kid getting beaten by a cop. I guess the kid should be grateful the cop didn't have a shotgun out while he was on the ground. He might not have lived to tell about it, given the propensity for cops to trip over nothing at all and blow innocent bystanders away... like the deputy did out in san berdoo... and WHY was the kid cuffed anyway? NO ONE has addressed that. If his DAD was stopped for having an expired tag on his car why was the KID cuffed? And why so many cops? Is it a felony in LA to have expired tags? Is it worse than bank robbery and the clown making the stop has to call in the whole world on the perp? WOW...
