You can protest that you don't "hate cops" till you're blue in the face: you've convicted this guy without knowing all the evidence, and the only reason that seems clear to me is because you think cops are a cabal of goons, itching to pound suspects (especially black ones) and covering up for each other. That's HATRED. NOTHING you say can convince me otherwise.
Sorry that my rectitude is so offensive to you.
Not your "rectitude," O sanctimonious Poohbah---your willingness to condemn a man and his whole profession over six seconds of (possibly edited) video, and the tendentious, hysterical claims of those with every incentive to destroy not only one cop's career but effective policing in the LA area. That doesn't just "offend" me---it disgusts me.
No thanks, couldn't pay be enough to be a cop. No way....
The kid's attorney stated yesterday that he was considered mentally impaired/retarded.
I've been cuffed; I have longer arms than the arrestee did
Not to mention the fact that is someone does grab one's testicles, the natural reaction is to pull back away from the person, and use hands/arms to get them to release
The LAPD union needs to spring for a better breed of attorney--the guy the cop hired is just pathetic.
I do not understand why anyone needs to "authenticate the Tape Recording".
I'm sorry, I'm NOT buying this, A) that child was lifeless when he was picked up, I read today that he was knocked out cold.
The donut muncher would have had to have been humping the perp like a dog for the perp to have been able to reach.
Would'nt a prudent cop, at least, wear a jock strap when on duty? I know I would.
As far as I'm concerned, anything the police say (post Waco and Ruby Ridge) is a lie until they prove otherwise.
