I saw on the local "news station" where the "police chief", a light skinned African American, said the officer did nothing racial not that they are speaking with the man who assaulted the 7 year old child. Here is the Fort Worth news video: http://www.wfaa.com/news/local/fwpd-to-respond-to-viral-video/376618551

What if we cannot see this video? What do the rest of us do when our internet connections are made too slow by the corporations? Use your words. What do you see? What do you feel? Is there justice here? What is the truth? What are you going to do about it?

We have to stop being voyeurs? We have to unify. There has to be more to being a progressive than just pointing out a wrong. This behavior just emboldens your adversary because he believes you to be impotent.

The only thing that power fears is the shade of a bigger power. The power of the people has always worried those in the seat of the powerful. Use it or lose it!

... they'd have to think up another specious reason for abusing him and the family.

It was the kids fault for littering? The little girl tries to calm her mom down and she gets thrown to the ground and could've have been tazed?

This piece of walking crap is on 'limited duty'..... how the hell is it he isn't suspended? Sweet mother of pearl. I wouldn't have had a conversation with the guy that assaulted a child, I would have taken him to the precinct. But nooooo, whitey white guy walks away and Mom gets assaulted by the pig. <sigh>

We are all and truly screwed if this tree d continues.

Can you imagine how well behaved white people would be if they knew calling the cops would summon black people with guns?
