Hey who you going to believe about the New Orleans beating?

[NNN0LHI]

The cops or your lying eyes?

1. My lying eyes

Damn that was the quintessence of cruelty.

[ladjf]

2. No further comment about that beating is necessary. Take those

sadistic bastards right to jail and prosecute them as the thugs they are. How could anyone think that extenuating circumstances were responsible for their behavior?

3. I'd leave that to teh jury that should try the cops

something forgotten

Innocent until proven guilty

That said, good luck to the DA finding a jury that has not been tainted yet.

And this speaks volumes

Now since I don't have to try this... nor I could be part of that jury, way too many reasons... they need to be convicted of assault and battery as well as authority abuse... the technical charges... and then serve the time. But is is now in the hands of the DA.

4. I believe the elementary school teacher

more credible than contempt of cop

[acmejack]

5. Why the nice police officers, of course!

It just appeared as if they were beating the crap out of that old man. In actuality they were merely "assisting" him in some manner, all in keeping with their motto "To serve and protect".

[NNN0LHI]

6. Yes they were attempting to help him. The police like to help people n/t

[Double T]

7. Cops appear to have used 'excessive force'.......

let's let ALL the evidence unfold before we become judge, jury and executioner.

[DS1]

8. When you watch the video through a pair of donuts you see a pretty

normal traffic stop :shrug:

Yes, it's gallows humor, I think those cops should be equally beaten.

[Sparkle]

9. I'll say here what I said in another thread..and I hope it doesn't offend

Just once I'd like to see black cops beat the sh*t out of a white guy for a change. Why does it always have to be the other way around? I am sorry for saying this but I am mad right now.

p.s. I am still :mad:
