I know all about it.
According to local reports, is it what it looks like at a glance?
I should add: You have some local news that is... totally awesome!
Pens. Flyers. NHL conference final. Let's get it on!
Go Pens!
GO FLY BOYS!!!
the police state is upon us
Those poor beaten citizens had just spent the earlier part of the eveing shooting up the streets hitting 3 innocent people .....while being survailed by the police mind you ....so they deserve every nightstick hit and every kick to the teeth they received. Fuck-em.
X2... That video is kinda out of context in that they didn't really give us the background. How many Philly cops have been fataly wounded this year? And how many more just shot and wounded? If I were a cop there I think I would be breaking skulls myself.Originally Posted by MrDark71
Hint: If you don't want to be profiled.... don't FIT the profile. Young black men that dress like thugs are given a profile for a REASON. Stop acting that way, and the stereotype will go away.
I know I'll sound like some kind of crazy idealist here, but I think the justice system should dole out the justice, not cops. They arrest people.Originally Posted by AuGmENTor
If cops don't want to get shot at, they should be librarians.
I agree there is no context here for that video, but I also don't think there is a right context for cops beating the shit out of "suspects".
Point taken sir. Cops should not play judge, jury, and executioner. But I will make allowances for them being human and responding as such to a situation that is horseshit to start off with.
