Instant and total defense of a buff cop manhandling a young girl in a bikini. It makes my fucking heart hurt. I'm positive if shots were fired and someone died they'd be saying she somehow deserved it. Of course the foxhead junkies on the scene who precipitated it would have loved to see someone get killed.
As much as I dislike Al Sharpton, his National Action Network could be put to use protesting immediately outside every police station in the country where cops do this. Sit-ins where everyone, EVERYONE sits with their cellphone cams pointed in the direction of the cops.
Like I said, it makes my heart hurt.

(3,252 posts)I know what it was like on the scene. It did not seem like a crisis situation. The cop was way, Way, WAY over the top.

(21,925 posts)like Saturday Night Live. Some kids in a sandbox get into an argument over who owns the sand shovel. A cop arrives on the scene, doing somersaults as he draws his gun and points it at the children and then starts slamming them into the sand and sits on them.
I don't own a cellphone and don't particularly care to own one but I have to say I love them for being able to catch disgustingly violent and racist cops in action. Knowing they're likely to be caught on camera is maybe making some of them think twice (except for the extreme hotheads who probably stop thinking when they are getting emotionally carried away).
