2. Excerpt:

Police say the officers got into a struggle with Fleming and were forced to use pepper spray. A short time later, Fleming became unresponsive and was taken to Cobb Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Edward Dubose, NAACP: "I stand here today and tell you there is no reason why a man who is handcuffed, pepper-sprayed and already subdued, should have died in police custody."

8. This is very sad

even before I clicked on this link I thought "must have been african-american". Racial tension is alive and well in this country, we just hide it better now.

10. And to take it a step further

let us not forget that old man in New Orleans who went out for a pack of smokes and got beat to a bloody pulp by 4 chickenshit barney fifes.

5. Perhaps he refused to make a contribution to the 'Opelousas Charity Ball'

Those Georgia police are very civic minded, I hear.

6. There's absolutely no reason for anyone to think race played any factor.

Just thought I'd get the "good white" perspective out there a lil early.

9. Screw my County

A bunch of far-right Yuppies sitting in their 700,000 dollar homes cheering to FOX NEWS, telling the poor, criminals, and foreigners that they deserve whatver the hell the government does to them.

SCREW THEM.

11. Right wing country "music" "singer" Travis Tritt lives there.

His family owns a good amount of the county. Their ownership goes back to the days of slavery, if you get my drift.
