Hey guys,
I have to vent...
Just seen the repeat of yesterdays highspeed chase for the umpteenth time. Guy flees from cops, runs red lights, gets pushed off street by unmarked squad car. Guy gets out of vehicle with hands in air, gets down on his stomach.
Then, the most incredible thing happens. All these guys come over and start beating the guy. Policemen. Upholders of justice have a guy on his stomach, on the ground, and they are kicking the crap out of him, kneeing him in the head dozens of times, and this guy has shown his white flag, has surrendered, is face down, not putting up a fight. war is over, surrendered, and they just start pulverizing him.
Good you say? Is this a 'normal' arrest? Is it ok for a dozen buff dudes hiding behind a badge to go beat the crap out of some guy? What if the dude they pulled over had just had the worst week of his life, lost his house, family, kids, job, a family member died of cancer, etc... Im not saying this is what happened, but in such a scenario, that can be the cause of a person doing such a thing. It isnt always drugs. That could be some good person down there that freaked out, and you would think the safest place in the world is with cops. But no....
Reminds me of that 'big cop' that shot that guy in the back many times. He was face down on the ground, hands behind his head. They were filming him without him knowing it from accross the street. Another high speed chase. Turns out the guy was on leave from the Iraq war, the big war, a fighter pilot of an F-16, being shot in the back multiple times.... (he lived)
Who do you trust? Who upholds the law? What is going on?
Bill
