  • Anybody that says this is police brutality is an idiot. He was RESISTING ARREST after a gun and drugs were found. And the video begins after the officers had already chased him once. And as for the super intelligent woman who asks "how he gonna get on da ground when dey holdin' him?--- its easy. You stop resisting and comply, as opposed to obviously making every attempt to run again. And why isn't everyone at work? Can u say unemployment? Welfare?

  • cops and other guy are both wrong. The guy should have just dropped to the ground, and the cop that kneed him went to far too

  • Well in my eyes cops truly are people to who obviously took it to far and needed to be dissmissed .....

  • Stop resisting! To all who think it was wrong to hit the resisting person, you try making someone comply with a lawful order without some use of hard hand techniques and see how easy it is. The police have the right to strike you if you aren't complying with a lawful order-- you only have the right to remain silent, you don't have the right to resist.

  • I must agree with Big Blue...I have a quote that fits this video well I think the producer may understand..."don't start none, won't be none.." this punk wants to be a man by carrying a gun , but when it goes down he immediately calls for mama...those crying in this video about police brutality are the same folks in high crime areas....ironic? Here is your real problem....its a Thursday , all these people need to have their asses at work earning a dime...

  • STOPP RESISTING !

  • In this situation, I believe both parties were wrong. One the young man should have remained silent, got on the ground, put his hands behind his back, and that would have ended all the extra drama. For the police, the cop who was hitting the young man was wrong since he was already cuffed and unable to move. That move could be considered brutality!

  • all them pigs 4 one guy , i think its time for a reduction in law inforcement

  • In the charge of police brutality, We the jury declare all officers innocent of all charges .

  • I totally agree it isn't police brutality, he wasn't following the officers request which was to lay down on the grown there by he was resisting the arrest.

    But then again this aint nothing new with the black race, where ever they go trouble is sure to follow them.

    They know nothing better than the life style that they were brought up to know which is being a none productive social low down nonhuman being such as baby making, welfare, non educated, drug addactic, Jailburge low life lossers.

  • Refuse to cooperate with the Po Po's, your going to get the bull by the horns. Police brutality, they should have tased this piece of shit. I know the Greensboro Police have had their share of controversy, I don't like them either, but this guy clearly did not want to cooperate.

  • fuck da mother fuckin greensboro department

  • look at officer strawler aka dick head always messing wit somebody

  • he keeps saying get on the ground but how did they expect him to get down holding on to his pants!!! this is horrible why does happen just because its in the projects cops think they can do whatever they want!! i understand he had a gun and they needed him down to put him in handcuffs but that was uncalled for!! the punching and kneeing him... i feel sorry for that young man

  • really?????????/ for no reason?????????? when the cop clearly said get on the ground and the "CITIZEN" refused the command???? wtf is wrong with you people???? and im black and i can say that!!! the cop said get on the ground... and the boy started running and resisting..... i mean the cop had every right in the BOOK to use what ever force necessary to take him down... some of you black people needa get a grip on life...and im black and im saying that!

  • I agree that the knee to the back was a bit uncalled for...but the dude is clearly resisting arrest....If he would have GOT ON THE GROUND, like the officer repeated a Fahqin million times.. they wouldnt have had to throw his dumbass against the hood of the car...

  • 2:50 Ohio???? What is he talking about??? This was in Greensboro!!!

  • It amazes me that the people who live in this neighborhood are more concerned about criticizing the police for doing their job rather than the fact that they have thugs walking around with guns....

  • is dat officer stroud

  • hell yea it was some bullshit

  • I hope them cops get beat up to near death !!!

  • Does the subtitles say Guilty County? lol

  • accused of having a gun? HE HAD A DAMN GUN!! IT FELL OUT OF HIS POCKET!!

  • HE HAD A FUCKING GUN!! how the fuck is that brutality? they shouldve shot his stupid ass. not fighting back? what video are u watching?

  • This is Greensboro, we don't play, this shit happens every day

  • Its simple, if he did nothing wrong, and had nothing to hide, then why did'nt he just do as they were telling him.

  • This was a poorly handeld situation by the officers, but is in no way police brutality. The suspect is clearly resisting arrest, and is lucky he didn't get shot. Although he should have been thrown to the ground from the beginning to avoid the kicks and punches. Another thing, I don't understand how the public could take the side of someone how is dealing drugs and carrying a gun around their homes and children.

  • I agree I couldn't make it as a cop b/c all the bullshit people throw at you and you have to go by the handbook drugs are illegal so don't do it we have rules

  • This video is rediculous. The police are protecting themselves and the other citizens. This yelling and screaming and NOT cooperating could have easily been a distraction. Not only were they managing the person in question, others were coming up, possibly endangering the police. These are people too, doing their jobs to the best of their ability, protecting YOU. But they also have families and must take care of themselves. He was RESISTING arrest that is enough reason to use physical means.

  • ONLY IN GREENSBORO!!! i live like 5mins away from smith homes but i dont remember this happening last summer! thats messed up!

  • I hope them cops lost there jobs

  • wolfphoenix813 u need to shut the fuck up

    up need o be in jail

  • Next time he'll do what the cops say won't he? Bravo GPD

  • It took 90 seconds for two cops to detain one person?  That's poor.

  • 0:46 the cop CLEARLY kicked him for no reason.

    1:46 the white cop knees him.. FOR WHAT wasnt needed.. AT ALL

    ands its Guilford county.. not guilty idk if you meant to do that or not..

    ive been there the people aren't bad, the cops just go there and think everyone is doing/selling drugs or carrying a weapon.. the black community wouldnt have drugs if it wasnt for the government.. BUT IM NOT GOING TO GO THERE..

  • LOL I think you should go there. Cops don't "fight" the drug trade, they MANAGE the drug trade.

  • @copwatchnc yup; except you may just as well take out the quotation marks...

  • so pushin & yellin & tryna hit them ISNT fightin back? hahh, yall dumb as hell. he was fightin back, & thats why they brought in back up & kept beatin him. he was resisting arrest. yall are FUCKIN IDIOTSSS.

  • Wow, obviously nobody in Greensboro knows how to speak proper english. And also, does anyone there in that hood work? It seemed that the whole hood was there. Luckily it was two black cops whipping that kids ass.

  • WHAT THA FUCK? Why those police officers acting like its a bomb threat or sumfin? Did u see the second car just swirving onto the curb? FUCK DA POLICE! Was there any action taken against this?

  • shut the fuck up, and prosecute that faggot.. fight them how they fight us..fuck it

  • spoken like a true pig. fuck the police.

  • thats mesed up

  • i would kill both of those cops and im not joking

  • at least this guy is attempting to do something about this special breed of human. If you aren't part of the solution, you are part of the problem.

    Thank you Timothy Yates.

    How much more of this will the rest of you take?

  • People need to learn some proper English!

    "Yo, you got dis' shit on tape? He got the hole' shit on tape, yo!" xD

  • the cop stould be shot in the head

  • I guess you the "x" for your last name to mock Malcom X.  Why don't you educate you self on history Malcom X was about violent protest. Why don't you model you self after a great African American such as Martin Luther king.

  • That's fucked up!! Police aint Shit!!! How tha fuck can he get on the ground and the police had him jacked up like this?!?! and it must be somebody voting "thumbs up" to all the stupid comments.. get a life you assholes. Must be dumb crakers that never delt with police before.... oh, cause U always get off your pasty pricks! If i were a police, I'd pull over evey white person and give them a ticket for the hell of it!! CRACKERS!!

  • Let this serve as a warning to the rest of you niggers. When a cop tells you to get on the ground, do it! I know that your tiny little ears and tiny little brains have a hard time computing that information, that's why the police have to shout it 20 times before you do it. Cops have enough life experience to know that you dumb savages are motivated by two things, sex and violence, and they sure as hell aren't going to fuck you to get those cuffs on. You ignorant beasts deserve what you get.

  • LOL, holy shit.

  • get the fuck off the planet.

  • I have to thank you for taking the educated and organized route to stop the powers that be from taking advantage of you, this is a great example of taking action without becoming the same evil that is already trying to defeat you. I wish your team the best and look forward to hearing of your coming successes.

  • uuuw i hate dis shit i dn even wanna watch dis shit.... and da man dat recorded it went ta fuckn jail cus dees dirty ass cops will do dis shit 2 u.... get n dea n lie lik a mutha fucka, dnt deserve dis bullsht

  • ay i no dat man n i all ways heard about dis video bt neva seen it but damn das fuckd up dat shit make u wanna hurt sum fukn bdy, das fuckd up man 4real

  • Thats fucked!!!

  • The man had a gun. The officers were putting their lives at risk by playing around with this guy, they should've taser'd him and cuffed him immediately. What the hell Timothy X?  You don't have a problem with that guy walking around the projects with a pistol in his waist? I thought you wanted to make the communitiy better. At least now, that guy can't kill anyone with that pistol. Timothy, I use to admire you, but now I feel like your just another witchhunter.

  • Brutality? All the dumb-ass had to do was fall to the ground and lay down. I support the cops on this one.

    I'm so glad I moved out of that damn city. It's idiots like this guy and all of the crooked city leaders who cry race over every little thing that ruined it.

  • What brutalitty??? Cops say get on the ground, GET YOUR ASS ON THE GROUND!! If the cops were white that hit him, he woulda said racist white cops, Id like to see how this goes since the 2 cops were black..

  • good job GPD! Should've smacked him a few more times though.

  • "How he gon' get on the ground? He holdin' him!!"

    Dude wasn't even making an attempt to get on the ground..he was dancing around, resisting arrest..

    Seriously...shit could've been done with in like, a minute, rather than taking as long as it did..

  • i go both ways on law enforcement.... for and against. But one thing i follow to the T is that you listen to what they say. EVEN if ur right, u listen!!! if ur right/think ur right, and resist, you bringing a world of hurt and drama on yourself!!! even if you right. You do what they say and wait and see how shit plays out. You dont resist. If you do, you deserve whatever happens.

  • Poor dude, but he should have Complied with the Police. The cop was holding his belt, but he wasn't holding him up.

  • Well, the police officer did say ''get on the ground'' the black male said ''no''. When a person says no I doubt it that they will change their minds, and he was resiting arrest.

  • Cop loving assholes need to get a life and stop voting on videos. Go spend some time with your child.

  • lol what a black idiot. This right here ladies and gentlemen is whats wrong with todays society. He had every chance to comply with the officers orders and if his stupid black ass went to school and got an education he would probably understand what they were saying. They just wanna get loud and be stupid so fuck 'em all. Worthless pieces of shit.

  • He was resisting arrest. This is NOT brutality. He's lucky he didn't get shot. Dumbass.

  • "hay-ell yeeeh gawt it awn kaymerah!"

    maybe it's just me...but i'll go out on a limb and say that cooperating would have made this situation 1000x smoother.

  • Stay on em Timothy V!

  • This is where the Klan and Nazis shot and killed a number of protesters back in the day (it was caught on film and you can watch it on YouTube) and not a single one of the murderers went to jail- even though they were identified. The people are oppressed by a bunch of dickhead cops who watch out for each other.

  • Looks like there's a team of internet warriors voting down everybody who talks about what the cops really do. that doesn't change the reality...you cop loving assholes are just hiding the truth...

  • stupid blacks, always screaming and making a big deal outta nothing

  • fuc da popo doen dat shyt n my hood!

  • I dont know why they waited so long befor they put him down. People just don't respect anything. Some people only understand force. If force they want force they shall get...

  • What the fuck is you talking about(420991 &svtcobra7). That black officer was punching and kicking this man. You mean to tell me that is not police brutality. Get the fuck out of here. You two motherfucker do known police brutailty if it bite you on the dick.

  • bullshit video, it doesn't show the part where he pulled the gun did it? The guy had a gun on him, tried to pull it on the police officers, and got fucked up in the process, fuck him

  • Fuck you. That officer had no right to hit that man like that. "Pussy"

  • They should have assisted the suspect to the ground instead of dancing with him.

  • fuck every polices in nc dey did me like dat and my crew

  • lol

  • Ok for all of you people. You use equal force with force. The guy was never fighting but, the officer had punched him like 5 times. For you that cant see that its very sad. So dont cry if you get pulled over at gun point and you ass kicked by the cops!

  • he deserved what he got....he was resisting. There was NO brutality in this video.

  • That was ploice brutality motherfucker. (Alleycat1986) say this shit

  • SOUTHSIDE iz ruff, but ima norf norf nigga

  • someone please tell me where the brutality is. all i see is a dumbass resisting arrest.

  • This is a waste of time. That offender needed his azz kicked. That was NOT brutality, the offender wouldn't "get on the ground"!! I am blk too and know a fool when I see one!! The copper should have put away his gun and knocked that fool on his azz!!

    People need to stop making a fool of them self with these stupid videos!!

  • brutality?? he ignored officer commands... he deserved what he got.

  • Swiss, I mentioned I could not condone the hits to the head. I don't condone the dancing around with him. I can't comment on the other incident you mentioned. From what you've said, I can't condone any of it. However, I'm trying to post some points and your talking of killing people. Are you any better than the bad cops you speak of? Until both sides admit they have bad and good folks this crap will never stop. Is that not what you and I and everyone wants?

  • I can't fault the crowd I guess. Being mid-day and all those housecoats and pajamas, it's clear they all work night shift. I'd be upset to be woken up like that.

  • Sorry, was cut off from last post. I can't in any way, defend the hitting in the head. This guy should have been taken to the ground, not danced in circles. However, the crowd would have been better served trying to talk this guy into doing as the officers were telling him. Gotta ask camera man, would you tape your buddy if he was doing a crime and give it to police? For him to be tried? Would you?

  • Actually, I am a former police officer. I do condemn anyone spewing racial horsecrap. However, the knee strike to the side of the leg is a very good means to subdue someone. Although it is painful for a brief time, it does allow one to be handcuffed without causing real injury. Is that not what the goal is, to make an arrest without causing actual injury. However, bottom line, this individual had every change to comply with the officers. He could have fought in court, not on the street.

  • always been proud,huh?Kneestrikes are effective just like thistime i witness an effective throatstrike on an unarmed underage,compliant individual.dont give me that bullshit.the police in this film danced that kidaround they damn nearcould have been trying to get thecommunityupset to show that they could.When communities finally get some backbone and SNIPE bitch cops the world will be a better place. fuck a video camera, take arifle 2your roof,with a silencer ofcourse. one candream.fuck you,pig.

  • You silly, illiterate, racist piece of shit:

    We were talking about death rates on the job, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics info. Yet you use it for an excuse to spew unfounded racist bullshit. Your stupidity and your hate are about equal, I'd say.

    And besides, your ignorant ass is incapable of doing any math that adds up to more than ten anyway...unless you take your shoes off and start counting on your toes. So run along, now.

  • Again--I think it says a lot that you racist scum klan-loving motherfuckers come on here and spew the most hateful, ignorant bullshit, and your cop buddies don't utter a peep of criticism. Seems like you cops who post here hate Black people just as much as "nooseking" here--or else you'd be criticizing him, right?

  • haha 1:56-2:00 "he beaten dat boy he aint eden deed none"

    ??? exactly he did nothing. when they told to to do something. non-compliance

  • what was the guy doing before u cut on the camera? and why didn't he get on the ground after the officer asked him 20 fuckin times? This video/incident doesn't constitute as police brutality. he couldve pointed the gun at the kid, but then the situation wouldve been taken to an entirely new level. both were in the wrong. he shouldve listened to the officer but at the same time the officer should never have taken out his gun.

  • FUCK you

  • He's not fighting back, but he was resisting. I'm not saying the Police were right in what they did at all though. But that guy should have just let them arrest him.

  • Well, I would translate it into a language you can understand...but I don't fucking speak pig latin.

  • police brutality? more like non-compliance.

  • more like disorderly conduct, u might add.

  • if you think that's bad, try Egypt, those assholes suck bigtime!

  • DID HE SAY CALL MY MAMA HAHAHAHAHA

  • POLICE BRUTALITY my ass he should had done what they said got the fuck on the ground then there would not be a problem rember people the police may be wroung but the more of a problem you cause the worst it's goin to be fight it in court not the police

  • Poor Policing, the officers seemed unsure what to do with him, they could have easily taken him to the ground, two against one. Not sure why one officer was holding on to the suspects belt???

  • NO POLICE BRUTALITY. Hmm.. a suspect HAS A GUN  they did what the were suppose to

  • What the video doesn't show is the gun that he had earlier...the guy that comes into the video at 0.37 seconds is picking up the gun that the other man had on him. But where is that part of the video??

  • Yeah...the video doesn't show everything...like the fact that the cops profile, harass, beat, taser, and kill people every damn day. Too bad there aren't enough cameras to catch all that. Just last night they shot up an apartment complex to kill one guy who allegedly had a gun, and risked the lives of many people. Is there video of that? Only the cops know.

  • dude the cops aren't out to get you. theyre there to protect you. some can get a little frustrated when you don't listen to them the first couple hundred times though. too many have died in the line of duty to protect you to disrespecting them.

  • Let's take a closer look at your little factoid: The Bureau of Labor Statistics says that being a cop is one of the safest jobs out there. It's way more dangerous to be a truck driver, or even a gardener. And you know how cops get killed on the job? Mostly single-car accidents. Compare that to the more than 4,000 people killed by cops since 1990, as documented by Stolen Lives, and you get a very different story than the pro-cop propaganda about these pigs "risking their lives to protect us".

  • Don't call the force pigs. They should've done worse to that young man. If you have a gun near a cop, it's a good idea to LISTEN!!! LISTEN to the cops the FIRST time. And if you don't you're going to get it. FACT: your little hommie hear didn't listen. You'd be surprised how much easier it would've been for him if he had listened. You know, that thing you do with your ears.

  • So I take it you have absolutely nothing to say about the facts and statistics I listed. In other words, any fact that proves you wrong, you can't hear. You know...that thing you do with your ears.

  • yeah, kinda hard to hear letters. next time you're in a bad situation with bad people, who are you gonna call?

  • Seems like alot of people agree with you too! You're totally not the only one!

  • Thanks for the LBS part in your last comment. It actually shows that most deaths occuring in jobs goes to white people. 3758 buddy. Opposed to 591 black people. Nice research! There's nothing about gardening either. Oh, and what's this? The police have the second most death related job? Next to Management, business, and financial operations occupations. With 723 deaths. Once again you don't understand. Get some better videos before posting.

  • I'm going to ignore your 19th century racial fears for a second about what you THINK I'm saying (did I ever say more black people die on the job? No. But more on that in a sec.) First let's address that little factoid about pigs dying at work. You know the number one way they die? Single car accidents. Redneck Rambos driving too damn fast, and wrapping the taxpayers' cruiser around a tree.

    And as for your stupid racial comparison, the numbers show a higher death rate for blacks. Do the math.

  • who cares HOW they die? IF they die its a very sad moment. i am not a racist man. cops are like parents or teachers. they are higher in authority. you have to do as they say! oh and god forbid the taxpayers cruiser gets crushed. ITS A MANS LIFE!!!

  • Listen the dude had a gun when he wasnt supposed to. He didn't listen. Therefore, they gave him a little nudge. Is it normal where you live to have people walking around with guns and cops have nothing to do with it? I live in greensboro too my friend.

  • If you spent a little more time thinking, and not just worshipping authority, maybe we could have a decent debate here. As it is you can't even follow my arguments, much less refute them. Take note, genius: You can't say "cops have a dangerous job", implying that "criminals" make their job dangerous, when the truth is, THE JOB IS ONLY DANGEROUS BECAUSE COPS DON'T KNOW HOW TO FUCKING DRIVE. You take out all those SELF-INFLICTED deaths, and the job is safer than being a fucking florist.

  • but how is this video police brutality? if someone has a gun, and you're on the job to stop him, its a dangerous job. end of story. how many cops get shot on the job? few. but thats still a dangerous. anything could happen. ive NEVER heard any florist get hurt on their job. unless they prick their finger. stop making NC look like a bad place. maybe you should listen to the LAW if you dont want a cop to "shove" you. some states have those things...

  • Are you really that dumb? THAT WAS MY POINT, imbecile. Being a florist is not dangerous. And if cops didn't drive like morons, their jobs wouldn't be that dangerous either. It's not the "criminals" that make their jobs dangerous, it's their own stupid actions. I don't know how I can make it any clearer. Man, you're fucking dense.

  • Livin' in St Louis. The brothers on the North and East side kill each other all the time. It's on the news every night. I mean every friggin' night. Want to do some good? Quit talkin' this shit and go spend time with your children. And if you don't have any, go spend some time with a neglected black child. There are too many of them out there. Sorry if you were one of them!!!

  • boi stop!

  • Divide and conquer, what we see, turns into personal attacks, because were all so conserned with saving face and looking strong, grow up people and make a stand against the oppressive practices of some Police.

  • He should have gotten on the ground. It's his own fault.

  • why didnt the cop just fuckin slew-foot him 2 the ground? just trip his ass up or somethin lol

  • I'm not going to agree to disagree. These cops literally get away with murder. It doesn't matter what you think, or what excuses you make, or how much you look the other way. That doesn't stop reality from being real. If there really were any "good cops" they would speak out about this. The truth is, either you "go with the flow" or you get out. Cops who speak out don't stay cops for long.

  • Good job and do not worry about the haters. It is the mentality of poeple like flyboy that give cops a real bad name. This is why we have courts and no need for street justice. Remember street justice can go both ways!!!

  • Just checking the thread and saw your comment.

    How does my "mentality give cops a real bad name"??? WTF are you talking about?

    The least you can do is grow a set of nuts and reply to me personally so I can defend myself. I'm not a hater of anyone.

    Are you threatening physical harm on me, or the Police with your last remark???

    Sure sound like you are! No wonder you have a problem with the Police. You sound like a fucking thug.

  • Just what I said you dumb shit! who the fuck are you to call people thugs and pass judgment and I have a big pair nuts and I will take you on legally anytime. God I hope you are not a cop because that would be a damn shame!!!

  • You said: "Remember street justice can go both ways!!!" Thats either a threat to me, or to Cops. Thats why I called you a thug.

    "Who the fuck are you to pass judgment"??? Are you fucking kidding me?? Your fucking LIFE is about passing judgment! All you do is pass judgment on Cops!

    What a hypocrite!

    "I have a big pair nuts"??? Spit them out! They're not yours! ;-)

  • I pass judgment on public servants you dip shit and you should read the constitution which gives me every right to do so on public servants. You should change your name to fagboy!!!

  • The guy in this video is a criminal thug scumbag! You defend his behavior? Whats wrong with people like you?

    If you think the cops are wrong, you fight them in the courtroom, NOT in the street!

    Are you an anarchist or something?

  • If he would've listened to police, he wouldn't have got hit. If anything, he was resisting arrest.

  • Did he have a gun? why wouldn't he listen in the first place? Until you wear the shoes of an officer dealing with a prick that has a gun, you really shouldn't comment on things that you know nothing about. To the prick in the video that said" they beatin on that boy and he ain't even did nothin" you're a fuckin idiot. There is a difference in police brutality and an idiot that won't listen. He better be glad it wasn't me on duty, i would have shot his ass due to the fact that he had a weapon.

  • He had a gun...that's what the second guy in 0.37 seconds is trying to pick up. This video does not show the WHOLE story, only what some people want you to believe.

  • Nigger wouldn't listen. They had a legit reason.

  • clear case of resiting arrest, this camera prove the officers case.

  • This guy was such a dick. They should've tased him. Cut down all the bullshit.

    Nice comment, flyboymd82

  • I can't believe the black people who have to live in a hellhole project defend this asshole(who's resisting arrest)and hate on the Police. Then they wonder why they are surrounded by crime, murder, squalor and "gee, why don't the cops give a fuck about us"??

    If that same senerio happened in my hood, regardless of the races involved,(say two black cops fighting a white trash redneck) the citizens would have helped the Cops, and cheered the cops on to beat his ass to a pulp! How it should be!

  • Well *news flash* THE COPS ACT DIFFERENTLY IN BLACK NEIGHBORHOODS. Cops stop and frisk kids for nothing. They drive up on people's grass for no reason. There's this one GPD ofc who threw 67-year old deaf woman to the ground when her car broke down near Florida St. RIGHT AFTER THIS VIDEO WAS TAKEN, the cops grabbed a 15 year old kid by the throat who had NOTHING TO DO with what was going on because he was wearing a white T (profiling). This shit happens all the time.

  • How can you say that silly shit when the cops involved were BLACK! Are they racist against black people??

    "Newsflash" for you! I'm white as chalk and got my ass beat by WHITE cops in my younger days b/c I was drunk jackass, and taunted them. I also got pulled over quite a bit back then.

    Its not a fucking race issue! Its a behavior issue! Get over it! Black neighborhoods are well know to be higher crime and more dangerous too!

  • This is obviously your first time thinking about these issues so I'll slow down a bit. Black cops who think like you do, that Black people who live in public housing are all criminals and otherwise useless people, treat them like trash. You can call that Black cops "being racist against black people" if you want. But the fact is, if you are poor, live in certain neighborhoods, and are Black, EVERY color cop treats you like shit.

  • If you knew who you were talking to you wouldn't insult me with your arrogance and put words in my mouth.

    I never said blacks in public housing are all criminals/useless/trash!! I said that those area's are much higher in violent crime. Let me spell out what I meant by that, cops who patrol those areas have a much higher chance to be assaulted, stabbed or shot so they are much more on the defensive and less friendly and carefree. Sorry if thats not PC, its just the real world truth!

  • You were saying that the cops couldn't be racist because "they're BLACK!" I'm telling you that ALL cops, regardless of color, treat people who live in poor communities like trash. You seem to think that's OK, that they have a RIGHT to act that way. I don't know you sir. That's true. But I think if you and the people you knew got routinely profiled and harassed, you'd be sick of the cops too, and the whole power structure they represent.

  • Your blanket statement of "ALL cops" is a testament to your blind hatred of them.

    What you say isn't true.

    I was on a ride along last summer & we went to a domestic between a young Nigerian immigrant couple who had NOTHING! Thier infant was sleeping in an open dresser drawer! 4 cops pitched in money, went to wal-mart and bought them a crib, matress & blankets for the baby, put it together & took it to them. They both cried!

    There's another side nobody sees & don't make news. They do care!

  • There are two ways to have an argument, Flyboy. You can either argue with what a person is saying, or you can argue with what they aren't saying. I didn't say that all they ever do is beat people and harass them (though sometimes it seems like it). I said that regardless of color, all cops treat people like trash in poor communities. So a cop helps a little old lady across the street some time. Big deal. That doesn't excuse the ROLE they play AS A WHOLE in terrorizing whole communities.

  • You cannot listen to reason. They DON'T treat people like trash in poor communitys! The couple I saw them help out were poor & barely spoke English! They might treat the criminal element like trash & I think they should b/c they ARE! They try to protect the decent poor people from the drug dealers, gang bangers, thieves and thugs who prey upon them. We were in an inner City ghetto and the Officer I rode with said about 10% of the community preys on the other 90%. He felt sorry for them!

  • Well, you see what you want to see. You had nothing to say about the several examples I gave you. I could give you so many more. One about a woman I know who lived in Smith Homes who called the cops b/c she heard shooting outside her apartment. The cops came and ransacked HER house, took HER kids (aged 7 and 9) out and interrogated them. This happened at 2 in the morning. Does that kind of shit happen in YOUR neighborhood?

  • I didn't say anything about your examples b/c I don't believe them to be true. I'm not calling YOU a liar but I've heard so many of those kind of stories & they usually turn out to be false. Why would they abuse a woman who called for help? Remember the "Meter feeding granny" who got arrested for "feeding meters" in Cincinnati? It was national news. Turns out when the Cop told her to stop feeding the meters, she told him to "get fucked" and slapped him. THATS what she got arrested for.

  • We'll just have to agree to disagree. I know there are some bad cops out there, thats a fact, but stop blanketing them all! The vast majority are decent people, doing a thankless job the best they can, and raise familys like everyone else.

    Most of the bad cops get weeded out eventually, by other cops.

  • hey tim..its only guilty county if you put yourself in a situation to be accused of something.

  • A politically and academically accepted definition of racism:

    systemic oppression of an ethnic, national or "racial" basis.

    Using this definition, racism within the U.S. toward people who are not minorities does not exist. This precludes the possibility of the mythical "reverse racism".

    ("racial" appears in quotes because, scientifically speaking, there is no such thing as race. It is a social construct)

  • elkbagger (awesome name, by the way) would have us believe that no cop ever, anywhere on the planet has ever beat up an innocent person before...... HA! Your attempts and ideas are laughable, and oh so sad....

    No matter the various shades of agreement and disagreement on this page, elkbagger, I think we can all unite around the FACT that cops AT LEAST SOMETIMES beat up innocents. No one has the mental retardation sufficient to deny that.

    And I'll ignore your attack on my integrity.

  • Cops are people and like a cross section of the pop., a certain % are idiots. You are dead on with that! There have been times where a person got their ass beat, when they shouldn't(more rare than common )...I'll give you that! But, I am quite familiar with what I am saying and I will tell you that this guy like many dumb asses on the other side of the law was/is a piece of crap and this video is typical of the sentiment by B or W trash through out the nation toward the greater % of good cops.

  • I think anyone can see this video and just listen to helpful audience. Nobody thinks twice about the fact that this piece of shit is around my children or in my neighborhood etc. Nobody thinks...hey man, just get on the ground like that asked etc. No, they are just looking for something to stir up. This is an embarrassment to Smith Homes and I personally am disappointed in the two cops that didn't take him down the way they should have. Why weren't the neighbors upset about that aspect Quorr
