they are going to deny racial profiling? Do they stop at all the white people's houses and automatically assume that their new cars must be stolen? The cop didn't even run the plates or have any report that the SUV was stolen so why in the hell was he bothering them to begin with? It was because they were black. Even a white redneck like me can see this for what it is. The cop needs to go to prison or this will continue to happen all over our country.

@Stink808 The cops got put under "investigation" nothing more happened to them since the system is setup for them. I dont think it will stop because this is a racist country that was built off racism & ignorance so ill have to deal with & so will my kids. Thanks for the comment man

hey man, I hate to see injustice no matter who it is happening to but especially to the little guy who doesn't have power or money. One thing they can do though is to educate themselves, their families and community. Add smarts with the strong will to fight and some dignity can be gained at least.

If you haven't yet, seriously check out EdLawsonTV on youtube. He has some really good stuff, ominous but yet inspiring. He has the will and he learned his way and is nobody's fool.

@Stink808 Ill chec it out. Who are you talkin about though? Or is that just an example

[Stink808]

the little guy I refer to is anyone who has an extreme power disadvantage such as the poor and uneducated. They are easy targets of police and the money sucking penal system. If hate and fear can be propagated about that class of citizen, it makes it that much easier for authorities to stomp all over them. The black community is a perfect example of a wholesale victim. Where I live, a lot of dumb white rednecks end up filling that void since we hardly have a black community here.

You still fail to realize law enforcement in an establishment. Actually, it's not that you fail to realize it, it's that your moronic brain chooses to ignore it. While ignoring it, know this - citizens are no longer putting up with police brutality, in case you haven't noticed. Let me give you an example. 4 officers shot in coffee shop, they all died. You still think citizens are not targeting law enforcement? Now ask yourself why! To conclude, pigs are better roasted on a stick!

[phantomjay0]

@fmnma1 Wow! I do not even need to debate with you anymore. You have truely surpassed your previous comments. A law enforcement officer is a person with a job and if you have ever been to kindergarden you would have learned all people are different. Your view on this matter is actually concerning to me because it is borderline psychotic. You are losing touch with reality or you have surrounded yourself with an elaborate delusion, or both. No matter the cause I wish you well. Good Luck!

Watch, police brutality at the tea party. Do you see one pig, taking the side of a citizen. This is more proof, they do not take the sides of citizens, they back their own. Regardless of illegal orders, they stick to their fellow gangster brothers, without giving one thought to a citizen. You with to ignore allllllllllllll this proof, go ahead, but it's there. Us against them, as you can see, is not only real, but what they are creating, PERIOD!

[fmnma1]

@phantomjay0

YOU are individualizing them, we refer to them as 'law enforcement' or 'police', for a reason. As you can see, they are not interested in individualizing themselves. They are a group, and it's us against them mentality is what they created, not us. 'Us against them' is thoughtless? You need to really come back to Earth, and see what is going on. The us against them, is completely obvious. It's all over the FREAKING NEWS! Yes, it's us against them, they created this, not us!

[fmnma1]

@phantomjay0

Let me put it to you this way, because your brain is having a hard time understanding.

ALL COPS ARE BAD, YES! Here is why!

Look up Wall street police brutality. This is a pure example of them ALL being bad little pigs. We have the right to assemble, and peacefully protest. Now take a look, as 'citizens' try to film their illegal acts, and their 'brothers' try to block every moment of them committing these crimes. Yes, they are all bad, have yourself a look. WAKE THE FUKK UP!

[phantomjay0]

@fmnma1 You are judging officers you have never met or even heard of because of what a few have done. There are millions of assholes in the world but I would not be ignorant enough to assume they are all just like you.

"They have created us against them, their fault!" That one of the most thoughtless comments I have seen. Your ego is so large and your head is so full of air I am not sure if you have a chance at being brought back to earth.

@phantomjay0

Slanderous hate? Moron, what I stated is not 'slander' nor is it 'defamation'. I am stating facts, and can't be brought to court when I have the evidence to back it up. Law enforcement is an institution, an institution no one trusts anymore. Police officers save lives, and risk their lives. Wake up, they get paid for it, not to mention no one 'forced' them to go into the career in the first place, - BAD excuse for what they do. They have created us against them, their fault!

@phantomjay0

What disgusting acts on society you ask... Murdering citizens, Oscar Grant is just one case, Kelly Thomas is another. Murdering citizens, and not getting really any prison time for it? How about the constant brutality displayed by law enforcement on a daily basis. And, let us not forget the case where an officer was arrested for trading child porn, including babies engaging in sex acts. He also conspired on how to torture, then murder boys ages 5 -10... Are those disgusting enough?

[phantomjay0]

@fmnma1 What "disgusting acts against society?" This is a specific video about a single incident in which the officer was proven to do nothing wrong. This is not the place for your slanderous hate. But to step down to your for a moment: police officer absolutely save lives and risk their own lives. And for the few bad officers and bad decisions their are countless others that are very good and heroic that you seem to be turning "a blind eye" from.
