the more things change, the more they stay the same. No, this isn’t a reverse angle on the Rodney King beating. This is a video tape of an ass whooping the Philadelphia Police Department put on three dudes on MONDAY, May 5, 2008 that they think may have been present when another dude shot a cop over the weekend. The actual shooter is still at large! I can’t imagine what they’re going to do to him when they catch him.
Why did they pull these cats out of their car and beat the living shit out of them without trying to safely, no check that, humanely take them into custody?
Oh yeah, I forgot, once a cop gets killed nothing else matters. It’s just time to pull cars over and whoop the ass of everyone in the car regardless of who they are or how they may or may not be involved. I know, I know, they probably knew exactly who was in the car. They probably had some advanced information that the exact three people they wanted were in that car, right. That ass beating, while completely illegal and unconstitutional, was completely justified.
Sure, because cops are always right, even when they’re wrong. Just like when they killed Sean Bell in NYC ON HIS WEDDING DAY, right?
Let me ask the judge in that case something: If three plain clothes coppers shooting an unarmed dude 50 times, thereby killing him when he’s just celebrating his marriage with some buddies, isn’t a negligent use of deadly force, what is? What, do these cop have to shoot a cat 100 times, stab him, piss on him and then post a diss record up on youtube in order to obtain criminal street cred? I mean, I’m not sure what legal reasoning they were using, but in my book shooting an unarmed man 50 times is inherently negligent. And if you did shoot a cat 50 times accidentally, you better have a damn good reason for doing it. Don’t tell me that when you jumped out with your guns and no uniform that he tried to drive away, who wouldn’t?
Every single one of these clowns up in Philly should be thrown off the Police force and put in jail (and the Feds definitely need to look into that Sean Bell matter), but you know they won’t. You know that in Philly one cop will take the fall and the rest will just get “paid leave” some “sensitivity training” and high fives when they walk back into the Department. Meanwhile, you have to assume these geniuses knew that these helicopters were equipped with surveillance cameras, right? So if they do shit like this when the cameras are rolling, what kind of savagery goes on when nobody is around to see it?
And they wonder why people hate cops.

you say they wonder why people hate cops, but not all police are violent with suspects, or just poeple in general.
thats a small percentage.
and hey, your beliefs are your beliefs but not all cops are bad.
most actually want to help, not hurt others.
but yes, SOME re assholes who do things and get away with them cause theyre cops.
i think that if the police are looking for someone, find the RIGHT person, THEN ITS OKAY TO BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF THEM.
but i mean, if they have the wrong person, and they know its the wrong person, thats just fucked up.
but you have to realize, cops have feelings too.
they have families.
if they have a daughter who was raped (or even if she wasnt raped) and they catch a rapist,
they will just be thinking of her, and keeping her safe while putting that jerk in cuffs.
and of course, like any other person, theyll probably lose their temper. i am not justifying that beating someone to a bloody pulp is okay. i am just saying, police are not robots no matter how much you wish they were. they are real people with real feelings.
Hey, that’s true, not all are bad. But the ones that aren’t still protect the ones that are. They don’t turn on them, even when they kill us. And police departments have been corrupt a lot longer than they’ve been legitimate, to the extent they now are. thx
