A Philly Kicking.

Hobbes

Don't know if it's made the news there, but just saw the Philly police kick the crap out of some black guy. 20 or so of them after they had shot him.

Muppets did it while a press helicopter was overhead.

Sick.

It was both blacks AND whites doing the kicking so....
racist? doubt it.
Personally I rekon the guy had it coming.
If he shot a police officer, then he is lucky HE wasnt shot....in the head!

I mean like....If he is the type of guy to shoot ppl, then he is scum.

They shoulda waited until they had him in a private place first tho. Silly cops

Yep, I agree with Pal,
Black, white or purple, people who endanger the lives of others and shoot at police officers deserve a good beating.

IMO he got off lightly, he should be happy to still be alive after the shootout.

He was. Five times.

I dunno, I think the cops get a lot of grief for what their doing.

If it was me chasing some fu<ker who wouldn't give up, reisting arrest, had a weapon, shot my parter in the hand, bit and scraped other partners of mine, I think when I did eventually catch him.........

Lets just say I'd be a little ****ed off and call me old fashioned but I think with good reason.

Whether he was black, white, yellow, polka dot. Its easy to judge when your not in the situation, sure I'm doing the same thing, but it seems to me like he was causing a lot of grief..........

The focus of the incident seem to be on his skin colour, which is a bad start anyway.

I don't think the cops treated this guy different coz hes black.
Doesn't matter what colour you are, a scumbag is a scumbag, I'm not saying he is one, I don't know and there in lies the problem, nobody really does yet. But the fact that he was black shouldn't be made an issue. But it will be...

ah...
OK.
I should have read more into this incident
suppose he had it coming.
Never know

Don't get me wrong though, when it comes down to it what they did is wrong....

I just doubt it was unprovoked r anything to do with race.

Ah it's not racist...if the chap hada been white they woulda have beaten the ****e out if him to...and for the record...rodney king was a **** suckin, coke sniffin, woman beating pig and im actually happy he was thumped with battons.

Just cos someone's black doesn't mean they aren't an *******.
