Wow, this is a crazy video that is just now being released a year after the incident. The driver was so unconscious that he didn’t even know that the police beat him until they play the tape in court. Was this beating just?
I personally feel that a police officer should be able to remove his emotions and do his job justly. I understand that we are all humans, but 5 officers beating an unconscious suspect is ridiculous. How do you feel about it?

YO!!! that dude deserved to have a service Pistol shoved in his mouth and his brains sPlattered all over the highway!! i mean you did see him try to run over that Officer correct? i gotta say.. brutal criminals need to be treated BRUTALLY!! my father is a coP, all three of my sisters married coPs, and i’m telling you, at the end of the day, they are GREAT PEOPLE. you hear what i’m saying? if it comes down to them using excessive force and coming home at the end of the day, or not being forceful enough and losing their life because some scumbag took advantage of the chance to gain control, then i say be aggressive as you have to. just come home.
if Police beat a kid who has done nothing wrong- thats brutality. sean bell is brutality. now the news wants to Put this out there to sensationalize shit. they want blacks to be so Pissed off at Police that they will act a fool and try to make a scene or a stand for the slightest infraction and wind uP with bullets in their heads too. can’t YOU see whats going on? trust me when some shit goes down with your family, YOUR GONNA WANT POLICE THERE TO HELP. when some one breaks into your home, YOUR GONNA WANT POLICE THERE TO HELP. when someone steals your belongings, YOUR GONNA WANT POLICE THERE TO HELP. let them do their job or become one and show them you can do it better. and to all those criminals out there… if you Play football, the other team is gonna hit the shit out of you!!! take your lumPs!!!
oh and… you still my dude!! and you still got the best, most thought Provoking, emotion stirring, informational site on the web. and i love you for it!! real talk!
I feel what your saying. Your saying if someone is trying to take these cops lives on their job then their suspect’s life should be taken. Right? So in a case like Oscar Grant, or Sean Bell as you’ve mentioned, should the cops involved “deserved to have a service Pistol shoved in his mouth and his brains sPlattered all over the highway”? What about Amadou Diallo? The cops involved in his case walked. There has to be justice on both sides of the coin. Just because a person works creating bombs should he or she bomb things freely? What about a knife manufacturer? Should he be free to shank whoever when he is angry? Those are ridiculous questions, but it’s a ridiculous case. Doing 50% good and 50% bad in the world shouldn’t be the goal. Puffy feels like, “I have a charity, so f*ck it, I can sell bullsh*t all I want.” I don’t think that’s how it should work. Yes, I want protection when it’s necessary, but when it’s not I don’t want those same “protectors” looking to beat or kill me.
And don’t worry, this is all open dialog. EVERYONE has the right to their opinion. It’s the different views that provokes thoughts in the first place.
Oh and thanks for the compliments. We’re trying!
i feel you. i do think the coPs that shot sean bell should be killed. i do. the same with diallo. those coPs should be killed. an eye for an eye. the truth is it’s a crazy world out there and it will never be Perfect. but try to look at that Particular situation this way: the same dude driving, only it’s not coPs chasing him it’s you. the coP that almost got ran over is a family member or a close friend of you, when that dudes car fliPs and he’s ejected, (maybe) (and i say maybe because i can’t say what you would do for sure, but, honestly i hoPe you would) you and everyone close to you would do something similar.
I feel you on that. But the difference is, once I do it I should be held responsible for my actions. And furthermore, I never took a job saying that I put my personal feelings aside and I’m going to enforce the law. How can I enforce the law if I’m biased based on “personal” beliefs and emotions?
If I were given that power to walk around and shoot people, if my mind state wasn’t correct, there might be a whole bunch of people RIP. But that’s not my job and I don’t have that power.
Superb debate, buttav and Ewbar. Thanks for the comments from both sides. It’s easy to feel like the police take advantage of their position and the fact that they’re armed with a license to kill, and it’s worrisome that a number of them join the force to air out their aggression issues, but we also need to remember that there are a number of officers who’ve taken the job to improve their communities. Those same cops whose intentions are pure have a responsibility to police their fellow officers as well, though, because the brutality cases are out of hand.
i know good and damn well you aren’t expecting me to feel some sort of way for this person? He fucked up by NOT stopping, then he attempted to kill someone.. GTFOH!
Ha Ha Guess who is back……… Yea it really is me???!!!!! I can’t sleep so i thought i’ll come here and badgar ewbar while giving good commentary. But all these subjects really have all the arguments or don’t really need to be argued. So i guess this website is an actual positive one now. Kinda Disappointed but…… all well……….. I’m still about to get you though. Jason aka Thourobred
Its not right but damn this dude was on some real BS. This guy made the fact that these cops might be racist irrelevant. Human emotion is hard to deal with sometime. it doesnt make what they did right but it makes it hard to really be angry. A man like that puts me in danger.
I agree, Angel.
