really cops dont give a fuck about anyone except themselves...theyre out there to meet their quota of giving tickets and fucking up good times....they dont let u cruise, dont let u throw house parties, dont let u kick it...well what do they want us to do?....if we cant chill and have a good time then we're gonna go out and fuck shit up...cops bring it on themselves....and all this racial profiling bull shit needs to stop....theyre too worried about us latinos coming into the country....but on the real they need to be watching for others....theyre so quik to pull a latino or a black over cuz theyre always looking at us as bad people...i know plenty of white guys who do more dirt than anyone black man or latino...but they dont get harrased for shit....i seriously hope this cop gets locked up and thrown into general population....
damn homie, u soundin like tha fuccin holice. mark furman ass. on tha video, it showed 5 or 6 pigs had that foo hemmed up against a cop car. they had him handcuffed. how tha fucc he gonna provoke them? that's why tha pigs that did that ish to rodney king got acquited cuz assholes like u were in tha jury box. shit gets me hella mad. fucc that. fold.
Cops are targets because they wear a badge. I feel sorry for cops cause 95% of them are out doing there jobs trying to protect their communities and enforce laws that politicians and representatives we vote into office pass.
If you all have a problem police stompin in on your parties and giving you other petty ass tickets like speeding 2mph over the limit of MIP or whatever, you should be, but its not their fault. Police chiefs and politicians set qoutas. Cops have to meet a certain qouta of tickets, because if they dont they can get fired. Also, the tickets they write help bring in revenues in small towns where there are no car dealerships, malls, or other means off money for the city.

and again, although I am showing simpathy for the bad rap police get IN NO WAY do I personally condone the actions of the police officer hitting a detained man, however, I dont think the incident was race related. To me it looked like the cop was just pissed off and full of adrenaline and did not respond to the situation in the typical matter a police offer should.
Sworn to protect and serve.. the state. They leave the last part off, but that's what it is in all reality. Police are soliders of the state. They will turn on you when told to do so. Like I said, if you've ever been in a place where riot police are present you know what I'm talking about. They won't hesistate to harm anyone they see as a threat..
This country fucks with anyone who stands in its way, you included if and when you pose a threat..
You left that out MaddDogg. I respect what you're saying and like anything there is always some good just as there is bad, but I the police are nothing to defend in my eyes..

Vamps,
You got a point about cops being civil servants. I guess it has its pros and its cons. I mean, my point is, cops are the only people out there that risk there lives every fuckin day to protect people that hate their guts. But without the police, shit would be worse than it is now. Police are the only people that make shit happen that ive seen or heard, most community activists are limited to preaching and talking about what happens, but when it comes to actually stopping crime the police go out and have to handle business. I think that if BOTH police and citizens worked together instead of having animosity towards each other policing in the United States would be a lot better.
Police do what they are told to though, meaning if a politician comes up with some bullshit they have to follow it (ie the Black Panther raids in Chicago circa 1970's which was basically a hit on BPP leaders.) But I dont think America is in such a corrupt state that we'll be seeing secret Nazi style police who do whatever their chief or mayor tells them, but I guess the main thing I've learned in American History class is that just about everything is possible.

Ive seen that tape every 30 secs its on the news. I dont give a phuck if the 16yr spit on the cops face told him to phuck off in 30 different languages you dont a person like an animal we all human beings. This isnt the first time that cop takin full advantage of his authority, he put an older man inna colma about a month ago. It makes me sick to my stomach knowin that my taxes help fund crooked cops salaries. What gets me mad the most is lil dude looked helpless wit all them cops around him laughin like its a goddamn joke. Only guy that did somethin was the latin cop who tried to hold him back after he socked lil homie, even before that he hadda smile on his face.
YO .......... I noticed in the clip right after the cop socked the kid in the lip ........... he look like he was ready to throw another punch. You see that ? Luckily one of the other cops intervened ......... but you could see the cops fist go up in the air like he was finna throw another jab ............... fucked up.
AND NOW THIS..

LOS ANGELES (July 11) - The man who videotaped a police beating near Los Angeles that enraged black leaders and then dodged a grand jury inquiry into the matter was arrested on Thursday as he prepared to grant a television interview.
Mitchell Crooks was taken into custody on warrants issued in northern California for petty theft and drunken driving. Authorities also served him with a subpoena to testify before the Los Angeles County grand jury.
Crooks' arrest was videotaped and broadcast on local KCAL-TV, showing undercover officers hustling him into a sports utility vehicle with tinted windows outside the studios of CNN as the 27-year-old man repeatedly screamed for help.
Crooks had failed to appear on Thursday morning at Los Angeles Superior Court, where the grand jury was meeting, after telling a local radio program that he feared for his life.
''All we're doing is arresting him on the basis of a warrant,'' Los Angeles County District Attorney's spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons said. ''If there had not been a warrant, we would have escorted him to the grand jury.''
''He is a witness and we need him to authenticate the tape recording, otherwise its value in court would be greatly diminished,'' Gibbons said. Crooks shot his videotape from a motel room across the street from the scene of the incident in Inglewood, which abuts south-central Los Angeles.
Crooks called a KFI-AM talk radio show hosted by John Kobylt and Ken Chiampou on Wednesday to discuss the case and said he was afraid that officers would be ''coming after'' him for videotaping the beating of 16-year-old Donovan Jackson.
'I FEAR FOR MY LIFE'
''I fear for my life,'' Crooks said. ''They're going to kick my ass in a cell and take turns on me, probably.''
Deputy District Attorney Kurt Livesay, who was also a guest on the show, then told Crooks over the air that authorities did not want to hurt him, and asked that he give his address to investigators. Instead, Crooks hung up the phone.
The videotape, first broadcast on Sunday, shows Inglewood Police Officer Jeremy Morse picking up Jackson and slamming him face-first onto a patrol car. Several seconds later, Morse is seen slugging Jackson in the face with a closed fist.
The tape sparked cries of racism and comparisons to the incendiary 1991 beating of Rodney King, which was also videotaped. The acquittal of four Los Angeles officers in that case led to the worst urban riots in modern U.S. history.
Several local law enforcement agencies and the Federal Bureau of Investigation were investigating the altercation between Jackson and Morse, a three-year veteran of the Inglewood Police Department. U.S. Attorney John Ashcroft sent his top civil rights deputy to Los Angeles on the case.
Jackson and his 41-year-old father, Coby Chavis, who was present during the incident, filed a federal civil rights lawsuit on Wednesday against the officers involved in their arrest, the city of Inglewood and the County of Los Angeles.
Black leaders, including congresswoman Maxine Waters, a Democrat who represents the area, and Inglewood Mayor Roosevelt Dorn have called for Morse to be immediately fired and brought up on state or federal charges.
ATTORNEY: OFFICER DESERVES DUE PROCESS
But Morse's lawyer told Reuters in an interview that the 24-year-old officer had been condemned by public officials before all of the facts were known or the probes even begun.
''I think it's quite unfortunate that people who have sworn to defend and uphold the Constitution would ignore the presumption of innocence and find individuals guilty before there's even been a trial,'' attorney John Barnett said. ''I thought we stopped doing that a couple hundred years ago.''
Barnett, who also represented one of the officers acquitted in King's beating, said public officials were offering inappropriate assurances that his client was guilty.
''This very same thing happened (in the King case),'' he said. ''That's why it was such a big surprise when they were acquitted with tragic, tragic consequences.''
Barnett said that Morse lifted Jackson from the ground and heaved him onto the car because the teen had let his legs go limp in an effort to resist.
''After his hands were cuffed, Jackson was able to reach out and grab my client's testicles,'' he said. ''And on that occasion the punch was seen in order to make that activity cease.''
In Oklahoma, meanwhile, civil rights activists called for immediate disciplinary action against two white police officers who were videotaped beating a prone black suspect with batons.
The officers, Greg Driskill and E.J. Dyer, were to remain on regular duty pending the results of a probe. Oklahoma City police have asked the FBI to investigate.
