This time a black person is beaten by white cops. He did run a stop sign so he deserved it. Note that the cops approach guns drawn, surely the typical manner when encountering a nearly 60 year old driving a Cadillac. Did I mention that he is black? Or that the arresting cop has a history of being charged with planting evidence or that the man's drug tests were all negative? Or that mysteriously all the mikes which record the conversation were turned off? Well, at least they didn't assassinate this one.

Detroit man says Inkster police beat him during traffic stop

I'm sure they had a very good reason to be following him, dragging him from his car, beating him, choking him, using the taser, making up charges which the judge immediately threw out. Just the usual stuff for a black man in America. Too bad the cameras didn't malfunction. Where is Rosemary Woods when you need her. Why does the evil media continue to cover these stories? It's not news when it happens and it just gets all those thugs in Ferguson and that tax avoiding white hater reverend an excuse for the next riot.

Something just doesn't seem right with this story. Between the cocaine charge and the fact that it took that many policemen to subdue and arrest him. Don't agree and/or understand at all with the punches to the head, but another question I have is why is this story just coming out now when it happened in January? I also don't see it being picked up by too many other news sites besides NBC and MSNBC. I would be hesitant to jump on this story until all the facts are in.

Sounds like another tragic case, but I think the elephant in the room should be addressed as the far LARGER problem it is!



"• Almost 11,000 black people were killed by other black people between the time unarmed teen Trayvon Martin in Florida was killed and his shooter, George Zimmerman, was acquitted.

• Despite the large number of killings, it's hard to name a single case where a black person killed another black person during this time.

• The United States ranks third in the world for murder.

• If Chicago; Detroit; Washington, D.C.; and New Orleans were removed from the United States' murder statistics, the U.S. would drop to fourth from the bottom for murders."

Fact Checker: Black-on-black killing claims examined

Blue Bloods TV series depicted a balanced approach to this topic.

News media has to be fed 24/7. There are many haters out there spreading lies and innuendo. White men are too often depicted as elitist or fools or evil.
I am sick of it. Its time white guys stopped being polite and speak up

Source for those numbers please. I am especially surprised by the fourth from the bottom number. Some countries have almost no murders. How many in the Vatican per year? I'd like to see your data as you want to discuss the LARGER problem. Let's get the numbers straight first

New Video Allegedly Shows Cop Planting Drug Evidence After Beating Unarmed Man | ThinkProgress


Read about the number of lawsuits against this 'robocop' and the amount of money he has cost the city in settlements. Now there is a video of him planting drugs in the man's car.

Why are there posts about blacks killing blacks on this thread? It is about three or four white Detroit area cops who dragged a 64 year old black man out of his car, put him in a choke hold, punched him in the head 16 times, and then used a Taser on him. All of this was caught on a dashcam.

One of the officers had previously been charged with planting cocaine on a person. Looks like the pattern continued.

What more proof does anyone need that this 64 year old man was brutalized by the police for no reason?

The point is, most assault and murder of blacks is overwhelmingly committed by other blacks, not a "relatively rare" case of blacks being assaulted by whites. Why concentrate attention on the "relatively rare" situation and ignore the "relatively common" situation, if not to promote racial animus?

And why is this police officer still on the job?

How about the point being to deflect the real question and to muddy up the water with an unrelated situation? Just something that my Political Science professor, Saul Alinski, would always stress as a way to counter a situation that cannot be logically explained - and used most often by neo-conservatives or other reactionaries.

Back to the topic, what valid reasons does anyone see for three policemen to drag a 64 year old man from his car, put him in a chokehold, pound his head 16 times and finally Tase him?

Absolutely NONE -- Next topic.

I don't understand how this occurred in the Democrat created utopia of Detroit? I mean Detroit has been governed by Democrats for more than 40 years. This SHOULD BE an absolute socialist utopia of health, wealth, and understanding. It should be brimming with compassion and awareness for everyone, and we should be celebrating its racial harmony and diversity. Instead, it's a decayed morass of widespread crime, blight and abandonment. Nice going liberals!

"Detroit has the highest murder and violent crime rate of any major city in the country, according to the FBI."

You would know if you had adequate reading comprehension that it didn't happen in Detroit. It happened in a suburb, but go ahead and change the subject. These cops are out of control. You ********** wonder why the negroes in this country don't just "do what the nice policeman tells you" and bring up side issues. This is about another in a series of black men getting beaten and killed by white cops for no reason or for as the cops like to say "failure to comply" Would you comply with an occupying force that seems to believe it is immune to the law? Of course you would because you've never lived as a black person.
