Beating a female cop senseless

[Gedo_Boy]

I'm not condoning what that guy did - but she is a woman.........my God. Does she think she can 'gently' slap some cuffs on a guy with some felonies

I would not have tried to take that guy down without some backup & or at least w/ my finger on the trigger with a enough distance between me & him to put a few shots in him before he approached.

I didn't address why the Nazi's got off. Im just saying MANY received lighter sentences than 60 years for the genocide of millions. While this cat got 60 years for pounding out a cop who was more than lackadaisacal in her approach to a wanted felon. But apply this approach to yourself when in the battlefield. Would you aspproach a potential enemy so carelessly? And if so, is it not your fault if he fucks you up? In my opinion, yes, when one considers the amount of training these professionals receive.

As for the guy at work, I agree with him in that it's obvious dude was a past offender, and probably for more than jaywalking, but that don't excuse her carelessness. But again, 60 years??

quote "You are assuming that he is the victim of prejudice because you assume the American judicial system is unfair towards blacks."

No assumptions here, MAC. It's fact. Well proven, too, but i'm just emphasizing the fact that 60 years was more than heavy.


BTW, she also had plates inserted in her skull. And from what I read in that forum, that footage was being used a training video buy police forces in how NOT to approach a wanted, dangerous felon.

She's lucky she didn't receive brain damage.

From what I read, she did. And I agree with you in that if I was approaching that cat, it would be from a safe distance, weapon drawn. But if you listen to the opening monologue, the narrator even emphasizes the fact that she's too close. Poor execution on her part, and she got damn near vegetablized for it.

^^ not only that, but if you study the video in detail, look at the way she is taking out the handcuffs and how she commandingly points at him as if she owns him.

Let's look at the facts. She's a woman he's a man, a HUGE man with about 100lbs more muscle mass than her.



Poor her........she believed in the power of the badge way too much.

What was she a feminist? Was she too proud to call for backup? Did she want to be the one to slap the cuffs on a hardened convict and take down the big bad guy?

[Gedo_Boy]

I counted 8 punches.........the clean head blows.

man, I feel sorry for her.

The sad thing is that by her father being in jail forever, she is going to live a disavdantaged life herself too.

That's part of the vicious cycle. I wonder if that felon had his father around as a kid himself.

"No assumptions here, MAC. It's fact. Well proven, too, but i'm just emphasizing the fact that 60 years was more than heavy. "

It was a well proven fact. That is much less so now. The biggest problems blacks have within our judicial system today is:

a. They occupy the bottom rung of the economic ladder, so they can ill afford quality legal counsel.

b. They occupy the bottom rung of the economic ladder, so they are more inclined to commit crime, including violent crime.

c. They occupy the bottom rung of the economic ladder, so they are less inclined to get a quality education and improve their economic status, which leads to more crime.

But let's fact it, he is obviously a prior felon, probably already had jail time, beats a woman cop so that she ends up with brain damage - has essentially ruined her life.

No, 60 years is about right. That a rich guy might have used a slick lawyer to reduce his sentance doesn't mean that this guy got screwed. Because some people get away with murder because the cops can't find them, doesn't mean murderers who get the death sentance are being treated unfairly. That's the rationale you are using here.

It's STILL a fact bro. MAY be less, but i'm inclined to think not.

He got screwed, no doubt. 20 years would pretty much have wrapped up the fruitful parts of that guys life. As it is, it's unlikely he'll live out his sentence. But I agree with your points, though being Canadian, i'm more inclined to ask the "Why's" to those points. And even acknowledging said points, I STILL believe 60 years was heavy, though nowhere i've read states the bottom end of that sentence. i.e 10-60.

As for Capital Punishment, again, being Canadian, i'm agin it. BUT, at least it's already on the book, so anyone committing it has no cause to b'itch when they get it, even though it's been proven that it's dished out unfairly amongst minorities. But a 60 year sentence is OBVIOUSLY, BLATANTLY arbitrary, and a white cat would've received less. No doubt in my mind.

he'll be out in 20. You know the deal.
