Police beating sparks cries of "racism"


iconIs anyone taking odds on how long it will take for the lawsuit to be filed? I watched the video footage of Nathaniel Jones confrontation with the police twice. I have to admit that I agree with the Mayor's initial assessment that it clearly shows "a 400-pound man violently attacking a police officer in a manner that put the lives of police officers at risk".

Personally, I've always advocated tough treatment of criminals, and I don't think that police should be subjected to this kind of behavior. At the risk of sounding cruel, I would say if a man takes a swing at an officer, he gets a bullet in the leg. A second punch is worth a bullet to the chest. That goes double for 350 pound PCP addicts.

Did you ever listen to the audio without watching the tape? The guy was screaming "white boy redneck", the cops were only saying "put your hands behind your back".

I hope these cops don't go down for this. They didn't do anything wrong.
