Subject: The cop will be judge. I saw the tape and had the same reaction. I know you all are going what dd? but click
In reply to: Lafaux 's message, "FBI Probes Teens Arrest" on 10:27:10 07/10/02 Wed

The slam was wrong. The punch was wrong if the kid did not grab the cops jewels as is being reported (the news). Let say the cop was trying to get his jewles free. He will probaly loose his job and could go to Jail just for the slam.

Just wonder how did the cop get the slash on his head? Any clues.

As for the video taper he has warrants out for his arrest in Northern CA. Got that from the news. From what they reported Assualt and Battery. So is he guilty to.

As for that Blue code of Silence it needs to go away.

[> [> What, dd? The cop said that the man whose hands were handcuffed behind his back grabbed his jewels? Well, let's say that that's true. So, what should the officer do? I say that he should report that as a detail to support charges that the young man in custody assaulted an officer. The cop got a slash on his head? Hmmmm! After seeing the way they swing their nightsticks, it's a possibility that he hit himself. (sarcasm) -- Lafaux, 05:34:41 07/14/02 Sun

[> [> [> I have no doubt this cop will not get off nor will the other cop who punched the child either. The problem I have with this is the politicians shooting off their mouths with such stuff as "no justice, no peace" it's like they're trying to incite riot, every riot that has happened in LA has been fueled by the same thing, the worst part, after the smoke clears it's the decent people of which ever community that's been trashed that suffers the most. (Evidently the mayor of Inglewood agrees with me, he doesn't want any of that) -- Candy, 07:46:36 07/14/02 Sun

[> [> [> [> Violence begets violence. One of the ugliest acts to occur in our society (outside of dirty cops beating a defenseless person in their custody) is a riot. Talk about "no justice"! But, we have to be able to trust our officials, and juries to do the right thing; otherwise, it leads to the worst type of frustration. Riots are the reaction of people, who feel they have no other recourse except violence. -- Lafaux, 09:21:46 07/14/02 Sun

[> [> [> [> [> oh I agree Lafaux, any riot for what ever reason is counter productive............ -- Candy, 14:30:45 07/14/02 Sun

It just seems to me that LA is a hot bed of unrest ALL the time, as with most things you can only judge others by yourself and your own experiences and I can honestly say to this day, this old white lady still carries a grudge against the cops and I'm still skittish of them because of the goons in LA. I could tell you stories that would make your hair curl (if it's not already) However I do think after the last riots things have changed and the proof of that is the subject of this topic, before King, nobody in authority would have given a rats patoot about the incident and probably would have said "oh that's to bad, but I don't see nothin wrong with popping a smartass punk" I'd also bet heavy $$ if OJ had been found guilty there would have been another riot, seems to me LA loves their riots evey bit as much as they hate their police dept....jmo as always,

[> [> [> [> [> [> You're right about the riots bringing about change. Too bad that it took the riots to get people's attention. Unfortunately, it seems to be the only thing to bring about change. Don't like it, but it's true. This country was founded on revolution. Riots come out of frustration from the feeling of helplessness. Seems to me that America doesn't react to violence against black folk unless it's caught on camera. (click) -- Lafaux, 15:52:40 07/14/02 Sun

Nobody reacted to the killings of black Americans in the South until, some white boys from the North became victims. It was also because TV again brought police brutality to the forefront that change came about, but people also fooled themselves into believing that such things only occurred in the South, so it was allowed to fester in other communities, large and small.

About the O.J. verdit. Your money would probably be safe because most black Americans saw O.J. as another victim of the legal system. He represented so many who have been railroaded because they don't have the money to get the best legal help available.

"He represented so many who have been railroaded because they don't have the money to get the best legal help available."

Huh? Is this connection/representation being made solely on the basis of the color of his skin? He got off because he had the best legal help his money could buy. He was guilty as sin and yet the inept LA police couldn't manage to garner evidence properly in order for Marcia to get a conviction (plus she didn't do her homework either). Railroaded? Hardly.

Er... Yes! You find it outrageous? Does it offend you? Okay, maybe you don't want to hear about those who have been oppressed "connecting" with Heroes who look like them, or people deemed to be victims, but it's true.

I know why O.J. got off! I think I stated that it was because he had the best legal team money could buy. If the inept LA cops weren't so intent on taking the legal system into their own hands, they would not have given O.J's legal team the ammunition that they had to free him.

Guilty as sin? No! Not in this country, not until the jury comes back with a verdit.

Railroaded? No, but I didn't say that he was. What I said was that those who had been railroaded looked to see how the system would work for somebody who did have the money to provide himself with the best legal team.

Okay, I misunderstood what you were trying to say.

Not outraged or offended. (Well actually that whole trial on tv was outrageous and offensive I guess).

And I know that he was not found guilty in a court of law. Go forth OJ, tee off!

He's still guilty as sin. Not legally. But in reality. And morally.

I won't argue with you there! I wasn't trying to defend O.J. I have no love, or respect for the man.

And believe me, I wasn't trying to defend our country's legal system. Justice is not blind. Colorblind or otherwise. Money talks. Bullshit gets ten to twenty.

I know where you were coming from. I think that all of us see the injustice. We just have different ways of approaching it. That's cool, makes for discussion. It's when we stop discussing that we are in trouble.
