Good God, does the NYPD have a weight requirement? Was that 2 or 3 whales attacking the minnow?
For some reason (weapons, insanity) the police never seem to go off on the cocaine and meth dealers with the same viciousness they mete out to potheads and pot sellers.

I am less than optimistic that the results of the investigation will mete out justice or have sufficient consequences for these officers who clearly should be fired and prosecuted.

I was shocked to see that the victim here was African American. That almost never happens.

Does anyone really believe that there are just a few bad apples in the bushel when all the evidence shows that the bushel is bad with just a few good apples thrown on top for show?
Disgusting!
In general, I don’t trust the cops, would not assist the cops if asked and have very little positive to say about cops and it’s ALL based on my personal experiences and personal observations.

Color me shocked.
The forked tongue approach fails here.
What lesson is to be learned here for Tribble? Is it that, since he’s going to get the hell beaten out of him anyway, he may as well sell something with higher profit margins than marijuana?
Oh, I’m confident the NYPD will throw the two who were assaulting the kid under the bus, and give the one who didn’t stop them, or seem to think anything unusual was happening, a thorough wrist-slapping.
Because how are you going to convince people that this isn’t pretty much the norm when they think they’re not being videoed if you don’t throw them under the bus.
This is the mentality that Guiliani and Bloomberg were going for. It’s what conservatives want cops to do and to be. On sites with wingnut dominated comments, I guarantee you there’s going to be a chorus of cheers and victim blaming.

And yet again, if not for there being video, this wouldn’t have actually “happened”.

“arrested on suspicion of possessing 17 small bags of marijuana”
Dude’s a fucking saint and was delivering them to glaucoma patients…or not, because who fucking cares, it was just weed and not hurting anyone until these two racist pigs decided the brown kid needed to be given a lesson in oppression.

I think eventually we’re going to reach the point where a cop can’t be out in public without everyone nearby whipping out their phones and filming. It seems like the only way this is going to get controlled.

My son’s head little league football coach is a county sheriff. He and his wife, an Iraq war veteran, have adopted two black children, the oldest of the two having ADHD in the extreme. He is a good coach, a thoughtful man, and he and his wife are loving parents. And, yet, he has much of the same mindset that one has come to think of as “typical” of law enforcement across the country - “marijuana is a gateway drug,” “civilian oversight of the police is a nuisance.”
We’ve taught our children, white, middle class, suburban teenagers, to never challenge a police officer over anything.

Yet another example of why marijuana needs to be legal. How about we arrest corporate criminals and let the cops beat the shit out of THEM? I think that would do more for stopping crime than beating up or murdering black teenagers.

Stupid Yankee cops…arrogance of power…
I’d love to watch Jamie Diamond get his nuts handed to him …
Until you get to court and present the video evidence.
