If he was Black they would have shot him dead first then applied the hand cuffs.

Now, now…he was arrested in North Carolina, not New York City or Baltimore
At the very least they’d have thrown him to the ground like officer Casebolt did to the girl in the bikini. They didn’t yell at him, or force him to the ground. Hell, half the officers holstered their guns and turned their backs on the mass murderer. It’s shocking, frankly.
And then parked a taser next to the body.

There was no SWAT team. No armored vehicle. No struggle.
As it is almost always the case when it comes to coward mass murderers, which are usually of two kinds:
- Those who fire a bullet in their empty heads after committing the crime
- Those who are arrested without much commotion because, as cowards do, they can’t fight people far superior to them
Yes, it would have been a great idea to throw him to the ground and jeopardize the case against him. Ummm, no.
Officer Casebolt pretty much committed assault, and may face criminal charges, and the girl he body slammed will likely sue the city. So please tell me why it would have been a good idea for these cops to do the same thing? This kid, like most mass murderers, was a wimp who when confronted with other people with guns becomes totally submissive. That’s why Roof picked on mostly elderly and defenseless people, he knew he would not get any kind of resistance. Same with Lanza. Wimps. Cowards. Tough talk, but when confronted with someone who also has a gun…wimps.
Unreal, now people WANT the cops to act stupid and jeopardize the case because the perp was white. There’s a twist.

Well of course it was calm. Dylann Roof wasn’t so much rebelling against authority as he was ENFORCING it.
Okay, that’s hyperbole, but I think you know what I’m talking about.

This is like the old Eddie Murphy SNL skit, where he puts on white face to understand what it’s really like in the white world. No overt struggle at an arrest, take out while you’re waiting in jail, probably no cuffs when he’s being transported. Who knows, probably a minimum security jail with recreation activities.

What? Jeopardize the case? Hardly. There are not only eyewitnesses, but he confessed to the murders. The case is open and shut.
He’s a dead man walking. I suppose the police knew that when they arrested him. Too bad others who do far less serious crimes aren’t afforded that treatment.
Too many others.
There are many cases where charges were actually dropped due to police brutality. Not likely here, but a lawsuit could lead to a settlement in the form of pleading to lesser charges.
Agreed, but those cases have nothing to do with this one. There is no indication whatsoever that these cops were bad cops.
Turn of the f**king radio.
What on Earth are you talking about? All Unabogie did was comment on how the arrest would have been treated if the murderer had been black. He didn’t say that it should be treated that way. You were the one who imported that idea into the discussion.
Unabogie did say that turning one’s back on a mass murderer is probably a bad idea. That is true no matter how cowardly you believe the mass murderer to be.
Go back and read Unabogie’s post.
Total speculation. That was my point. I would note that there were several cops at that pool party, and only one was an asshole. That gets projected to over 1 million cops being like that.
I’ve seen cops get killed in the past few weeks, some by blacks in custody or about to be detained. So should I assume every black suspect is going to do that? No.

After they arrested him, took his fingerprints and bought him a Whopper, sounds like they went on to ask him if he wanted fries to go with that, while dabbing the corners of his mouth with a napkin when he was done.

No, that was not the point you made. What you stated was: “So please tell me why it would have been a good idea for these cops to do the same thing?” Unabogie was making a comparison to how we have all seen black suspects for minor offenses treated badly versus this young assassin treated well. There was no implication that everyone should be treated badly.
It’s not about speculation as to how this deluded scum might have been treated were he black – although we all have our suspecions-- it was an implied comparison between how he was treated and how we have all seen blacks being badly treated when arrested for minor crimes.
Plus a comment about proper police technique when dealing with a mass murderer no matter how submissive you as a cop believe him to be.

Mr. Comments is a George Zimmerman fanboi who consistently defends Zimmerman and his atrocious acquittal. I don’t expect him to give an honest reading to anything regarding race.
Yes, there is something off there. When he approaches such topics it is as if he is missing logical steps.
Actually I said he should have been charged with negligent homicide, and he would have been convicted of that. The murder charge was dumb, as we saw.
I will take a moment to address this post, which comically states that Casebolt may face criminal charges. This is frankly ridiculous. There’s no indication of this and with his resignation, the case is essentially closed. Perhaps her family sues and wins, sure. But that’s a far cry from a cop being convicted of a crime for roughly detaining someone and putting them in cuffs.
As for your other stupid comments, others have shown how reading comprehension isn’t your strong suit.
