1. Probably should not be cops is the understatement of the century. Those are the kinds of people

that prisons were built for. They should never be let out.

Training also has nothing to do with it, IMHO. No one should need training on how not to be a Nazi psychopath. But the screening process obviously leaves a lot to be desired. (All over the country.)

2. SO SAD!

As a parent, I'm sure his father wont let this rest!!!
Can you imagine hearing your son calling for you-how his Heart must be breaking!!! :hug:

3. For Christ Sake, this is so wrong

I want to know about those cops and how this happened. This is the shit that drives me nuts because while at the the same time there are good cops, there is this shit. I'm guessing it was always so, and so now the question is

1) How were these police trained where they are?
2) What was the procedure of screening them as hires (do people such as the civil service commission even have procedures to weed out fucks like this?

This shit is important.

4. These pigs are murderers

and this is NOT an isolated incident. We're living in a police state and they have no compunction about use of force. Many times a year you read or see these kinds of police brutality. Obviously the guy could have been rendered unconscious with one crack of a baton or they could have thrown a net over him and swarmed on him. For five (or how many?) jack booted nazi thugs to be beating on one unarmed kid until he's dead is way beyond redemption. Be in Washington DC october 6 to rise up and put an end to the nazis running this country.

5. Without cruelty, fascism cannot exist.

It is as if Christ spoke to us from centuries past about kindness toward one another for this very reason.

In a society, like ours, when we see an increase in bullying, cruelty and a complete lack of sensitivity we see a corresponding trend toward fascism.

Stop the cruelty, people, and you stop the march of fascism.
