Bloody Arrest of Black Student Leads to Investigation/Protests

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...lack-student-leads-to-investigation/24987987/

Is this a case of police brutality? Racism? Both? Is it likely that this 20 year old honor student was so publicly intoxicated that police had to beat him so hard he required 10 stitches? Clearly both the state and UVA are concerned, but what about you PF? I'm sure the usual suspects will say he deserved it for being a thug while at the same time saying there's no proof it's about race, so let's say it's not about race--does that justify the actions of the police?

 

I'm trying to find out as much as I can about this case. From my understanding a 20 yr old was intoxicated and was trying to get into a ba. The ABC did not let him in and attempted to arrest him they brought him to the ground where something happened that cut his head to make him bleed.

What I don't know is of the ABC were stroking him, I have not found any story that says they fid. How this young man was resisting arrest. Was anything accidental.....

 

Intoxicated, underage drinking, trying to enter an establishment he was not legally allowed to enter, resisting arrest. My parents taught me not to do these things.........and I have never been arrested.........see how all this works.

 

Uncalled for police brutality. Newspaper reports that testing for intoxication published that he was not intoxicated with anything but the blackness of skin.

 

Is it me? Nothing makes sense. I have a massive headache!

 

Let me guess....drunken jackass gets taken down, bumps his little head (10 stitches isnt that many), gets a little bloody (head wounds bleed a lot, ask any EMT), and a bunch of ignorant jackasses go nuts.

Wouldnt make the news if it was a white student and a black cop.

 

Probably because black cops don't have a history of murdering white unarmed young boys and men.

 

Yes they do. It happens multiple times every single year.

 

Sure it does.

 

Eh, you play you pay. It was a head hit no doubt and he caught an edge of some concrete, nice puncture wound.

We'll see how much of a man this gentleman is if he accepts some blame for the event. If he embraces the greed for the spot light he will hurt the careers and lively hood of a few. I would also be nice to see the unedited video, what remained on the cutting room floor I'm thinking will tell a different story. Perhaps not, but it needs to be seen.

Now as for this group ABC, Alcohol Control, I think we have enough agencies with police power. This one in particular has a very crappy record.

This is the group that drew down on a young girl that had just purchased sparkling bottled water.

This stupid crap costs Tax Payers big money! It needs to end.

Stupid Stupid Stupid.

Couple things.

1) Police brutality happens to all races. The ones trying to make it about one race are actually hurting the cause.

2) At this moment we just have his word and a few pics.. Nothing else. Havent we learned not to rush to judgement yet?

3) What is a 20 year old doing trying to get into a bar in the first place.

4) Was him having to show ID racist or him being arrested racist?

 

I have heard half a dozen people in the last month say they are beginning to go from "I dont care" to "I am a little bit racist"

Noone gave two sqauts about any of this, now because black people want to be treated differently than anyone else, people are starting to get sick and tired of it. Noone cares anymore, you are now doing far more harm to the black movement by promoting stories like these.

You see that cop on the beach that basically beat the crap out of the two white kids? One was bleeding from his head too, yet noone is freaking out on that case. In fact, everyone including myself, thinks the cop was in the right.

Just like this stupid case, black people are hurting themselves more and more. Actually, not hurting themselves....

It is just that noone cares anymore. Blacks look more and more like the instigators that have the Sharptons of the world come out and immediately defend them. Whether they are right or wrong.

Its actually starting to get kinda funny.

 

ABC appears to be an army of immoral, psychopathic goons created to harvest revenue from alcohol drinkers.

It would be very interesting to see their revenue records from fines.

Goons + revenue targets = gross violation of rights

 

It feels like they are holding info back. They are trying to make this police brutality but have not said the police struck him. They won't say how it got to the point that they tok him yo the ground either.

 

Are you saying that all white cops murder unarmed black men? If your not why make such a broad brush statement? are you also saying that black cops don't have a history of killing unarmed black men?

 

Oh snap!
Somebody enlightened a black youth.....waaaaaa!

 

I wouldn't say "noone" cares as both UVA and the governor have expressed concern over it. And it may not be a race issue, but from what I see it's very clearly a police brutality issue. Americans of all races don't forfeit their rights when they are arrested; the 8th Amendment is still in effect.

That's not even kind of what he said.

This could happen regardless of race. Perhaps you should spend more time learning the Constitution; the 8th Amendment applies to all Americans, regardless of race.

 

"was so publicly intoxicated".........you answered your own question. One question.....how much more in taxes are you willing to pay so cops can coddle every "so publicly intoxicated" moron who decides in their alcohol/drug induced haze that it's a "GOOD" idea to fight with the cops.

My Dad used to say when I was growing up......"A mistake is only a mistake if you don't learn anything from it, when you do it's called a lesson and you always have to pay for school". In this case his payment for schooling why being "so publicly intoxicated" with alcohol/drug that he thought it was a "GOOD" idea to fight with the cops, cost him 10 stitches for the schooling. When I wanted to move from the East Coast to California, I worked as a bouncer in an Irish Pub for 4 hours a night in addition to my regular job. One night a drunk at the bar was grabbing waitresses backsides as they came by. The girls came to me and asked me to "make him stop". I went over to the bar and asked him nicely to stop doing that. Without a word he nailed me across the side of the face with his beer mug, taking out one of my teeth in the process. The bar stools were of the high back variety, I pulled him over backwards to the floor and the fight was on. Myself, the other bouncer and the owner taught him a lesson in civility his parents obviously couldn't or wouldn't. Life is about learning as you go, one either learns from life's mistakes or one repeats them till one does. I learned the hard way not to get within beer mug hitting range of a stinking drunk, I paid with a tooth. Hopefully, he learned 1) Not to grab girls by the backside while drunk in a bar and 2) If you do, you will likely be taking an ambulance to the Hospital BEFORE being arrested for assault. Life is a learning experience every day, as it should be.

 

Did you watch the video? It appears that he wasn't actually fighting with anybody

 

Yes I did. It starts when the dude is already on the ground screaming the cops are racist, so the video proves what an (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) the guy getting arrested really is. Do you have video from the beginning of the encounter? if not I have to assume it's just another drunk fighting with the cops learning what his parents should have taught him when he was little.

I have zero sympathy for folks that are learning life lessons the hard way, that's their choice to do so.

 

I have been saying that for quite awhile. If nothing else, the way 0bama has divided America has caused me to be suspicious of blacks and their raging causes. The way they get into a faux snit about every little thing is sickening and causes everyone to dislike them as a whole just a little more.

And before they say I shouldn't judge the entire bunch on the actions of a few, as soon as they stop chanting and marching on behalf of the entire bunch, I'll think about it. Never in my life have I seen anything so repulsive. This isn't the day of "Selma". Blacks have every single right and opportunity any white has. But they want to sit and (*)(*)(*)(*) and moan about some perceived injustice.

I call BS.

 

Ayuh,..... Agreed,.... It seems civil rights ain't good enough anymore,....

Now it's 'bout Special rights,....
'n with all the Special rights awarded to the blacks, now I want My civil rights restored,.....

 

Then please tell me what he kind of said

 

2 things:

1. The video shows a bunch of people walking around and not doing a thing to help this kid or come to his defense. That tells me they didn't see the cops do anything wrong. If the cops had screwed up you can bet "white privilige" would have meant that the people milling about would have said something, but not a peep.

2. It doesn't take long for the honor student to go into "you're a MOD EDIT - Rule 9 racist" mode. This is the universal defense for minorities when they don't have one.
