Another example of why I'll never go into the deep South if I can avoid it
 

Well...

A. She was being a b*tch

B. The cop was being an A-Hole

C. Either the limit of your experience or the depth of your ignorance one must be VAST if you think this sort of thing only goes on in the "deep south".

:o

God man - get over your racism and hatred of anyone not the same as the left coast.

"Oh my god - look - go to the deep SOUTH and get beat up by cops!"

Perhaps you would like to discuss the case of Oscar Grant - held down, punched and while held down - shot and killed. Happened more recently than your little episode - out there on the "lets all hug and get along" left coast - a little place called San Francisco...

At least 2 cops there - the guy on the ground - beaten and then killed - and OMG it wasn't in the deep South!!!

Bad stuff happens everywhere - and it doesn't matter what part of the country. In fact, if you really want to look at incidents of police brutality - the West Coast is going to likely have a higher incident rate per capita.

Yes - a horrible thing happened to that woman it looks like - she very likely got the crap beat out of her by a cop who got tired of her drunk lip. At least she didn't end up dead....

Have nothing better to do than try to find a cultural or geographical group you don't like and run em into the ground? Oh - but its ok as long as they don't normally agree with you.

Despicable. :nope:

Shhh, let him wallow :shucks:

Well, you now have one more reason not to come to the deep south TvM. People there don't like being stereotyped anymore than anyone else from anywhere, and I'm sure they would react to such thinking with hostility.

I'm not trying to bash you TvM. God knows I've been just as judgemental, and subsequently wrong, on some issues. All I ask is that you step back for a moment and consider what you are opining. You're equating the behavior of one person with the behaviour of tens of millions of people based upon where they live. Furthermore, you have forgotten that many residents of the deep south once lived in the North and other regions. What you're saying is hardly better than discriminating on the basis of skin color.

In other news, the video itself is questionable in its legal credibility. When I played it, there were sections of audio missing, though that may be due to the fact that I have a poor connection tonight ( it tooke like 5 minutes to load). The woman's belligerent and irrational behaviour, in combination with drunkeness, may well have resulted in injury to herself.

Personally, I think the cop probably did hurt her, but the question remains as to whether or not it was an intentional act. As stupid as that sounds, the legal system works that way. There have been as many cases of alleged police brutality being proven false as there have been convictions of police brutality.

However, no matter what anyone thinks of the article, the video, or the pictures, there is certainly no reason to believe that this kind of incident happens more often in the South. Even if it did, there is even less evidence to corroborate the idea that such incidents are commonplace in the South simply because it is the South, right?

So, conservative white guys (i.e., NOT black or hispanic or hippies or whatever) don't know where I'm coming from on this. Surprise?

I never said Bad Things don't happen w/cops outside the Deep South. They do!! I'm reasonably sure that it's far more likely to happen in states where authoritarianism rules, and the DS is certainly that. And it has a long and well established record of corruption in law enforcement. Once again, that doesn't mean there is no corruption anywhere else, but it seems to be on a different level in the South. I am reasonably sure I could mine numbers to back me up, but I don't care to expend the effort. You'd probably think I'm cherrypicking, anyway, and ignore it. I know I do when I'm pretty sure someone else is cherrypicking.

Freedom isn't "free to be X, Y, and Z, and everything else is persecuted."

Speakin' uh which, i better get muh white robe to tha cleaners an have em wash off the blood stains.

Got us a lynchin' down in Anderson county next weekend and i don' wonna be the only guy what shows up like i aint got no manners and whut not.

:yawn:

TvM... you realize of course you are playing on the EXACT same level as the racist trash you claim to hate so much when you make threads like that right?

I have been fortunate enough to travel all over this country... loved something and hated something about every place i have been.

open up a little bit my precious lil flower you might learn something.

Theres nothing rong in the south, just the stupid stuff that gets on the web... only difference is is some cultural stuff, and some peoples accents...

On the subject of the beating, I thought it was really interesting to read the reactions and comments posted by the other law enforcement folks.

You guys ought to cut Torvald some slack. The msm go out of their way to promote the stereotype. You can hardly blame folks for believing it.

There aint nothin wrong with my accent :stare:

Man... i climbed off of my cousin to come in here and type sumthin' clever and i dun got all the way in here and forgot whut i was gonna say

:har:

It's why you folks lost the Civil War... :D

It would seem that in the eyes of the left, being a racist is OK, as long as you're anti-white.
(It's amazing how many people with white skin are members of that club.)
