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

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.)

Agreed, it looks like a case of excessive force. But I think it is unfair to say that that sort of thing only happens in the South.

There are many good reasons not to go into the deep South, but police brutality isn't one of them - it can happen anywhere. The profession sure does seem to attract a lot of ***holes, and the lengths some policemen will go to to defend the actions of their fellow officers is astounding.

*edit*

Just watched the video.

I hope that woman sues that piece of garbage for every penny he's worth.

Yes TvM - can't go looking for any statistics to back up your claim can you?

In other words - you want to be able to throw hateful, random, "racist" crap out there about a group ya don't like - but don't want to have to back it up......

A quick search of data would "learn" you quite a bit. Look at what is termed "Arrest releated death" for 2003 thru 2006 -

http://bjs.ojp.usdoj.gov/content/dcr...dcst06let7.cfm

The leading group with the most deaths? West - with California being the leader. Actually California led ALL the states in the number of arrestees who died in arrest related ways.... In fact - for this time frame - California actually had only 7 deaths less than the combined 12 states of the Midwest! If your stereotypical "them there rednecks" view was accurate - these numbers for the South would be expected to be substantially highter - but they are not. After all - the south is supposedly where a black or hispanic must fear all the white racists according to people like you. In the time span that California killed or was involved in the death of 465 arrestees - your target in the OP - Louisiana - had all of 23....(While Louisiana didn't report in 2003 - its pretty doubtful they killed 400+ people that year, then only popped one the next.)

If you look at the majority of "cop watch" websites that look to track and monitor the behavior of police - notice that they all tend to gravitate to one geographical region - the west. Where there is a problem - people make a ruckus..... Its also interesting to note that the prevalence of brutality appears to be located in areas of the highest concentration of people - aka - cities. Which is why the midwest has such a lower occurance - fewer cities with people packed like sardines.... The majority of highly populated cities - are in the west....

*Ever notice how that old show "Cops" is always in some city - never in a rural area?*

If you want to talk stereotypes - in the south we have police officers like Barney Fife and Andy Taylor - ya'll have the cops that beat up Rodney King and guys like Mark Furhman.... The South wins that game every time....

Stereotypes are exactly that - but seeing how you would rather defend your idiocy with "well don't ask me to back it up - I really don't have any statistics but this one post just reinforced all the stuff I think to be true so its all I need!" - I will keep this thread handy next time you want to complain about being stereotyped...

Maybe I won't have to use it - you might actually grow up a little.... But I ain't holding my breath.
