Driver's Dad hospitalized

[sheepshead]

Do we know for sure that the cops were white?

Only a racist would assume they were white.

well you have an entire thread to scold then pal

[sheepshead]

The report says one was Hispanic. It doesn't matter what color either of them were.
It doesn't matter if he mouthed off to them, it doesn't matter if he had years of traffic violations, it doesn't matter if he resisted arrest.........what matters right now is the man's brain is bleeding, and he didn't get that from not putting his seat belt on.

You just love backing me up against the wall every chance you get dont you???

this whole thing is very troubling to me

i might have to slap a whte man today and my hispanic secretary - he he

why would a cop (the latino) still be allowed to work if he has a "history of harrassing african americans?"

i understand everybody getting all worked up over the race issue, but to me the real issue is abuse of power. time and time again, cops get away with horrible crimes that would result in anyone of us getting locked up for months/years while they get nothing but paid leave and a slap on the wrist. the cops are here to "protect us", not "beat us and leave us on the sidewalk for some unpaid driving citations".

i'm not saying that every cop is evil and out to get us either. i believe the majority of the police force is in it for the right reasons and wants to help out society. but the small percentage of them that pull this sort of bullshit need to be held responsible for their crimes just like anyone else would be.

Re: Driver's Dad hospitalized

However, at a news conference today in Houston, family spokesman Quanell X, contradicted parts of the earlier written statement, saying Marvin Driver Jr. was taken to the hospital from the police station. Also, he said Driver Jr. was not combative with officers in any way.

I tend to think people with actual complaints have lawyers as spokespeople, not crazy black activists.

"crazy black activist?"

what do u know about him?

ignorant and classless

i hate listening to white folk talk about black issues!

nice avatar btw GROW UP

Apparently I know more about him than you do, but that doesn't surprise me. Your culture is to remain ignorant because to not be so is an insult to your upbringing, right? Don't want that Uncle Tom label would ya?

Your posts have been either some of the most entertaining self-depreciating blackie nonsense I've read in a while or another sad example of some fool upholding the stereotype. Either way, congratulations. Oh, and learn how to drive. Damn blacks and their cars driving all crazy. It's no wonder you got to beat them when you get them out their car.

Now if you'll excuse me, Zool and I are off to our weekly KKK knitting circle/tea club for privileged white folk.

I was wondering if the inter-generational effects you refer to might have been actually brought about by a welfare culture promulgated by liberals in order to create a permanent underclass to caucus with left-wing white elites?

But that still doesn't explain the bad driving.

Better book.

Better book.

You miss Gregory Peck's wonderful portrayal of Atticus in the book though.

Lawyer? You mean a BAR card carrying attorney don't you? You got about a good of chance of justice with one of those slimy bastards as just letting the police investigate itself. They are two sides of the same potmetal coin.

No, attorneys won't do shit except protect the system. Only street protests will get the private Delaware corporate municipality called Houston to give up those cops. It's just bad for business.

Someone's been watching Erin Brockovich and the Firm a few too many times. I understand. Albert Finney was pretty damn handsome back then and Tom Cruise was at his peak. And don't worry dood, it's not gay if you jerk off to a guy with your eyes closed.

LOL. Street protests...

The only one gay around here is you.

I am talking situations like the Frank Jude beating. The old Milwaukee DA McCann had not prosecuted a single killer cop in 38 years. Until the black community got out in the street nothing would of ever come of it.
