Like I've said before, we don't know the full extent of the situation at IHOP. Lots of people are making lots of bold statements without all of the facts. Some people just plain don't like police and don't respect authority, and this is the kind of outcome I expect when that's the case.
I respect and thank police officers every day that I'm able to for the work that they do. I also believe "questioning authority" is a duty of every citizen if said "authority" is out of line or abusing their power. The two are not mutually exclusive.

May they R.I.P. Sad what happened to these men. All innocent.

(NYPD. Trigger happy bastards....)

Off Topic:

This one irked me the most. They shot him thinking he was a thief, while the thief who happened to be Latino escaped. I hope the cops who shot him get hit hard by Karma.

I completely agree.

However, there's gotta be a better way of questioning authority than injecting yourself into the arrest of a rowdy customer at IHOP by holding a camera in the face of the arresting officer, grabbing him by the face and the collar, and then pounding away at him with all your might. Especially if it's 4 am and you've been tippling yourself.

Agreed, there were probably 150+ people in the establishment, all of them watched like they were supposed to, this girl was the only one that had to get involved for no reason. The original girl getting arrested, could have shut up, left, or gotten arrested without scrreaming, kicking and fighting, and nothing would have happened. The excuse I didnt know he was a police officer is the biggest bs I have ever heard. So he didnt identify himself, big deal, he is standing at the door when you come in, wearing an apd jacket, with a gun holster, etc. Everyone in there knows who he is, as does she because as the cop is trying to arrest her, she keeps sayin officer please I didnt do nothing.

I agree.

I despise the reality that our country and the people living in it can entertain so many culturally contradicting rules without questioning the rationality in abiding by them.

It's as if women wanted this feminist movement because they wanted to be treated as equals. But when the equal treatment gets a little too rough for them, these same ladies try to pull the chivalry/puritanism card and claim that they they are the weaker sex. Total fail.

You women can't have it both ways in my book. You can't have the total equality to a man that the feminist movement grants you in one moment and then pull out the puritanical tradition card in the next. This is the 21st century.

The bed of equality has been made, ladies. Sleep in it!

Ladies learn your role, if you hit a man get ready to have to fight like a man. Women always claim that men are stronger and that is the reaon we should not hit back, that is a bunch of BS! You will not see me starting a fight with Mike Tyson in his prime because I know he will kick my butt. Ladies learn your role in life, if someone is stronger than you dont pick a fight with them. It is common sense. Some women think that they can do whatever with your repercussions. A woman can spit on you, hit your 1 month old child, blow up a building, beat up your 99 year old mom but men are suppose hit you back????? GTFOH!

YouTube - The Empire Strikes in IHOP restaurant

She had the camera in his face and pulled his shoulder then he slapped her, she punched him and then he swung back. She didn't deserve that punch, I don't care what anyone says. She was annoying and touching the cop and definitely DESERVED everything that happened after he punched her(being hauled to the ground, cuffed etc.) but the punch not so much.
Well if it does go to court will these star wars people be questioned? They seem to be apart of it....least thats what the girls are saying.

Anymore I'd claim some other "white" idiots roaming around being retarded .

Added note Miss A N Leavell Myspace page finally is down after touting don't mess with her banter all over it, but her Mug shots from Ohio arrest are still up *wink* on 4/14/2011
