Their texts messages pretty much gave them away. They’d planned to crack skulls all along. They didn’t realize that the black dude they thought was a protester was actually a cop. And they beat him mercilessly to a pulp.

A few bad apples, huh? That orchard is getting bigger and bigger.

Quote:
The officers believed Hall was a protester and assaulted him “while he was compliant and not posing a physical threat to anyone,” the indictment says. All had been assigned to the police “Civil Disobedience Team” working protest duty, the indictment said. Several had exchanged electronic messages before and after the arrest expressing “disdain” for protesters and “excitement about using unjustified force against them and going undetected while doing so.”

Maybe you should take it up with their boss?

Told you many times, the cities with the worst reputation for these types of abuses are well known yet due to party politics the leadership is protected.

If you won't hold those in charge accountable then what do you propose beyond idly complaining that it happens?

It takes very few bad cops to make a huge mess.
Add in that almost none will turn in the bad cops.

Uhhh...police abuse is happening all across this country in areas represented by both parties.

I can site all kinds of examples in conservative areas like East and West Texas, Georgia and Alabama. Not to mention how when these cops are caught, Conservatives throw their bodies in front of the police as human shields from prosecution. It ain’t just the Democrat protected police unions and you know it.

What do I propose? You’re not prepared to hear my answer, so don’t ask. And it ain’t singing We Shall Overcome Someday while marching down the street.

Does it involve looting local businesses and burning down buildings. In other words, a typical peaceful protest.

These 4 cops beat the hell out of an undercover officer who just happened to be an African American. Oops...I know you hate it. Not that they nearly killed the guy, but you hate that they got caught beating the WRONG guy.

Did the link say anything about him looting?

Was Philando Castile looting? Was Alton Sterling looting! Was Amadpu Diallo looting? Was Botham Jean looting? Was Emantic Bradford looting? Was Jamal Roberson looting? Was Laquan McDonald looting? Was Justine Diamond looting? Was Daniel Shaver looting when he was begging for his life?

I was curious as to what you said you proposed to do. Saying we are not prepared to hear your answer is hilarious.

Good. Hope you got a great laugh.

Now what about the cops beating an officer that they didn’t know was an officer? Huh?
