Yup. Better to just close the drapes when your neighbor is getting hit by her man. Or dad gives junior the whooping he deserves. Not really anybody's business.....

I love the cowards who post threads like this, yet when blacks and Hispanics continue to be murdered in record numbers by their own race, there's no thread, no outrage. Only when the evil police kill someone (deservedly or undeservedly) do we see the hypocrites and cowards come out of the woodwork. Where were all of you when blacks teens are shooting other black teens in St. Louis, Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta...each and every day? Where's your activism? Where's your middle school cap-and-gown photos of the "innocent" victims of gang violence?

It's horribly unfortunate that the person didn't comply with the police officers and attempted to assault one of the officers. It's terribly sad that he suffered a heart attack because of his consequences. It's horribly stupid to disrespect the law by not complying with what you're told to do by an officer. I like bottom lines and the bottom line is be respectful, in control, and responsible and you will walk away with your life. Stupid is as stupid does.

That's right, it's not. The wife knows or should know how to call the police herself if she feels it's necessary, and Junior may well deserve the spanking he's receiving, and unless his wooping involves baseball bats etc it's nothing anyway. If they ASK for your help, sure give it, otherwise yes it's none of your business. I'm completely serious, and no I don't advocate violence or abuse.

I don't understand why no one is talking about this?!?!?

Rodney King - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Please don't make light of this. That was a horrible circumstance, as is the one linked by the OP. One doesn't have to be a "police hater," to use one poster's term, to want to stop the deaths of civilians at the hands of those paid with our tax dollars to "protect and serve" citizens.

So, it's your opinion that police should not investigate domestic violence.

Listen up women and children, if your husband or father uses you as a punching bag, the cops shouldn't get involved. It's up to you to "man up" and handle business.

Yes, I know it was the mother who assaulted the daughter, but if the cops won't be investigated domestic violence, as it appears shyguylh wants to make policy, battered women and children should be ready to pay the price. Better a few thousand women get beat senseless than somebody have to show an ID after cops are called.

It comes from the practice of 'good' cops standing up for 'bad' cops, no matter what. Like it or not, that's gang mentality. An innocent citizen shouldn't have to fear police. Don't try to tell me that police officers don't believe EVERYTHING they hear from a 'citizen' is a lie! Got cops in the family! At least one that shouldn't be allowed near firearms.... but he's a captain, go figgure.
