And yes very often burglars and punks steal and damage from construction sites
How would you know this? Is it COMMON for three trucks full of armed men to go chasing people down?

All that's necessary is that the arrestor has a reasonable belief that the person committed a felony in the past.

That doesn't cut it. As my torts professor loved to say, there's the majority rule, the minority rule, and the Georgia rule. What is the rule in Georgia?

I will, and I almost never defend the cops. The racist media lied their asses off. They showed you an edited video that decontextualized the beating. They left out minutes of video in which Rodney King demonstrated essentially superhuman strength and could not be subdued. Would you have preferred that they shoot him? That was the alternative, and it's an alternative that's used all too often.

Emmett Till was alleged to have done more than whistle, and he was killed for being impertinent instead of showing contrition (when the woman's husband would have been satisfied with giving him a good beating). Emmett's dad, by the way, was a rapist who was executed by the US Army for murdering an Italian woman and raping two others.

Why do some white people on CD think a black person has to answer them because they ask a question?

Like,who are YOU?

Black people do NOT have to answer to you.

Same thing with Trayvon.

So what did Emmett Till do?

Meanwhile,we have accounts of black women getting raped in the south during that period and nothing happened to their attackers.

That’s a culturally-engrained entitlement issues that they have from Jim Crow and slavery days. They and those like them still believe that someone black must answer their question when and how they want it and if the black person doesn’t, they feel taking that person’s life is justified. That type of entitlement certainly falls within the scope of mental illness somewhere.

I have to agree.

Some people seem to feel that they have the right to ride around demanding that people submit to them. An Ex-cop? I can see that. he spent a career making people submit to his authority. His son? He's with daddy, daddy says go for it.

The black man in question is like, Well who the Eff are you? I would be too. I grew up in farm country. Lived my entire life in farm country. The exception being my 4 years in the military and the last 2 living abroad. 51 out of 57. Never did I or anyone I know pull what those necks in the trucks did. That is just insane.
