No one is ever going to be happy with nationality equality rights. (And now that there was a 400 black guy beaten to death it's only going to bring more uprise. Another Rodney Kind episode.--nothing to do with the politicial postings going on)

while i don't pretend to know all the facts about that mans death in cincinatti, i have heard reports that he was using concaine and pcp hours before his death. the drug use, coupled with his obesity led to cardiac arrest during his fight with police. certainly it is not a good situation, but it is not as if the police killed him by beating or shooting him.

the weird thing is that he also had an enlarged herat, but they ruled it a homicide. like the press release from the coroners office was really contradictory.

I'm not sure why, but I'm not really angry with the police for once. The cops really cant be prepared for everything, and it doesnt seem like they used more force than required, after all, the PCP and Cocaine use doesnt exactly make people calm and easy to control.

Whether the police go to jail or not, there's going to be some rioting one way or the other.

maybe, but there isnt' anywhere near the uproar or outrage as there were with other cases. There have been a fair amount of police brutality cases in the last 5 year, the most notable in NYC where they raped a dude in custody with a plunger and that didn't cause a riot.
