The only reason this thing even makes the news is because it is a White cop, using force (which I think is appropriate) on a black criminal. He struggled with them, and refused to do as they said, therefore they restrained him and put him on the ground.
Now, although I am in Australia, I am studying at Uni to be a police officer. From my work experience last semester, I can say this happens all the fucking time! If you are breaking the law, and struggle with police officers, what the fuck do you expect? To get a kiss on the check?
Fuck the negroid! If this was a white kid, you would not even hear about it! Don't believe me? Than tell me...did this make it to your national news... http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/ar...TICLE_ID=33108 ? Imagine if it was 'Beat a Black Kid Day'!!

Let me give you an example of how cops can be total pricks, and how their claim of "resisting arrest" can be total bullshit.
About 6 or 7 years back, a friend of mine (who is white, just in case that matters to you) and myself went out to the bars. We were loaded, and decided to walk home. He lived about two blocks from me. When we got to my house, we hung outside for a few minutes talking before parting ways. He started walking around back to go home, and I went in the house.
The next morning, I hear my friend got arrested and was in jail. My neighbor on the side of me, who's always up all hours of the night, said she saw everything that happened. When th cops pulled up in front of my house, they ran around back, and came out again with my friend. She could hear him saying to them that this was his friend's house, but they were telling him to shut up and asking where the other guy was. I guess my friend got frustrated that they weren't listening to him, so she said he started to shout that this was indeed his friend's house. It was at that point that they one cop took him down to the ground with a choke hold. My friend instictively tried to resist the choke hold, but the other cop restrained him also, and after giving him a few punches to the kidneys, they cuffed him and took him in for resisting arrest.
Turns out, I found out that one of my other neighbors called the cops because they thought we were fuckin prowlers when we were standing outside talking. My friend went around back to take a quick piss before walking home when the cops showed up. They could have easily investigated his claim that it was his friend's house, and he was just on his way home, but they didnt. When he got upset, they used excessive force on him. When he resisted INSTINCTIVELY because of the choke hold, they got him on resisting.
Total bullshit. I showed up at the hearing thinking they were going to try to get him on the prowling as well, but they didn't even have that as a charge. Only the resisting arrest. We attempted to get our neighbor there so she could testify on his behalf, but she was old, and scared to say anything. So he had to plead "No contest". Total and complete bullshit.
They had no reason to arrest him to begin with. Yet he was resisting arrest? Some cops are just a bunch of ignorant, power-drunk high school fuck-ups frustrated with their small dicks.
