News "That's when I expected to be shot" - GoFuckYourself.com

DENVER -- The parents of Michael Brown told CBS News' Mark Strassmann they'd had a conversation with their son about how to deal with police. They say they told him to respect and obey police officers.

Many parents of black children have had the same talk. But it is not one that Alex Landau's parents thought they needed to have with him.

Landau vividly recalls the night five years ago when a traffic stop on a Denver street ended with an officer's gun at his head.

"I could see the metal. I could see the officer's hand gripping the back strap. And that's when I expected to be shot," said Landau, adding it was "really emotional" to return to the scene of the incident.

Police found marijuana on his passenger, who is white. They began searching the car. Landau said when he asked if they had a warrant, three white officers - one of whom was female - started beating him.

When asked if he did something to threaten the police officers, he responded, "No, actually I was pinned to a position where I couldn't even move. ... I hear an officer shout, 'He's reaching for her gun. He's reaching for her gun.' All I could do was say, 'No, I'm not. I'm not reaching for anything.'"

He expected to die that night.

The beating required 45 stitches, left him with a concussion and a traumatic brain injury.

Landau said the only thing worse than the beating was hearing the screams of his mother, Patsy Hathaway, when she saw him.

"I still cry. I still get ... angry outta nowhere," says Hathaway. "People don't understand: a beating like this traumatizes a family for years.

'None of the officers were prosecuted or disciplined in the Landau case. However, Landau did receive $800,000 from the city of Denver. Two of the officers were later fired for lying about other beatings. '

wow

If I posted as many racially charged stories as BM I would get banned for being racist.

Just Saying..........

Consider his usernames initials, BM, that is pretty much what he posts.

I guess the admins still have not figured out where to find the "Tachy goes to Hollywood" settings.

Does the term "Sig Whore" mean anything?

What a limp wristed faggy thing to say. Why, because your black and hard? ROFL.

I would love to see you rep that bullshit persona. (I FIXED THIS FOR YOU!) Christ you need to grow the fuck up. Whatever would you do if you weren't black?

Imagine me going on about being white all fucking day.. as you know, I live in a black shithole town.. and have PLENTY of racist encounters day in and day out.

Part of the reason people rip you all the time. Not because your black.. but because you only pretend to be real grown up human beings.
