Funny I never heard anything about this until today. Looks like the newsmedia didn't want to report it.

Yes there have been tensions between the black community and police but in no way, shape or form are these justified racially motivated attacks justified.

The racist idiots who did this need to be slapped down hard. More likely they will be slapped on the wrist as usual.

Last year the same crap {racially motivated attacks} happened in Cincinnati.

Sad thing is stuff like this harms race relations and convinces people other groups can't be trusted.

It's a bunch of crap that goes on down there. Disapointing! No reason for it either. Something needs to be done, but just as the article states, WHAT?

[capybara]

the decline of the inner city and the growth of the suburbs since WW2 is a historical fact. make one guess as to ONE of its causes. (ps i live in a big city
of over 1 million people)

This crap is disgusting.

Not just the part about the attacks, but the stealth coverage the media is giving this.

Here in Detroit the news didn't make the cover of any of the papers. And if the TV was better, they didn't cover it in the 'Full story at 6' ads they put on all day.

Well if it was 300 white people doing the same thing it would have been on every local station and national news at 6 and 11 and had special report's to boot. Alway's same ole same ole.

Oh Yes, and the whites would have been charged with "Hate Crime' extra penaltys.
not racist, just fact.

I guess its a case of you reap what you sow. If I recall, the attack last year (cops gunning down a black man for refusing to pay a traffic ticket) resulted in the officer in question being given a "slap on the wrist."

How is commiting crimes and attacking innocent people on the basis of race justified? Its not. The people who were attacked were not police officers. If Asians or Hispanics were attacked would that be cases of reaping what is sown also?

There are much better and peaceful ways to show concern and displeasure over what happened. There always will be those bad apples who engage in violence and try to justify their criminal conduct. They need to be condemned for the thugs they are.

What a moronic statement. I agree with SBP you can't attack innocent people for what the police may have done.


And you are telling me that this person who was gunned down for not paying a ticked did nothing what so ever. Like perhaps running from the police, attempting to run down the arresting officer, attacking the police. They just looked at him pulled him over and shot him dead while he was producing his license and registration. Wow if that is true those cops should have been put away for life.

If the Kindly gentleman that would not pay for his tickets did attack, run, or other it is up to the police who were trying to take him down to decide whether they are going to go home to their children.

Simply put there are too many tough guys that dont realize that the cop plans on going home that night. If they feel threatened they are going to do everything in their power to do so. It also seems that the Afro-American community belives that cops are brutal. So why the hell would you mouth off at a so called racist with a gun. You hold your tongue and live to talk to your layer.

I was arrested by a psyco cop once and you know what I shut up assumed the position got taken downtown. got bailed out and then went to court, Finally I was cleared of any wrong doing.


How foolish of me!!! I should have mouth off and tried to hit him or maybe when he came to my window I should have reached under the seat and refused to freeze when he noticed. Yea that would have been a good Idea. After all I was innocent of the charges so I had a right to run him over. Right???

Oh well if you are still reading give me a pro site and a con site and I will try to decide if this was justified or not. Bear in mind if the cop feels threatened I give them the right to live. If you were a cop and felt threatened would you just let things happen or do you want to see your family and kids again?
