I think my logic is very good, I do program you know. And, so I am going to use programming for this easy explanation.

I am not a total idiot u know, so stop treat me like one!!!! :right: Also, Read the 16:44 post above, I've held myself to very high standard, and I did think twice and maybe crooks is more criminal than what appears to be told by Media... who knows.

So just like they used to beat your ass or had you on punishment when you were younger, they figure that a dose of jail time surely will get you sorted.

SuperJediMedia Posted July 12, 2002 Author Share Posted July 12, 2002 Originally posted by Wickedkitten You obviously didn't come preinstalled with a Logic patch.

I don't think so. Does patricide and matricide mean anything to you? > I STILL think if you are a good kid and all, but for ONCE you just done something of a smaller crime to your own parents. In that case, you parents arecruel> to send you to jail, instead of forgiven you. But that's just my opinion, and I double-checked twice and there is NOTHING wrong with that logic. It's not because I am dumb, no sense of morality, or whatever. It's just personality!!! However, if the kid isn't good kid at all, and has done more than once or twice crimes that his parents are ashamed enough of, then I guess it's probably not cruel for the mother to teach her son a lesson. Although, I still don't know what else has Crook done that counts as shameful crimes, in the past. The media hasn't revealed any of it, and I probably shouldn't bother to care (it's privacy stuff to Crooks) but as you said, I'm getting a bit too worked up about this. So, I guess I will come back later. I am going to take a breather! My goodness, this case is getting stranger and stranger every day:DD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purush Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 Stealing is a crime no matter from whom you steal. You cannot take away what rightfully belongs to another, no matter if it's your own mother, still it amounts to stealing punishable under law. Can you comprehend that in your twisted mind lady ?

Slouch Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 I can't believe I just read all 14 pages of this thread! I kept hoping it was going to get better, but it never did. I really respect the police. I think that if you do something stupid in your dealings with the police you should suffer the consequences (if there are any). Based on what I've read, heard, and seen, I'm disappointed that this situation is getting as much media coverage as it is. Should the cop have struck the boy? No. Was the boy treated too severely? Maybe, maybe not. Should the media concentrate on more important issues? Yes. Anyways, just my 2 cents. Flame me, don't fllame me, I don't care.

Tesseract Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 The thing is that the media only showed the part that the boy was slammed against the car and beat, not anything beforehand. Someone that did not know or see what happened before that occured would think this is police brutality. The fact is that no one really knows what happened for that to occur. I am just reinforcing that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blitzkrg Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 it's sad where the priorites of this world lie. here we are talking about a crime and it's a 14 page long thread.. i'll state my opinion very clearly so there is no mis-understanding THIS KID DESERVED WHAT HE GOT AND SO DID RODNEY KING. and if any of you think otherwise you deserve to be beaten as well. if you lunge at a cop, charge at him, touch him, strike him, or do anything other than what he orders you to do, then you deserve to be beaten down. PERIOD. we, that means me and you, pay those men to risk there lives every single day to protect your worthless ass's. and for any of you to sit here debate the rights and wrongs of policemen defending themselfs, is the same as saying there lifes are not worth spit to you. this case has no merrit, nor did the rodney king case. those men attempted to attack policemen.. they got what they deserve. no if's and's or buts. we give police the rights to act aggresivly and we give them the rights to use deadly force, and more importantly we give them the rights to protect themselfs however they deam neccassary.. there is a big difference between a cop pulling you over for speeding and beating you down with his night stick and some ******* attacking policemen and getting beat down for it.. there is a big difference and as far as i'm concerned, this topic this case, doesnt deserve this much attention. cure cancer, or brain tumors or something worth a damn. becuz this crap sure as hell is a waste of resources..

We all make typos and if someone where to monitor you 24/7 you'd make one too. BTW I agree with his point, if I had children I could never press charges agaisnt my own child. But you better believe they'd be disaplined. - edit - I cant believe that just something in the news would make people go against each other like this, this thread should be closed its nothing but flame. There are many aspects to the event that happened, people see it through different eyes, Doesnt matter what your race or occupation is. And you cant say what happened before the incident cause its not on video tape, so theres no argument there. What happened, Happened. it doesnt concern anyone but the people involved on a personal level so you people shouldnt be argueing like this.

IlliniPi Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 I'm not sure if I'm the only one whose brought this up...too lazy to see if anyone else did...while watching the video, I saw that one of the cops had a big cut of the side of his face. Maybe this could have been from a scuffle with the kid...this may show that the kid tried to fight which would give more reason to be so "violent". Really, slamming the kids head on the trunk was just a result of anger. When the cop punched the kid, he went too far....just my thoughts. :ninja: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW - when i spoke of "you" i was generalizing.. my comments are directed twords people in general not any one person specifically..so nobody get your panties in a bunch and i know there are some "sensitive" people here.. Violence never solved anything. In fact it has been shown that corporal punishment doesn't work in the long run. That in places which condone it also have many cases of abuse of the elderly as well in that the children are getting their revenge on their parents later for the abuse they received as children. And no, these people in the video didn't deserve to be beaten as they were. Police have to be held to a higher standard because they are the ones who are suppose to be enforcing our laws for us. Letting the police act in the manner, which was shown in the video, makes them no different than the KGB and other such thugs of tyranny. You are suppose to be fighting a war against such things. It is this sort of "justice" which those who bombed the WTC also condone and practice. With your support of this brutality also means that you are no different as well and a traitor to peace and the freedom you so enjoy. The Constitution and Bill of Rights are great...

threetonesun Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 hmm..well, I read most of this thread, and was just wondering. If this cop had to go in for a criminal trial (hopefully not...I personally think it would be a little extreme under these circumstances, and I say that from what I know now...regardles of what happened before the video we see)...how the jury would go. I suppose it would depend on its make up...but considering some of the views thrown around here, it would make for an interesting case. Here's how I would break it down. 1) accounts of racism from someone (preferably two people) other than the man and his son... 2)Proof from the other officers (who, unlike in the Rodney King beating, appear to have done very little here, and would make them more credible witnesses) that the officer in question was out of hand. 3)Testimony from a wide section of bystanders about what happened (I seem to remeber the original article stating that this drew quite a crowd). Once these come out, you can draw an opinion. Until then...just take it at face value. This probably means you a) hate violence and what happened here...or b) think a little beat-down can be good sometimes. Considering this country has a personal affection for wrestling and action movies...I'm suprised more people even question a cop punching a man in handcuffs. Or maybe everyone just expects that the officer will get gunned down by the Russian mafia next week ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimeRider Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 From the Minnesota Statutes: 609.23 Mistreatment of persons confined. Whoever, being in charge of or employed in any institution, whether public or private, intentionally abuses or ill-treats any person confined therein who is mentally or physically disabled or who is involuntarily confined therein by order of court or other duly constituted authority may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than one year or to payment of a fine of not more than $3,000, or both. I would suspect that every State has a Statute that says substantially what this one does. If we are to forge that link in the chain that allows for any person or entity to effect retribution without due process, we begin the process that changes the nature of our rights. If we are to stand before the world and proclaim ourselves to be a just society, then we must wear the mantle of our Constitution in that all men are created equal and entitled to certain rights as citizens . . . due process is among those rights. Where does it stop? If it's OK to punch a handcuffed suspect, is it OK to mace him? How bout using a stick? Or should the Police just take him to a secluded beach and hold him under until the bubbles stop . . . If we do not hold our Peace Officers to a higher standard of conduct, then we shall never enjoy a higher standard of service. These men took an oath. An oath to uphold the law without passion or prejudice. I don't care if that young boy just shot a little old lady, drumhead trials are inappropriate and street justoce has no place in a country where the Government and the people claim to be civilized. If what was on this video is representative of what America wants from it's law enforcement professionals that perhaps we should take "Under God" out of the pledge . . .

Would you quit this crap? GOD!!! You have NO idea how pointless your personal attacks on me means to me! It don't mean crap, you think I am going to listen to you? Loss sleep over it? LMAO, all it does is annoying me, and nothing more. Most other people here HAS been respectful thruout, and I certainly appreciated these people, it helps me understand why people don't think this is a racism related case. But, you, since all you do is disrespecting me from the very start (and I didn't dis you at all), cause me to never cared about what you say!!! I don't think you deserve a return from respect from me, either! And, why you have to be rude to Genenis just because the guy defended me?
