Nice to see a charge at last though, even if it was for Health & Safety :hehe:

based rather than purely colour imo..its just often easier for them to assume with a black chap..with whites thery have to work out if they are a bit simple, alcoholic, homeless etc before they give them a real beating, shooting or killing imo

And, at least over here, they have a horrible job so they don't make any apologies for it. This is speaking as a person who got out of his car when pulled over for speeding and had a gun pulled on him and received a face plant onto the bonnet (hood over here) for my troubles as he assumed I was going to either plead, run, or fight. None of which he was going to tolerate, or even discuss.

Not Wesley, or even the abominable Westly, actually Westerly.

So yelling stop or crying in pain, while struggling, is ignored. They just deal with the struggling. The rest is white noise to them, as so many people are sly in the U.S. they just handle everyone with the assumption you're an arsehole of the highest order, or high off your tits.

So, while that mentally ill drunk guy is definitely sad, and what happened is definitely not okay, it's a symptom of society over here, not just a symptom of police brutality. You can see he continues to struggle as two big cops can't get him face down which is what they need to do procedurally. And they see it as defiance and meet it full on with an iron fist.

Those you've contributed to this thread, I mean, of course. The other ones are complete bull**** obviously :-)
