Fef, this sounds like you're almost dancing on this man's grave. It sounds like you support police brutality.

Before you decide on how to take someone's opinion try discerning logically what he's saying rather than just react according to what it seems to you according your emotional predispositions.

Before you act like a condescending pr!ck, read what is written and respond to it. I did respond logically to what you said in this thread--the only thread I have been interacting with you in. How was that supposed to be taken? You can't respond, because you come off as a bad person in it. Instead, you try to sound like your more intelligent and discerning, when you are merely full of it.

YOU reacted emotionally, honey. You can keep trying to turn the tables, though. It's kind of funny. But it's not working on me.

I was in LA in 92 during the riots. I agree with the anger.. .However beating the truck driver was totally uncalled for. and buring their own neighborhood was stupid. they should have converged on the police department and courthouse then started the thrashing.

Just like the beating of Kelly Thomas. I which I was there with my open carry... that man did not deserve the death he got.

and as i said everyone of those people who took part in the beating and looting of businesses should be arrested and prosecuted and in the case of what happened to Mr Dennings they were arrested and prosecuted. i do not condone what was done, by no means, but i can understand the frustration. You get so tired of being ignored, your issues ignored and so tired of the two tier justice system you will lash out. now its up to those who do lash out to see that the anger pint up is positively released.

Let's take a look at that beating. I think your memory needs refreshing Fef.

My bad, he wasn't handcuffed. They kept clubbing & kicking him, even when he WASN'T moving. FEF, THAT WAS POLICE BRUTALITY & THE PEOPLE ON THAT JURY GAVE THEM THUGS IN BLUE A FREE PASS!

I have seen too much in my lifetime. My youngest son was beaten horrifically 4 years ago for the "crime" of asking a simple question. I was threatened with arrest for asking the officer who beat him unconscious "Why are you beating my child?" My son was 17 yo when this happened.

but this pertains to Rodney King - how exactly?
are you saying you blame the victim for the riots that followed the acquittals of the criminals who beat him senseless? is that your contention?
if so, I sincerely hope you are living the life of a saint because, if you are not Mother Theresa, you are in for a rough ride indeed.

and then there's the matter of "Judge not."
be very, very careful.
