The BDSM community should get involved in the protests. If hordes of people running into rubber bullets shouting "HARDER, DADDY!" doesn't unnerve the cops, nothing will.*

I have seen people get very stupid on drugs.
While that gives noone license to kill him - it may well be what got him manhandled.
Dumb, drugged and stupid tells cop to go fuck himself - expect cop to get physical.
That's reality.
It is. And you are assuming a lot. The man was begging for air, begging to his mother. He knew exactly what was happening.
I don't know the full story and have not seen the evidence - so I don't know.
You claim to know all about it - and you think I am assuming a lot?
Wow.

You could know at least eight minutes of it. Willful ignorance isn't actually a black hole.
Your line remains permissive to non-existent while your bar for evidence or knowledge conveniently restrictive and dismissive. Police murdering people isn't as bad as the pattern of comments you've consistently displayed in any case of police brutality ever addressed on these boards. Without your excuses and assent, it would not be possible for such a small contingent of armed belligerents to maintain social control and legal privilege in this country - a fact that burning police stations and fleeing officers attests to handily.
People are marching to protest police brutality, sure, but the larger problem that they're marching against, a problem that must be addressed before there is ever any chance of addressing the brutality itself, are attitudes and opinions such as yours. Unfortunately...no one but you can truly do anything about your own opinions and attitudes.
Perhaps you should direct some of that critical light you apply to the victims of police brutality to the police, or even yourself. Perhaps your penchant for not knowing and reserving judgement should be applied to the victims of police brutality, rather than the perpetrators.

Now now, let's not rush to judgement on concentration camps. Besides, those people are criminals, that's just reality.

I guess we don't need courts when we have the all-knowing herd of popular opinion....

Funny how the same people who say "I don't see color" don't also say "I don't see nationality"
"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.

We don't need courts at all if their function is to serve as a cog in an injustice system.
The same applies to the police. Personally, I choose to believe that you're a victim of framing - the alternative is icky. You see, protesters incensed by this and innumerable other events are not against law and order, they're protesting and rioting because they have been denied law and order. They're for it, and the people who suppress them are against it.
They want courts and cops. Specifically, they want functioning courts and cops who adhere to the rule of law and the demand for equal consideration under it, but what they have are kangaroo courts and riot control intentionally designed to deprive them of both, and...not for nothing, deprive them of their very lives as well.
