Arizona police violently beat unarmed man
The Mesa Police Department in Arizona voluntarily released surveillance video footage showing a group of officers brutally beating an unarmed man.
The video shows several police officers kneeing and punching Robert Johnson.

I wonder if the same thing would have happened if the man had been white?

Yesterday, the Mesa PD released body cam footage which showed the police first approaching him on the other side of the elevator and searching him for weapons. They they ordered him to sit on the floor, and then they started beating the shit out of him.
I keep wondering what their "reasonable cause" might have been? Texting While Black? Just seems like an out of control passel of pigs, to me. Grease up your assholes, Mesa taxpayers. You are about to get screwed because of the actions of your fucking cops.

Oh and Nevermind that the officers involved are on fucking paid leave while the situation gets investigated.

Sadly, in the US, "reasonable cause" has come to mean "he's a minority."

I wonder if they'll accept that excuse when they're the minority and it happens to them?

I'm tempted to side with the cops on this one. I mean, be fair - this man was openly and flagrantly walking around while being black. He should know better.

The scariest guy in the clip is probably the big bald black guy who's doing all the face punching and elbowing.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
