During a June 4, 2011 incident on the 5700 block of South Emerald Avenue in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, a man identified as a Robert Morris College student, was involved in an altercation with several Chicago police officers.
The college student, whose name is Tristin Moore, was reportedly tackled by a Chicago police officer, hit with a baton, kicked in the head, and had an assault rifled aimed at him.
According to several eyewitnesses, Moore, who is said to be a victim of police brutality or excessive force, was attacked for no reason.
Officers at the scene appeared to be looking for someone who threw a bottle.
WARNING! THIS VIDEO CONTAINS ADULT LANGUAGE.
I think the video is pretty sketchy to actually see what happened BUT the kid was on the ground so why hit him with a baton is beyond me. On the other hand, look at the group of people surrounding those officers and with all the police being killed, I can understand them being nervous. There is no respect for police officers in todays society. Still, a bit excessive with the use of the baton. I didn't see anyone kick him though, just put their foot on the kid to keep him down. Who threw a bottle and for what?
ReplyDeletehow shocking towanda! no usage of your coined phrase "black ghetto thug." i guess there's hope for you afterall...
ReplyDeletesmh, but smiles anyway...LOL!
1. it wasn't much of a baton strike at all
ReplyDelete2. the suspect wasn't immediately complying, thus the strike
3. the video is incomplete; let's give the boys in blue the benefit of the doubt, given that they have to deal with wild savages constantly. to wit: look at the behavior of the crowd. would you and your friends *ever* behave like that? e.g., hollering, approaching the officers in a frustrated/hostile manner, talking back to authorities that could throw you in the slammer, giving lip to cops that are the one barrier between anarchy and civility, and otherwise obstructing justice? typical ghetto behavior- many of them could have been legally arrested.
and to the ghetto black thugs that are *always* screaming like uncouth, ill-mannered savages during police arrests: STFU already! don't you know you're just ingraining steretypes even further with your "ABM" and "ABW" attitudes?
Looks like if he'd complied the idiot wouldn't have gotten a blow from a baton. If he was behaving like the rest of the crowd he's lucky he didn't get worse. Some quality citizens there... wonder if any have new iPhones?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous@12:59,
ReplyDeleteThank you BUT I must correct you on something...I have never said "Black ghetto thug" just ghetto thug...I leave it up to "if the shoe fits.." after that.
He was "attacked for no reason"? Nah, there has to be more to it than that. Let's see what the facts are first.
ReplyDeleteThe baton hit looked more like a nudge to get him to turn over. I agree with the other commenters, comply with an officer and no force will be used.
ReplyDeleteClearly, yet another prime example of a victim innocently minding his own business, not doing a thing out of line, and being attacked by the cops for *no reason at all*. Or better yet, *it's got to be racial profiling*.
ReplyDeleteAhem. Cough, cough. Eye-roll.
I only saw white poleeces hitting the college student. That ain't right jo. He aint doing nuthin!
ReplyDeleteWhat about ghetto brutality on the citizens of Chicago. I say if the ghettos want to brutalize Chicagoans then let the cops have at the ghettos. Tit for Tat. And I did not see anything out of the ordinary. These people were acting like animals.
ReplyDelete" He aint doing nuthin!"...That's what they all say. Whoa is me, wah wah wah. Fix the problems in your community instead of letting ghetto thugs terrorize it! Quit acting like idiots and uncivilized people, quit hiding and running from these ghetto thugs and stand up and do something about it rather than crying about it! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
ReplyDeleteOff topic.
ReplyDeleteThis comment will not sit well with many people - people don't want to think of themselves as racist or prejudiced - its ok to prejudiced against pitbulls for some reason.
Integration was a mistake and here's why. Prior to the 60s, a poor white family still had a chance because they could live in relative safety and, more importantly, send their kids to a decent school. A decent school is defined thus - if the student is successful in the school, he will leave that school educated. Today, the schools of poor whites are neither safe nor decent - a child can graduate illiterate. Today, only the poor whites have to deal with their kids getting beat up for being white (try getting an education in that type of environment) but tomorrow it will be the middle class, and then even upper class whites will be forced to integrate.
The problem cannot be solved unless the correct disease is treated - its not poverty, its integration.
I support the cops in this. I also notice how disrespectful the crowd is towards the cops. Typical.
ReplyDelete"din do nuffinz"
ReplyDeleteI think I've heard that before...
I bet he's an "honor roll student".
