Why are the Cops always beating first and stopping to ask questions later?
Folks,
Why are the police always so willing to beat the crap out of citizens? I just don't get it! The "MAN or 5-0" really has a weird definition of "protecting and serving."

Then the police have the nerve to justify their bizarre actions!

Funny you mentioned that soror. I don't know if you all heard but yesterday the story of a 64 year old New Orleans resident, African American of course, who was severly beaten by NO Police officers was released. The officers were "suspended" and of course they're saying "race was not an issue." I won't comment on that but research the story and make your own decision. Whatever the case police brutality in this country is a serious problem, an everyday reality for African American males. No one can say all officers are corrupt, I know quite a few who aren't but if there is even 1% THATS A PROBLEM. A problem that many of us choose to ignore while other "more important" events take place like Paris Hilton's latest sex tape.

I should take a poll right now and ask if you have ever felt unfairly treated by police and you know that it was race-related.
Have I got personal stories to tell!

Folks,
I'm really concerned by all of the craziness and to make matters worse. . . .This idiot judge in the greater Washington (DC) area refused to honor a restraining order for this 30 year young African American woman and now she is in the hospital suffering as a burn victim. Her husband went to her job and set her on fire. She might not make it because 50 percent of her body was burned. The judge wouldn't even hear her petition for this order. The media has been playing parts of the court appearance on the evening news. Can someone please provide an answer for this avoidable madness?

Why do we even have laws when the folks in charge (the criminal justice system) won't even implement or enforce them?
