The Writer Does A Good Job Of Describing Both Sides Of The Story Which Is Something That I Really Liked From The Article.
The Article First Caught My Eye Because I Thought Immediately Of Rodney King And His Police Beating, As Well As It Being Caught On Tape.
What Person Wouldn't? Anytime There Is An Issue Involving A Police Beating With A Black Man...You Automatically Think, "Rodney King".
It Speaks Of A Black Man Who Was Beaten With A Baton And Had A, "broken right hand and bruises and cuts from head to toe,..." And Was Caught On Cell Phones By Two Civilians.
This Man Was Taken To The Hospital For Recovery After The Beating Which Was On A Monday (10/19).
On Friday (10/23), While Recovering In The Hospital, Sheriff's Deputies Themselves Went Into The Man's Room And Revealed He Was Released From Custody.
They Gave Some Reason For Why He Was Released, But I Think They Only Released Him Because They Felt The Man May Have Had A Case Against Them And The Cops Could Have Gotten Into Trouble Yet Again.
If You Read The Article, The Black Man Was Booked On, "suspicion of resisting arrest, transportation of cocaine and possession of cocaine."
That Sounds To Me A Good Enough Reason To Keep This Man Behind Bars. But What I Take From Their Lame Reasoning Is That The Cops Obviosly Feel They May Have Been In The Wrong And Did Not Act And React As They Should Have.
If You Ask Me...Something Sounds Fishy For Letting This Man (Who Should Be Behind Bars) Be Free After The Charges He Was Booked For.
I Guess We'll See What Becomes Of This "Rodney King-Like" Story In The Near Future.
Hmmm, funny how quick that man's charges were dropped. Just because sherriff's think they are doing the right thing, they actually aren't. That man has to suffer while they can go and beat on another suspect. And they wonder why so many people hate them.
