DISQUS

Let's see, flick off a cop and your surprised at the reaction. It's just like that idiot family that wants to sue because the guy tried to rob an apt and he ended up dying. If these idiots would just act like decent human beings and responsible citizens. But no, it's the police's fault I broke the law and trouble finds me not the other way around...

“Hood” News.... in the name alone proves there is a problem. Let’s face facts... 98% of society believe the cops actions are correct. The rest are criminals, or family of criminals, and think that society is going to rally around them in the great police brutality cause... which is not going to happen in this matter. People want a safe society and expect people to be arrested, force to be used on those who fight with cops, and want to sleep well knowing that someone is out there to protect them if the Sh(A)t hits the fan. It is ignorant to report (Hood News) that someone who is screaming at the top of their lungs cannot breathe... that is just wrong… but an ignorant reporter cannot make the correlation that someone who is screaming can breathe. It is important to note that Hood News is protected speech and no matter if you agree with their stance, which I do not, does not mean they do not have the right to speak their mind. My opinion, good job LBPD. Hood News, free speech.

I think what it is that everyone wants the fast buck and the fame that goes with handing out the next fake Rodney King video. You have the fact that if the cops are there well you did something to attract there attention and deserve what happens to you. The first thing I was taught when we where young is to treat authority with respect. I have been stopped and asked questions many times when I was younger and always when they where treated with respect had no problem when you get a little mouthy is when there was problems. Everyone wants to claim that they where treated unfairly and you are the problem. If a cops tells you to get out and lay down on the ground do it don't question it. I think that is the problem as they say "back in the day" you would not see anyone really questioning the cops because you could get cracked in the head and it was not a big deal. Now because of video everyone is a little tougher. I also know that there is always a bad apple or two out there but I would bet that if everyone did what they where told and not run there mouth that everything would be different.

What compels a person to give a police officer the bird? Did anyone provoke that? She initiated a response. If she was uncooperative, the police were more than justified. FYI, if anyone believes this was a racial incident, perhaps this link will show you what will most likely happen when an individual, regardless of ethnicity, decided to pull the same foolish stunt: http://youtube.com/watch?v=-wWeGlfF9mA

Will she not be able to show up now for school or work? Is she going to have to miss taking her children to school in the morning or maybe she won't be able to make her husband breakfast and send him off to work? Why do these good people always get picked on by the police. It seems like they have been picked for years now, as the have "records" of the police being mean to them. We need to help these people relocate to a nicer city perhaps, where the police will just leave them be so than can work and pay their taxes like I'm sure they want to.

"Will she not be able to show up now for school or work?" - Juan Pardell

Mr. Pardell, respectfully, you must be the most naive man I've ever heard of. Not even five years ago, before I became a police officer, would I have watched a video like that, made some reasonable decisions about the people involved, and then asked a series of laughable questions like that. My goodness, Sir. Wake up.

She doesn't have a steady job, she doesn't have a husband (she is gay - read the article), and I can guarantee you that she doesn't give a hoot about her child's education. She does not respect the law, nor does she wish to conform to what we (the 98 percentile of good people) would consider a contributing member of society. All that I can deduce from her wanton disrespect to uniformed authority, propensity to scream out and throw a tantrum when addressed by said authority, and from listening to and watching her family members retort against the department (while wearing Marijuana earrings nonetheless) for doing its job, and preserving the peace.

Tell me, did anything else about the defendant's behavior, or that of her peers during this incident, do anything to suggest that I am wrong in my assessment? I believe not.

LBPD are un-educated bunch of former high school bullies who miss being on the football field.
Why are the older ones so cool? because they know they can't save the world. And a veteran cop would have walked away from the finger.

Batts has to go

Jonathan...........FYI, I didn't supply the quote which you made reference to with my name. The video I supplied showcases what can happen to anyone who foolishly decides to provoke a law enforcement officer.
