INGLEWOOD, CALIF. POLICE ABUSE?
#757498 - 07/18/02 07:29 PM (21 years, 4 months ago) |

A videotape captured the arrest of 16-year-old Donovan Jackson. The tape showed a police officer throwing the teen onto the hood of a police car and then punching him in the face. (Stringer Video) ABC NEWS LINK here. I think that there might be a link with whats going on in California and whats happening here at The Shroomery. I have been a member of this site for a long time and NEVER can I recall seing racial tensions and freedom of speech issues so bad at The Shroomery. I cant help but think that the videotape of a white police officer in Inglewood California (near LA) slaming the head of a cuffed black 16 year old into a cop car has reignited the race tensions not seen since the Rodney King riots.... Now after I have the time to catch up on recent posts here I am reminded of a war-zone. Shit it?s like a cyber-riot on here today. The Shroomery didnt used to be like this... To me it has gotten a little more disrespectfull, to say the least. I fail to uderstand the need to attack other?s race as I do other?s views off what should be baned. In short I wish the best for everyone here and pray (if I can use such a non pc term as "pray") for the best for all members despite race,religion or sexual preference.... (*sigh*)

Cops that abuse people almost always get away with it. When cops pick on people like that 16 year old punk they get away with it because he's just a little kid resisting arrest and no one cares unless it's caught on tape. If that kid was white do you think there would be such media outrage? But if the cops want to start trouble with a kid that happens to be a 'nigger' than it's racist because everyone knows cops never ever beat up anyone other than 'niggers'. Yeah, cops beat me up before. I was dragged out of my house with a shotgun pointed at my chest in febuary of this year. Where's the outrage there? No one cares but me. So oh well. If I was black I'de have been a news story. Ha.

Yes I do... It would not matter what color the boy was, the tape shows what appears to be needless violence.

That's what cops do. It's their job. They screw people for a living. They're on power trips and they get off on this shit. We live in a police state.

if they were white it would only make this big of a wave if it was caught on tape.as to you being drug out of your house at gunpoint were you being raided? if so they generally treat everybody they raid like that and all they would have to say if someone presented some sort of taape in court was that you were a threat and were being extremely hostile while still in the house.now if someone saw them hit you with the butt of the gun while you were in cufs there would be an outrage that is if you were able to get it on tape.

If the child in question were white the cop never would have punched him. When is the last time that you heard of a black cop being charged with hitting a HANDCUFFED white kid? There is no excuse to ever hit a handcuffed person, be that person, a child, teen, or a big mean white son of a bitch. Now, if the need arises, before he is handcuffed, I say the cops need to do what is neccesary. Even I have been arrested, minor, but arrested none the less. I wasn't foolish enough to run or bad mouth the cops, even though they were arresting the wrong person. I was polite, laid down, in my best suit even, and laced my hands behind my head; no punching or kicking neccesary.
We do live in a police state, bear that in mind if one should be confronted with the big guns of the police, save your outrage for the trial or judge; the cops don't want to hear it and couldn't care less.

In reply to:

If they are not resisting arrest and are handcuffed I agree. How about if they are biting and or kicking. There are some people that can do major damage even while handcuffed. As the kid in the tape did not appear to be resisting, the cop was way out of line and should be jailed.

This kid will get lots of money from the department and the cop will be charged and convicted with assault but will not do any jail time, probation or have to pay restitution because of his "years of service" to the comunity. Charges against the kid and his father will be droped and Cockgrin will be fameous once again.
Thats my prediction.
Durring the rodney king riots I wasnt in California so I didnt know much about it, then they had the 10 year aniversary a little while ago and their were all kids of news stories on it.. The Koreans own MOST of the business in those areas and tensions between them and blacks were heated because of some store owners shooting some black kids and getting away with it. When the riots broke out the Koreans formed their own military style police force and they used a Korean radio station to dispatch car loads of kids with Mak 10's and sawed off shot guns to stores being luted. They set up sand and rice bags around entrances to larger electronics and grocery stores and had rotateing shifts of guys armed to the teeth bunkered down to protect the place.
Theirs lots of great footage of cars full of them jumping out at stores being luted, spraying bullets into the air and black people running away. They also set up hardwhere crews and together could clear a business of luters and have the entire place boarded up with two armed guards inside in less than 20 minutes.
It was some really cool shit. You can still see the destruction of the riots today.

At least in this case the cop being acused wasnt suspended WITH pay (as was the case with the R King cops)... I read that the guy that pounded that kid's head in was supsended with OUT pay... pending an investgation.
My concern is what might happen if a jury finds the cop inocent.

I can't believe yall act like all cops are these horrible racist assholes. Some are, sure, but they aren't around here at least. Rodney King, in my opinion, deserved it, somewhat. He was fucked out of mind and speeding down a highway, easily could've killed himself and others. He attacked police officers, and you only get to see the part with the cops beating the hell out of him. If you were a cop and had to deal with the scum they have to deal with, like violent gangbangers, rapists, I guarantee you you'd understand where those cops were coming from. They went overboard, but then so did Rodney King, why isn't anyone bitching about him speeding and endangering the lives of others? Why? Cuz he's black and it isn't politically correct to do so. The riots were an excuse to loot stores and break shit and get those Korean shopowners back. None of em really cared about King. Its all so very stupid. Riots are stupid. Racism is stupid, and so are people that blame all cops for being racist. Criminals like that *shouldn't* be treated nice. Like this 16 year old kid, you don't know what he did before the clip they're showing over and over on the news. But you shouldn't beat someone cuffed, that doesn't excuse that.
I still think its sad that Mumia fuck kills a white cop for NO REASON other than the fact he pulled his brother over for driving down the wrong side of the road with no headlights on. And now everyone's screaming "free Mumia!" WHY do they want people like that on the streets?
All my black friends agree with me on this, btw. Stereotyping cops is JUST as bad as stereotyping any other group.

>>>At least in this case the cop being acused wasnt suspended WITH pay (as was the case with the R King cops)... I read that the guy that pounded that kid's head in was supsended with OUT pay... pending an investgation.<<<
theyre on administrative leave, WITH PAY... Even if the courts find them guilty the police union will still hold their jobs for them, if they have to serve no time then they will be back on patroll immediatly after sentanceing, maybe not in the same area but in the same union I guarantee..
GOD BLESS UNION. Their union put up the money for their legel defence and their bail... GOD BLESS UNION.
>>>Rodney King, in my opinion, deserved it<<< Me King did NOT deserve to be hit by 4 officers with night sticks more than 180 times in less than 60 seconds.
>>>only get to see the part with the cops beating the hell out of him.<<< So you agree, they beat the hell out of him... Thats NOT what they are their for.
>>>The riots were an excuse to loot stores and break shit and get those Korean shopowners back<<< Thats true.. Riots are just a bad day and any excuese away in the hood of LA.. Thats how bad things are their.

My understanding is that the police UNION is paying them, but that the City is not.... As I recall the cops involved with R. King were stilled paid by the city while they were "suspended"... there is a diference.
I might me mistaken on the exact facts involving how the suspended cops were paid however.

Nope.. they are on administrative leave...
Remember, the department still has no proof that they did anything wrong... If they suspended them without pay then the Union would be all over the cities ass and they would sue the city...
Administrative leave = vacation with pay. If they are found guilty then the city can ask for back pay, but then the Union will chalk up all that time off with pay to sick days, vacation time, government "family days" (california thing) and personal health days (me days for cops).
The cops will get their jobs back and keep all that pay without ANY laps in benefits or repremand for unnecissary time off.

If the child in question were white the cop never would have punched him. When is the last time that you heard of a black cop being charged with hitting a HANDCUFFED white kid?
You have not heard of a white kid being beaten by the police because the news media is infected by political correctness. If an unarmed white person is shot by cops, the news media will not report on it. If an unarmed black person is shot by cops, the news media will put it on the front page for a month.
There is no excuse to ever hit a handcuffed person, be that person, a child, teen, or a big mean white son of a bitch. Now, if the need arises, before he is handcuffed, I say the cops need to do what is neccesary. Even I have been arrested, minor, but arrested none the less. I wasn't foolish enough to run or bad mouth the cops, even though they were arresting the wrong person. I was polite, laid down, in my best suit even, and laced my hands behind my head; no punching or kicking neccesary.
Very good. You realize that when you cooperate with the cops, they will not rough you up. I'm sorry, but this 16 year old kid deserved what he got. He is the one who initiated the attack with the police officers. In my opinion, they should have kicked the shit out of him instead of only punching him and throwing him in the car.
Remember Rodney King? All you saw over and over again was that tape showing police officers beating him up. That tape didn't show the previous ten minutes when Rodney King(a convicted felon by the way) was speeding down the road at 120 miles per hour while he was running from the cops(oh and by the way he was high on PCP and God knows what else). He finally stopped the car and lunged at the officers who tried to arrest him. Rodney King got his ass kicked and he deserved every fucking kick and baton whip that he got. There are people in this world who have no respect for anybody else's bodies or property. The only way to stop these people from inflicting mayhem, mischief, and misery is to use brute force to subdue them.

Hi,
I thought I would add this in. Cops have been getting a lot of shit during the past ten years or so. Everyone screams that they are racist and they abuse their power, etc..etc.
Have you heard of any kind words directed towards these men and women who risk their lives in order to keep our society safe? All you hear is negativity. Granted some cops are assholes (I've met some in my day), but not all of them are.
Some cops are bad, does that make all cops bad? Some black people are bad, does that make all black people bad? Some white people are bad, does that make all white people bad? Judge people because of their individual actions, and not because of the actions of other people who are in their community.
When some scumbag gets beaten up by a cop, there is an uproar (No Justice No Peace !! blah blah). But, when a cop gets hit by a scumbag, there is no uproar. We are apologists for the perpetrators of crimes, yet we criticize those that keep us safe. Liberalism run amok. Political Correctness run amok. Stupidity run amok. Welcome to America.

I agree to some point. We ask of the police to do that witch we cannot or will not do ourselves. We also have to give them some power over our lives in this manner and it is to this that we demand that they exercise significant control.
When engaged in their work, the police, have a tremendous responsibility, to protect and if neccesary to arrest. It is with the responsibility that we (citizens) demand extreme caution and accountability. The police are forever under a microscope; and they should be. What a SUSPECT does is NOT relevant to the treatment of said suspect at the hands of the police. You and others, fail to remeber that, IN THIS COUNTRY, one is assumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law by a jury of our peers. So, until the suspect has gone to court, the police should exercise ONLY that force neccesary to arrest the individual; this does include defending their lives with deadly force if neccesary of course.

>>>When some scumbag gets beaten up by a cop,<<<
This kid isnt a skum bag... His father was putting gas into his car when cops pulled behind him. He had recently expired tags so they got out to ask him about it. His son comes out of the store eating a bag of chips, while hes walking up to the car an officer tells him to step back and put the chips down on the ground. He kept walking closer to the car, still eating his chips and had done NOTHING wrong. The cops snaped because he didnt jump right away and obey orders so they tackled him, threw his face into the pavement and put a knee to the back of his neck with all their weight, they twisted his arms around and put the cuffs on him. He then got slamed into the car, punched in the face and choked for a few seconds.
This kid is mentaly slow and doesnt comprehend orders like me and you, he did NOTHING wrong but the officers decided that doing all that to him was "necissary".
Years ago something similar happened to me. Their I am walking by myself to the store and I guess someone called the cops about someone in their back yard. Cops pull up on the sidewalk up in front of me and ask me what Im doing, where I live they searched me and want to see my ID but its at home because Im just walking one block to the store. I kept asking whats was going on and they told me nothing, I never lied to them and never made any threttening moves and they knew I didnt have a weapon because they already searched me. Then one of them decided that hes going to put me in cufs untill they can ID me, for their safety of corse.... They didnt tell me they were going to cuff me, the still havnt tole me whats going on when one of them comes up from behind and grabs my arm and pulls it behind me. I looked over my shoulder and my body turned a little and before I knew it he wraped his arm around my neck, threw me to the ground, pushed my face down into the concreet and put his knee behind my neck while they twisted my arms around trying to get them into position so they can get the cuffs on me..
They picked me up painfully and put me in the back of the car, threatened me with all sorts of citations and I told them right away that I wouldnt say another word, I wanted to see the majistrate on duty. Well my ID comes back clean (I gave them my DL # before the struggle) no warrants and they let me go all while giveing me a speach about carrying ID on me and doing what the cops say. It was the hardest thing to keep my mouth shut, I serriously thought about doing a little jail time and just nailing the one cop but I just walked away.
Cops use too much force in MOST situations and blame it on the fact that their job is tough... Waaah waah wah.. Those people are not cut out to be officers.

When a police officer uses force when it is not required, the police officer should be punished. There is no doubt about that. That is why there are legal avenues that you can pursue (internal affairs) if an officer acts in an improper manner.
From reading your story, it sounds as if these cops were out of line, and you possibly could have reported them.
You and I do not know the whole story about this Inglewood case. We were not there and we only know what we have heard in the papers (which could or could not be accurate). However, my opinion that I will shed no tears for some felonious thug who instigates an attack on the police and then gets his ass kicked, still stands.

Just an update...
Los angeles got a new Police Cheif from New York and this guy is really cracking down on the cops themselvs...
He fired the officer who hit that kid right after he saw the video and just said that his actions were inexcueseable and he dont want a cop like that working for him.
This new cheif is real no nonsence and has been doing ALOT to clean up LA... Just try and find a hooker in the day time on Sunset...
Damn the man...
