Actually, she was running from the cop. He was chasing her and was right behind her and instead of continuing to pursue her, he pulled out his taser and electrocuted her while she was running, which cops are not supposed to do because she is posing no threat to the officer. Her head took the brunt of the fall on the concrete. She is now a vegetable and will probably stay that way for the rest of her life.

I’m sure most of us remember picture above, depicting the Houston Police Department beating the shit out of this kid.
“Hundreds of people rallied in Houston on Thursday to protest the acquittal of a former police officer in the videotaped beating of an African-American teenager. On Wednesday, the officer, Andrew Bloomberg, was found not guilty by an all-white jury in the beating and stomping of 15-year-old burglary suspect Chad Holley. Video taken of the March 2010 incident shows Holley being stopped by a police vehicle. After Holley falls to the ground, he is clearly seen surrendering and putting his hands behind his head. But instead of placing him in handcuffs, Bloomberg and six fellow officers proceed to attack Holley with stomps and kicks. “It seems we have become jaded, willing to accept in too many instances, young black people being grossly mistreated,” says NAACP President Ben Jealous.”

But as a white person, I have to ask the question, even though many people will hate me for it:
Was this man beaten because he’s black? Do cops treat white people the same way? As the owner of this police brutality blog, the answer to that question is blatantly YES!
If that was me (a white man) running from police, would they have beaten me as well? YES!
And there you have it. I’m not denying that there MAY have been a racial element to it. But we don’t know that. We must stick to the facts. Those police officers grossly mistreated this man. Those police officers should be severely punished. But I have a hard time swallowing the element of racism just because the cops were white and the kid was black. Give me more evidence of racism and I will gladly concede.
Either way, though. The acquittal of these officers is a blatant disregard for public safety, human rights, civil rights, honesty and justice in the criminal justice system. I am not surprised in the least.

This is a message to the Police, to the military, to the TSA, to Homeland Security and to members of every other enforcement arm of the government.
I know that most of you chose the life in uniform because you love your country; because you believed in what that uniform stood for; because you wanted to serve and protect… but I also know that deep down inside you sense that something has gone terribly wrong.
You’ve watched with the rest of us as elected officials have incrementally legislated our constitutional rights away, you’ve watched as the state surveillance apparatus has expanded like a cancer through the heart of the nation, and you’ve watched as the corruption has become more and more blatant. I can understand why you haven’t wanted to acknowledge the implications of what you are witnessing. To face the reality of what is happening would mean admitting that you’ve been betrayed, and it would mean coming to terms with the fact that you… are working… for criminals.
I don’t envy your position. I know your job depends on you following orders. I know you have families to support and bills to pay, and I know that if you stand up you could loose everything… but what you need to understand is that continuing to submit to unconstitutional, and immoral orders will not protect you from what is coming.
You may tell yourself that you will take a draw your line in the sand later, that there is a certain point where you will say no, but in reality, you crossed the line a long time ago. You are standing on the wrong side of history right now. You are already participating in the destruction of this country, in the trampling of our rights, of your children’s rights, and grandchildren’s rights. You are the enforcement arm of a criminal enterprise, you are a servant of a rapidly expanding police state, and you DO have a choice.
I’m not telling you this to condemn you. I’m telling you this because we the people desperately need you to take a stand. We desperately need you to have the courage to face your commanding officers, and tell them no, I didn’t sign up for this. No this isn’t right. No, I will not obey these unlawful orders.
You took an oath to defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. Time to start taking that oath seriously.
