    This is not a white vs. black thing….i really wish people would stop making dicks of themselves by implying that…because BLACK COPS do the same f**king thing to their own people…if you don’t believe me…come to NYC and just pay attention….so sop making black peolpe look like asses and putting a white face on everything that’s f**ked up with US…because all that’s doing is making black people look like irresponsible dickheads that wanna blame other people for the s**t we do to OURSELVES…yet we PURPOSELY f**k our own s**t up….then make songs about it GLAMOURIZING IT…then we FINA A WAY to blame white people for the s**t we seem to be so proud of……….this particular case here isn’t a white or black issue…this is just another case of how f**ked up the police are in yet another state…that’s all…

    Now you can see why, there are so many police officers being killed in this day in age. Yet we are supposed be sadden when we heard about an officer being shot or killed. My thing is…If you live by the sword… then you shall die by the sword…Right is right…Wrong is wrong. Police officer or no police officer he was wrong.

    And like always, the cops are gonna get away with this s**t…they try to use the whole being wanted for drug possession thing as a smoke screen to cover up the fact that he punched a chick in the head 4 or 5 times WHILE SHE WAS HANDCUFFED AND DEFENSELESS!!…This is how that racist fag Guiliani got HIS police out of jams in NY…but yet this country called him “America’s Mayor”…this is the country we live in….we praise racist people….sigh!

    I’m just going to say it, a certain race hates black people. We had no option when the slave ships started to show up, and take us away. Brought here to till the land, build the White House, and fight in the Civil War. We have done nothing to be historically, and continuously treated the way we have, and continue to be treated by white people. Some say “driving while black” is a myth. There are many of us who no that so called myth, is a truth. This is the only country that hasn’t acknowledged slavery, as a despicable time in their history. I’m not talking reparations, I’m talking about integrity! When the topic is brought up, we get the same excuses: “it’s what everyone was doing”, “just let it go”, or my favorite “that was then, this is now”. Like the saying goes, “A present without knowledge of the past, makes for a doomed future!” Remember, racism is a learned behavior! Like in school, Black history teaches us about our ancestors, from then to now, including slavery! American history mentions slavery like it really never happened! Then, the only history class that counts as a full credit, is American history! These haters have to be retrained, in the treatment of others. Until then, things such as this will continue. Just be aware of your surroundings, wherever you go!

    DATS S0ME F**KiiN BULLSHiiT…DAT GiiRL AiiNT EVEN D0 SHiiT…P0LiiCE LiiKE DAT GET 0N My DAMN NERVES

    This is a prime example of police officers who, because they have ISH else to do and have to do something to justify them gettin a check, they randomly pick on, harass, and brutilize up. Then try to villify an obvious bystandard buy accusing her of supposed drug possesion. It’s just like back during the civil rights movemen when they used to lynch us or gun us down and then plant a weapon. Only thing is now even with proof there’s no disciplinary action imparted on the cops involved, any resignations still allow their racist buts to get a job somewhere else and they get let off still gettin’ “good job for beatin a negro” pay! Bull%hit!

    First of all, you all need to know, in most places, it is ILLEGAL to ride a bicycle on the sidewalk. Sidewalks are for PEDESTRIANS, roads are meant to be shared by motor vehicles AND bicycles. So, she was infact breaking the law. On top of that, we aren’t shown the full video. If she did have a warrent, then she would need to be arrested for that, then we don’t know if she was resisting arrest. I’m NOT saying this cop is in the clear, but I’m tired of OUR black community saying that police beat people just becuase of their color. Again, I’m NOT saying it doesn’t happen, but assuming that’s the reason is ALSO racism. When you aren’t fully educated on a situation, don’t comment, you look ignorant.

  • 2-5-2009 2:51 pm

    this is why we as people should stand up for our selves there was no way in hell that that police officer should get a way with that. the other police officers should get it too real talk

  • 2-5-2009 2:44 pm

    I’m with SAD_GEMINI84 as to why are we ‘just now’ seeing this…

    I’ve seen people run a stoplight with a cop sitting at the very light and NOTHING was done. But this woman gets harassed & beaten for riding a bike(not in the street disrupting traffic) on a sidewalk. I guess this wont stop until something catastrophic begins to start happening to cops. Because its clear that despite all the protests,lawsuits,camcorders, and every crowd of witnesses you need these days, still has no effect on police brutality/harassment.

    thats why in chicago we kill police officers they aint gone pull that s**t here

  • 2-5-2009 2:27 pm

    This whole thing is wrong. #1 How the hell is it illegal to ride your bike on the sidewalk. Hell thats what sidewalks are for. #2 His dumb ass pepper sprayed hisself, his fault. How the hell he did that I dont know. #3 That was excessive force. She was already down and they come and hit her. THE OUTCOME: She getting paid. That video is damaging. I wouldnt be surprised if charges are brought up on the officers.

  • 2-5-2009 2:21 pm

    Hold Up..this happen LAST YEAR?? Dang, why am I just now finding out about this? I have to agree with brown_eyez1984, because I also thought that’s where you were suppose to ride your bike.. on the sidewalk. As dark as it is, she did the right thing by getting on the sidewalk, because if she was in the road, she could have got hit by a car. Then the dumb cop got mad at her, b/c he sprayed mace in his face.. what a loser! SIGH.. I’m actually majored in Criminal Justice, but maybe I need to think this over. Poor little girl. Just horrible!

  • 2-5-2009 2:18 pm

    Everyone should e-mail the city of Millvillle, PA Government ( Mayor, Police Chief, DA, ect..) to put pressure on the police department and court system to let them know we as Black people will not tolerarte this. Why did it take a year for this video to surface?

  • 2-5-2009 2:05 pm

    That s**t is f**k up , i know she about to get payed because 1st of all no male cop are not allowed to touch a female they have to call an female cop to do so… How do u think u can be safe when cops are just like the murders and rapes??? S**t aint right

  • 2-5-2009 1:53 pm

    bulls**t…no words

  • 2-5-2009 1:37 pm

    ARE YOU SERIOUS!!! When has it been illegal to ride a damn bike on the sidewalk. I thought that was what sidewalks were for. That man didin’t have no damn reason to stop her nor put his f**kin hands on child. If they get off on this s**t you know the world is coming to an end. That was some bulls**t. I sure hat the fact that Johnny Cochran is dead and done.

  • 2-5-2009 1:08 pm

    Why did the drug comment come up after the arrest. He had no reason to hit her after she was handcuffed, that’s his problem that he sprayed his stupid a$$ in the eye. If he pulled his gun he probably would have shot himself in the foot. Go head with the lawsuit, they need to be brought down a peg or 2.

  • 2-5-2009 12:36 pm

    i hope she book they asses. now she have a warrant for drugs?? that is such bulls**t, why they aint charge her when she was getting beaten, i hate them racist hunkies

  • 2-5-2009 11:34 am

    are you f**king serious!! thats why i say f**k the police! since when was it a serious crime to ride your bike on the sidewalk? and NOTHING can defend why he hit that girl! we gotta take our streets back from these f**kin bullies! by any means necessary!
