There are only rare cases where the police should use excessive force to arrest someone. I don't condone crime but just becasue someone has committed a crime doesn't entitle them to a beating by the police.
Heath, you seem to be stuck on why someone commits a crime in the first place and glossing over the un warrented beatings that do occur. You can't say that police brutalitiy is ok just because someone has committed a crime. In fact, it's a crime when police use excessive force that is not warrented.
I have total respect for good cops. I have no respect for people (cops or not) that disrespect other people and their human rights and that are prejudice. What would you think about 3 black cops beating the shit out of a white guy that just committed a robbery but was in compliance with the police. Do you think that is justified?

I read your posts and get the impression that you believe someone getting their ass kicked by the police is warranted just because they have committed a crime. Please correct me if I am wrong. It doesn't matter if they have committed murder. Everybody in this country is innocent until proven guilty. It's not the job of the police to determine guilt. Everyone should be treated equally by the police. Now if a person resists arrest or commits an additional crime by not being in compliance with police orders, then all bets are off and they will most likely get a justified ass kicken for that reason. Not for the original alleged crime. By the way, that Chris Rock video you posted is freakin hilarious.
