What many here don't know, especially those who have never lived in big cities is Police know who the bad guys are. Neighbors know who the bad guys are. And above all family members know who the bad guys are. The media portrays the police as pulling up to the kid with no reason, neglecting to divulge his previous criminal record as if it doesn't matter.

I guess nothing beats the ratings that come with a good riot.

His Rap sheet could be 20 pages but in our country you are afforded a trial. You don't show up after a trip to the station dead with your spinal cord nearly severed. That may happen at the hands of the Tonton macoute in Hati but should NEVER happen in the United States. Now I'm sure you will justify it by saying 99% of all offenders are brought in alive .
