LA cops beat the shit out of a "disturbed man"
According to the AP, the FBI is "investigating" two cops who beat up a defenseless and "disturbed" man on video.
The "investigation" of course, is being carried out because the public found out about the beating. This sort of thing goes down all the time, but most of the population doesn't find out about it.
According to the article from which I got my information, "The video, posted on the popular YouTube Web site, shows Officer Alexander Schlegel holding down William Cardenas, 23, as Officer Patrick Farrell places his knee on the man's neck and punches his face with a fist six
times during the Aug. 11 scuffle near the intersection of Gordon Street and Fountain Avenue.
"Cardenas is seen struggling with the officers while lying on his back, trying to yell, 'I can't breathe.'
And what is the response of the police department? "...as to whether the actions of the officers were appropriate in light of what they were experiencing and the totality of the circumstances is what the investigation will determine."
Under what circumstances would it be "appropriate" to punch a man six times in his face while another kneels on his throat?
And they try to pass this shit off on us, as if we were all complete idiots!
There's one way to show we're not; we need to organize against this sort of state terror, and we need to do it now.

lets do it.
lets get these cops, and jail them. teach them this is not o.k.
personally I have no problem with: finding those officers, and lets say five citisens hold then with thier kneee, and one punches his face while the others laugh. then let him go. but tell him not to do it again. we will find you, if you do.
good luck and blessings, love, m
