New Orleans Police Beating
Y'know what ... each time I watch it I get more and more pissed off.
New Orleans police officers can just fuck off and die. Especially the fat tub of lard named Smith.
I would have no problem baiting him into an alley with a greasy cheeseburger and beating the shit out of him. Repeatedly.
So there.

Pretty much all of the "lord of the flies" type reporting out of NO-- you know, black thugs run wild, raping, killing, shooting at rescuers, etc.-- has proven to be either unsubstantiated or flat out untrue (for instance, all those rapes and beatings and murders in the Superdome have come down to one instance of attempted rape, which ended when the people in the vicinity got involved).
At the same time, more and more instances of police abuse are coming to light.
Doesn't it seem like an awful lot of people were willing to believe pretty much anything about the behavior of poor black people, with almost no evidence?

seems like the media does, which is of course what everyone else sees and therefore believes...

NOLA cops are terrifyingly corrupt. Have been forever.
Yep. Corrupt and unashamedly brutal.
Great city.
Wonderful people.
Excellent food.
Amazing music.
Worst police in North America.

Then why isn't the beating victim drawing attention to broad city police abuse? For the most part, he's indicting those brutes as "bad apples," exceptions to the rule rather than part of a systematic pattern of abuse. I'm just reading his comments to reporters, but is his lawyer citing those problems in court?
He has been forced to sign some type of NDA.
Or he's scared shitless.
To be fair to the "officers", he does look like a dangerous thug.

Is it illegal to be drunk in New Orleans?
In the French Quarter? At night? Of course! No one ever gets drunk and walks around the French Quarter at night!

Exactly my thought. So how can they charge him for that?

Well, there are charges in America of "public intoxication," which is likely what he's been charged with. But your point is dead on, considering the French Quarter is all about public intoxication. Hell, my girlfriend once passed out in the middle of Decatur street (for you NOLA people, down toward what used to be Storyville) and a cop ambled over and asked me to move her to a parking spot.
You're correct, though, Anders. It is ABSURD to charge someone with public intox in the damned French Quarter.

He's 64 years old and has a grey beard. He doesn't "look" at all like a "dangerous thug." Was that sarcasm?
I'm really just surprised that those brave "officers" were willing to take him on with just 4 to 1 numbers.

The most compelling testimony still rings true - that fameous blues singer that said that she not only was raped, but also witnessed many other rapes (including both boy and girl children).

Who? I've not heard any of this. Can you provide a link?
