[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I definitely believe the police officer used too much force, but for the OP to say in the subject line that he was assaulted due to his race is not accurate.

He seems to have been targeted because he matched a description of the person for whom they were looking.......[/quote]

Obviously he was targeted because he matched the description of a suspect...but why was he physically taken down like that?
If the suspect in an identity theft and credit card fraud case was described as looking like Andy Roddick do you think the cop would have ran up and tackled him?[/quote]

We have no way of knowing.  If your claim is that police don’t tackle white suspects, you would be incorrect.
This is more a case of an overly-aggressive cop.  [/quote]

Every ethnicity is at risk of being subject to over aggressiveness by the police. Its just happens to black people a heck of a lot more. So they scream the loudest about it. You best believe if suburban whites were continually harassed and thrown against the ground for their marijuana, drunk driving or "higher-end" drug activity (or alternatively, financial and insurance fraud), changes would happen quite swiftly. Thats what happens when 1) you are the majority and 2) you collectively have way more resources and connections than everyone else.[/quote]
