It's amazing how fast a cyber mob can form over a couple of sentences. You can see which side the media is on when it took four writers to come up with the sentence "smashed in the face with a taser" rather than hit in the face. Let's see how the evidence pans out before you bloodthirsty vultures get to "hang 'em high". I'm confident that justice will prevail even in the peoples republik of California.
I'm not. This is Orange County. You know about Orange County, CA? Populated largely by Fox News Republicans who would sooner burn their mother at the stake than think that a cop could ever do anything wrong.
Besides, wasn't this just a
street person that these cops beat to death? Many of the Good Folks of Orange County won't be able to generate much sympathy for such a person. If he had shown some degree of personal responsibility for his station in life and made something out of himself, that might have made a difference - but he didn't.
