if u hadn't noticed...next time they show the tape look at the kids legs dangling under him when robocop picks him up
Just like with the Rodney King tape, what you see on CNN may not be the whole story. What I've heard is that the kid, when picked up, didn't use his legs to hold him up. So the cop had to carry him and drop him on the cruiser. And about the officer that punched the kid, I've heard that the kid was grabbing the officer's testicles, so the cop punched him. I'm not saying I believe this, it's just what I've heard. However, I will give the police the benefit of the doubt any day.
I hate how all police officers get a bad rap every time these tapes are released. Would anyone care if the punching cop was black? Or if it were black officers doing this to a white kid? The truth is, the L.A. Riots were so great for media corporations that they're digging for similar stories/events. It's sad, but true.
