The Great Slavery Debate: Are African Americans Due Reparations?

I don't see what your point is with the video. That kid was being a little punk and not cooperating. There was no beating, the officer tased him to get him to cooperate. I'm so sick of seeing these videos put forward as evidence of police brutality. The police have no idea what they're walking into when they make a traffic stop. Is it so hard to cooperate and not act like an a**hole? That kid deserved it.

What happened to the police reading miranda rights or explaining why you are under arrest? The kid was 16 and that cop put him in a coma for no reason. Was this kid a danger to the officer? The point of the video was that police brutality is happening to all races.

If you educate yourself on how the justice system is designed in the US, no one "deserves" any type of punishment until they're proved guilty buy a panel of their peers. That cop punished him with violence and a coma before he was determined to be guilty.
