If you knew what was going on here in Philly with no regard for the police..shooting them down like its open season...residents afraid, gas too doggone high, milk FIVE DOLLARS a gallon...ooh the cop thing you wouldn't think it so bad. They opened fire right in front of the police these criminals don't care!!! Children elderly, disabled our society is in shambles!!

WE need Jesus and He loves us with an everlasting love. That's what we need...Jesus' love! Receive it today!

Cops are going to die this summer because of this nonsense--mark my words.

They've been out of hand. Like Obabma says, it's time for change--clap on me and I clap on you!

I'm tired of these police stories too. Before people comment they need to know all of the evidence and "see" it too. Remember the Rev. Wright clips? Anything can be believed with a few clips and an incomplete story.

Gangsters going around with Uzi's and guns more powerful than the police and people have the audacity to blame EVERYTHING on the police officers. Let someone shoot you in a city like Philly, Detroit, L.A., St. Louis, Trenton, Newark, etc., and see who comes to your rescue. It surely won't be Santa Claus.

I wanted to see that story last night on the news, but I had fell asleep! That's ashamed, because Black People know what Rodney King Went Through. I think that was dead wrong, but some people just don't know how to stay out of trouble, and the law sometimes have to do what their trained or forced to do! We still live in a messed up world! SAD!!!!

i don't blame the cops at all for acting the way they did. if you don't know the whole story then dont comment. they didn't just pull over any random person and start beating them. criminals in philly have no regard for the cops. too many police officers have been shot at and too many have died because of people like that.

thats cause one of their own got murdered last weekend, and when that happens, they aint asking no questions. The only good thing to come out of a cop's murder in Philly is that the streets are safe for about a week, cause aint nobody out fukkin around cause this is what will happen to you. 3 philly cops killed in 1 year, they are not having it. but the bad thing is, these [EXPLETIVE] dont give a fukk either.

Well, I just read the story and what I get from it is that they pulled the suspects car over and pummeled them for a while. Two of the guys have a record and one doesn't. I don't know. If you don't do wrong you won't get done wrong but the cops didn't have to jump on em like that.

@focus....I don't let anyone shoot at me without return fire (I'm educated but I'm still a Gorilla). People need to know the laws and understand that they can protect themselves(especially in Philly). Waiting for the police to "save" you is like waiting on babies. The cops come around to take a report and clean up the mess. How many times have they actually "rescued" someone? Not many. I live in Irvington and am from Trenton and I've seen many people get hit(as recently as 2 weeks ago) and that's exactly what they did, came 45 minutes after my peoples bled to death.

Not to step on any toes but when are people gonna learn that we can't always sit around and wait for GOD almighty to come down and make it all better. You sometimes need to do what you have to do to protect you and your own.

Kcire10 I cosign with you on a few points but this story is not be told in full, these cops been chasing after these guys for a while after they SHOT 3 people, not that I am saying they deserved to be beaten like that. Police stop having respect for citizens and Citizens stop having respect for police. TOO MUCH INNOCENT PEOPLE DIEING OUT HERE!!!

DAMN SEE IN PHILLY THEY ARE KILLING COPS SO THESE COPS DONT CARE NO MORE IS LIKE EVERY MAN FOR THEIR SELF ITS A WAR ZONE PHILLY RIGHT NOW !!! A COP JUST GOT KILLED A WEEK AGO !!

I don't condone what those dudes done I'm just saying that the cops didn't have to jump on em like that. But it is what it is.

The problem with police is that they think they're above citizens us (and the law) so they don't wanna talk. They come to work with this "I'm up here and your down there" attitude. They don't foot or bike patrol anymore so there is no getting to know who's who in the community. Most are not even from our neighborhoods so they already have a preconceived notion of how "we" all are.

I am tired of reading these post claiming that folks need to "know the fully story" I am from Philly, West Philly to be exact. An area now plagued with drugs and violence. It sickens me to see my old hood in such ruins. HOWEVER! what those cops did was 100% WRONG! And I DO know the story! Their behavior is only going to fuel an already explosive atmosphere of hatred toward police and separation of police and community. Saying know the full story is tantamount to justifying their actions.... So let you be the one in a car that "fits the description" and have yo azz beat like a drum! Will you still sing the same tune??! Perhaps you wish for us to be back in the days of Rizzo! THINK ABOUT IT....

ALLA YALL SOUND LIKE A BUNCH OF HOUSE NI**ERS. ITS NOT THE COPS JOB TO BE JUDGE AND JURY OF THESE MEN. THERE IS A SYSTEM(corupt as it may be) PUT IN PLACE FOR THAT. THE COPS IN PHILLY RUN AROUND HERE LIKE GANGSTAS. VIOLATING PEOPLES RIGHTS AND JUST HARASSING FOR THE FUK OF IT. A COP GOT KILLED..SO WHAT??? THEY KNEW THE CONSEQUENCES WHEN THEY SIGNED UP, ITS A ROUGH JOB. HOW ABOUT WHEN THEY ARE KILLING INNOCENT YOUNG BLACK MEN JUST FOR THE 'SPORT' OF IT. NOTHING EVER HAPPENS TO THEM. WE HAVE A BLACK MAYOR AND BLACK POLICE COMMISSIONER, WHO IN MY OPINION, FACILITATE THIS WHOLE ATMOSPHERE OF 'US' vs 'THEM'. THE HANKERCHIEF WEARING MAYOR IMPOSED A 'STOP AND FRISK' POLICY, WHEREAS THEY CAN STOP SOME ONE FOR NO APPARENT REASON...JUST BECAUSE. THATS LUDICRIUOS BECAUSE YOU KNOW HOW THEY ARE TARGETING. THE UNCLE TOM COMMISIONER SAID ABOUT THE VIDEO "IT LOOKS WORSE THAN IT SEEMS".... ANOTHER RODNEY KING THEME, TRYING TO MAKE YOU THINK YOU ARE NOT REALLY SEEING WHAT YOU ARE SEEING. YOU HAVE TO LIVE HERE TO REALLY UNDERSTAND THE DYNAMICS OF THIS CITY. IT IS SO POLARIZED. BLACKS LIVE IN CERTAINS SECTIONS, WHITES ANOTHER, HISPANICS ANOTHER, ASIANS ANOTHER AND SO ON. TRUE ENOUGH, THE SENSELESS VIOLENCE HAS GOTTEN OUT OF HAND AND BASICALLY YOU HAVE TO BE AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS AT ALL TIMES, BUT THIS TYPE OF LAWLESSNESS BY 'PHILLY FINEST' IS ALSO OUT OF HAND. WE HAVE HAD A RECORD NUMBER OF INNOCENT PEOPLE GUNNED DOWN BY THESE THUGS IN UNIFORM AND NOTHING EVER HAPPENS, NO ONE'S EVER PROSECUTED OR EVEN ARRESTED, FOR THAT MATTER... MAYBE THE CHICKENS ARE COMING HOME TO ROOST

The black American man won't exist in another 50 or so years. With his habits of selling out, self-genocide, disease, add to that white supremeacy getting the job done... you'll have to visit the muesuems to see his likeness pretty soon.

I feel like this....The Feds pull all the strings anyway..Internal Affairs and the Department of Justcie have a "By any means necessary" clauses....These cops won't even see a trial...The city prosecutor won't take it neither will the Attorney General or the DA...A cop got merked the cats in Philly gotta know that the Mayor and Chief want blood...In the words of Marlo you gotta send a message straight up....

They have too much muscle...yeah it looks bad on Tv..but if the NY cops didnt get anytime for Sean Bell...these nyggas won't even get time off..and if they do..it'll be paid time off....thats the game..these cats better wake up..!!

@1smoovlady

I agree with you, these guys might've deserved a azz wuppin because of the crime they committed but irregardless to that, it was not the cops place to do it. Like Kcire10 said, cops think they're above citizens. It's up to the judge and jury to decide the punishment not the police.

1smovvlady, I def agree w/ u...(1), Nobody should say anything about how the cops are in Philly if u don't even live here or know what's REALLY goin on...All ur seeing is a half-ass story...It's crazy how it has to take a cop getting killed for them to step their game up...Nutter is crazy, but I have respect for him, even though this new law is gonna have everbody booked by the end of the summer...Like everybody said, waitn on the cops will get u nuthn, if it doesn't concern them, they don't give a two-[EXPLETIVE] about u if it ain't got nuthn to do with them...Not every cop is like that, but 98% are...

this [EXPLETIVE] is not called for i dont give no [EXPLETIVE] what they did. the police are trained not to do these kind of things if they are going to do [EXPLETIVE] like this what the [EXPLETIVE] r they trained for. im so sick of this [EXPLETIVE] these mf pigs always beating and killing our black folks and getting no punishment for it. it is just sickening. yes they committed a crime but that is what the justice system is for

And of course this coverage has not been publicized. 'They're' afraid that this might start a media outrage...
What the hell is wrong with people.

these guys just shot somebody down... if it was your relative shot down, you would want the shyt kicked out them too. sometimes, there is more to the story.
 

SigmaMan1914
As a Philadelphian (born and raised) it pains me to see my city in this light. this video shows true police brutality and it pisses me off when mayor nutter (uncle-ass tom) try to say [EXPLETIVE] like oh we gotta understand that our police have things on their minds like the recent killing of officer lizbinski. give me a break so since they <cops> hearts are heavy lets just excuse them from this act of police brutality.....whateva man! i hope these officers are brought to justice and if the three black men they beat up are guility of the crimes police say they committed then they should be brought to justice as well. this video speaks for itself and it's in the context that it should be in. there's no other way to view this video then to see it for exactly what it is: police brutality!

I'm also a Philly resident and I also watched my beloved city become a cesspool of crime, murder, and violence. But the fact is, these three (actually 4, but one got away) THUGS shot a man right in front of the cops. I feel NO pity for them whatsoever. And to all the people saying "start shooting back", that is beyond ignorance. When one of you untrained, sideways-gun-holding, couldn't hit the broadside of a barn urban cowboys explodes a little child's head while "shooting back" at cops or baddies, what will you say then? It amazes me that most people didn't have a damn thing to say when hundreds of black men died last year but are plenty vocal when three get their asses kicked. to me that reinforces the notion that we're happier bitching about problems than actually trying to solve them. Mayor Nutter is not an "Uncle Tom" because he imposed stop and frisk, he's just trying to make the streets safer for your ungrateful asses; Something the last CRIMINAL we had in office couldn't care less about. Here's an idea, why don't some of the geniuses criticizing Nutter post their brilliant ideas of how to make the streets of Philly safer? I'm sick of all the whining about how others don't care about us when we don't care about our damn selves. A fool can rape and murder a baby but if you saw it, you'd better not tell or that's snitching. Pure f*cking ignorance, and blacks who REALLY want progress and not just empty bitching or lip service are tired of it. F*ck your corny wanna-be thug street code. It's CORNY. "Time to clap back", yeah go put a .45 in your toddler's hand and tell him to go out and clap some cops. What it's really time to do is act civilized and grow the hell up.

Are you educated or just schooled?

DogtownHussla
well put, Big Moose... I havent felt safe in Philly since my best friend and his 65 year old female coworker got murdered in March 07. However, when Nutter announced stop and frisk, I really didnt give a fukk, cause I aint up to no dirt. Some of these dummies actually think that [EXPLETIVE] is real to point a gun at a cop. That's why Philly PD is shooting these fools. Not saying they should have stomped those three, but they had just SHOT SOMEONE AND ARE CURRENTLY ARRESTED FOR ATTEMPTED MURDER.
 

moomoocat
@ Big_Moose - well put!
 

VinCee
Nice to hear the real news from the above posts. I only saw bits of it on the NY news and was wondering why the police were so riled up.

I must say though that the stomping was a bit excessive. The police are in the right to rough them up a little during the arrest but after they gain custody the beatdown should cease.

I seems thats it is going to be a long hot summer. Yikes.

@kcire10: I understand what you're saying but I just don't want to live anywhere where law enforcement is not there to protect and serve me and actually do it.

I can call the police where I live and they're here in nano-seconds. That's what my taxes are for. I do know people who talk about living in communities where the police don't care like the people don't care. That community is not for me.

@BigMoose: Well said.
