Richland County Sheriff re: the dickhead who used excessive force against an AA student in South Carolina

[Rex]

1. Prediction - it was all the students fault.

Lott was the victim. Force was needed.

[rbrnmw]

3. Yes of course

It's the same old song every time.

2. Gee

I wonder what he's going to say?

[rbrnmw]

4. The student should have complied blah blah blah

Even though the asshole cop has used excessive force before. I hope not but it seems to always play out that way.

5. You guys, he had no other choice.

When you ask a minor to do something and she doesn't, the only option you have is flipping your shit and taking her down.

[Rex]

10. 'Flipping your shit' does seem to be SOP for most of law enforcement.

Because talking and stuff is for losers donchyaknow! All that negotiation shit is B O R I N G! Much easier to flip!

[rbrnmw]

12. Yep pretty much

[tishaLA]

6. now that the DOJ is involved in this

to investigate possible civil rights violations, Lott better tread carefully.

BTW, when I read the headline, all I thought of was Leon Lett, thought of a Thanksgiving morning many years ago, and wondered what the hell he was doing having a press conference.

7. Lott requested the DOJ investigation.

[tishaLA]

11. ah, thanks. I didn't realize that. nt

[rbrnmw]

8. I hope he fires him
