Police beating sparks cries of “racism”
Is anyone taking odds on how long it will take for the lawsuit to be filed? I watched the video footage of Nathaniel Jones confrontation with the police twice. I have to admit that I agree with the Mayor’s initial assessment that it clearly shows “a 400-pound man violently attacking a police officer in a manner that put the lives of police officers at risk”.
Personally, I’ve always advocated tough treatment of criminals, and I don’t think that police should be subjected to this kind of behavior. At the risk of sounding cruel, I would say if a man takes a swing at an officer, he gets a bullet in the leg. A second punch is worth a bullet to the chest. That goes double for 350 pound PCP addicts.
