i still haven't seen that movie, but I've heard for years I reminded people of ed norton in that pic - not in the nazi way, just in the white guy with tatoos way.

Yea, I need to check it out. When I was lifting all the time, and would wear the wifebeater to mow my lawn out to a fancy dinner or whatever, people would reluctantly say "did anyone ever tell you that you remind them of that ed norton in American History X"

Then I would curb them and say "yes."

Mr Davis, 64, of New Orleans, was charged with public intoxication, resisting arrest, battery on a police officer and public intimidation. He was treated at a hospital and released into police custody.

someone care to explain the police use of the phrase "public intimidation" as it applies here?

Well, we dont know the full story. All we've seen is what happened when the police got a bit extreme in their response. However, the events leading up to what we saw may reduce the severity of it to some degree.

Yea, he could have tried to pee on their shoes, which probably would have justified most of the beating. After all, they have some pretty nice shoes.

well, if he is trying to publicly intimidate other folks on the street (or doing so as a result of his drunken behavior) perhaps that was why.

I haven't seen the whole video, but the clip I have seen doesn't show much of what leads up to it. was this guy harrassing people on the street? any other behaviors he exhibited?

also, and not as a defense of the cops actions necessarily, but i think we need to realize that the entire area has been a pressure cooker for the cops. many have had their own homes looted while they are out defending the property of the people who are doing the looting (at least those cops who aren't looting themselves). Families are all over the place, houses are gone, etc., etc., etc....

tensions are obviously going to be running high, and everyone has a breaking point where some random thing is just going to put them over the top.

Again, it's not a justification, but I think its something we need to at least consider in looking for an explanation for their behavior (instead of folks always wanting to jump on the race card bandwagon...)

I agree with tnf.

3 cops beating an old guy til he lies bloody in the streets... only thing that justifice that is if he was waving/shooting with a gun.

One cop beats him 3 times in the back of his head WHILE he is being restrained by 2 others... use of unessecary force eeh?

Then one cop grabs a guy with a press pass and push him up against a car threathing him.... hmmm...

Post by **andyman** » Mon Oct 10, 2005 7:41 pm

i like how the one guy kept holding his pass up and almost got beat down

My bad...it was his PRESS pass.

And the story is that the cops found the old guy drinking licquor in puplic and they got raged.
