I love law enforcement men and women for the most part, particularly police officers who come from US military background.
And the reason why is that in my humble opinion they're less apt to fall into this pattern of bad or illegal behavior and abuse of their power due to the rigidity of the military structure, and respect for authority and also for the accused or enemy per se than officers just fresh from "Police Academy" which of course is nothing like the dumb movies of the same name
So as much as I love officers on the "straight and narrow" I freaking DESPISE anyone in power anywhere in our society who abuses it, a trait that today seems to infect every person that goes to Washington or anywhere else people are "in charge" of others.
A category of people which covers everyone from a pushy boss with an attitude to rogue cops, dishonest and criminal politicians and most of all crooked judges, especially liberal ones. When I say "despise" I mean "despise".
.......and yet I don't see all the usual race baiters and other opportunistic MSM assholes defending this poor man who took that obviously unnecessary beating because why?
Because he's white, that's why the media could care less about this story and we have to report about it on blogs although they are covering it today as you can see from the ST cover and the article from the Tribune excerpted below/
If this poor beaten motorist were black and named Rodney King and had a record stretching from one end of the hospital bed to the other he'd be media star and multimillionaire in that order.
Strangely enough the man who was in charge during the King beating (which also resulted in a beatdown of an innocent man dragged from his rig by black attackers we all remember as well who the media didn't care about either because he too was "white and must have deserved it") died today and his name was Daryl F Gates who was forced the force and was 83 when he passed

Too bad he's nothing but a "useless white man". Talk about reverse racism, this is racism by omission, in other words it's just as racist to ignore crimes because of the victim's skin color as it is to report them for the same reason.no?.
Streamwood cop beating: Officer beat motorist - chicagotribune.com: "As Ronald Bell crouched on his hands and knees on his driveway, the Streamwood police officer started whaling away with his metal baton, striking Bell on his back.Bell tried to block the blows with his right arm, but Officer James Mandarino then hit him on the head and arm — 15 times in all — until Bell collapsed to the pavement, clasping his head in his hands in a desperate attempt to shield himself from further abuse.Bell was charged with resisting a police officer and reckless driving, both misdemeanors, and was issued a handful of traffic tickets, including driving under the influence.But less than a day later, the attention of law enforcement shifted to Mandarino. A digital camera mounted on his squad car recorded every second of what Cook County prosecutors said was an unprovoked beating. The early-morning assault played out amid the headlights of the police cruiser as its windshield wipers swept back and forth in the rain.Mandarino, a 15-year veteran of the northwest suburban department, surrendered Thursday to face felony charges of aggravated battery and official misconduct. Prosecutors said the attack left Bell with a concussion, extensive bruising and seven stitches to close a wound in his right ear."
