So you are saying that its okay to have 6 white cops beat the shit out of a black man because he's a black man and a drunk. Am I getting that correctly?

I don't want to argue this point with you, so I'll clarify the example. The officers where way, way out of line in the King incident -- but there is ZERO evidence to suggest that it was a racist act. Zero. Just because six white cops beat up a doped unruly black man who was fighting them, does NOT make it a racist incident. The six white cops might well have beaten Rodney King in the same circumstances were he white.

(It is interesting to me the way liberals have this varying standard of proof, depending on who's at fault -- if it is a black criminal being beaten, the burden of proof is light -- mere coincidence is sufficient -- while if it is a white police officer who was shot by a black man, the burden of proof is the much higher "beyond reasonable doubt" standard), or in the OJ case, there is NO standard of proof which can result in a conviction. Liberalism at its worst.

So....because he was illegal......does that justify them beating the shit out of him? Is that what you believe?

No, but if he was resisting arrest it does.

are opinions more reflective of his biases than fact.

Nonsense. Have you ever heard the term "opinion" as in "Court Decision"? That's what "opinions" are -- the court has heard the facts and renders its "opinion". Jeez.
