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,

I understand.

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.

Does it matter that the LAPD has had a history of not dealing well with the different races in LA?

(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.

What about when the NYPD bumfucked a black with a baton? do you think they would treat a white man the same way? How's that for a standard of proof? How about when three guys took off the arm of a black man in TX and then dragged him behind their car until he was dead? They couldn't find a cat so they decided a black man would do but really it wasn't a racist act? Or do you find that one an acceptable standard of proof? How about when two guys crucified a gay man in WY? Were they just two religious zealots or is that a reasonable standard of proof? How about the woman who got gang raped in MA........she was wearing a short skirt? They thought she was a 'ho......does that make it okay?

What is your standard of proof?
