Sick to my stomach. Horrified. And thinking that the TV station in Houston that aired this video despite the cover up and threat of legal action deserves an award.
Is this really how we can expect police to act when they think they are not being watched? Judge, jury, and executioner of corporal punishment? I am completely and totally disgusted.
Oh and the cops who beat this teenager are facing only misdemeanor charges.
If you’re interested you can sign a petition hosted by colorofchange.org that will be sent to Attorney General Eric Holder and DOJ Civil Rights Division Chief Tom Perez by going here. Sure it’s just armchair activism, but somehow it made me feel slightly better that despite the actions of these men there are many more out there who find this incident abhorrent.
