...your almost immediate identification with every alleged victim by using their first name is evidence of your extreme bias .

And the cops are supposed to know that? All they know is, "a black guy pulled a knife on someone from the fried chicken place." They saw him, not the other guy, sucks for him. On the bright side, you can't really tell that he has a black eye...such privilege.

The police officers who committed this crime arrested, jailed and never to have a badge again.

Justice is not only about remuneration. It is also about punishment for the perpetrators.

Jailed for assualting a suspected violent criminal with their bare hands? He was party to a robbery with a deadly weapon, the police made a mistake of thinking he was the one with the knife. The cops could have tasered, pepper sprayed, or shot the guy. Afterall he was suspected of brandishing a knife. And what is the #1 thing we always hear in the shooting unarmed citizen's cases? "That threat could have been neutralized without a deadly weapon." Then when it actually happens but the circumstances turn out the guy wasnt the one with the weapon and only connected by association he gets released without a charge, and will be compensated for the wrongful imprisonment and wrongful physical harm. But on top of that you want to put the cops in jail? Answer me this: if they had punched the guy with the knife would you still suggest they be jailed? No. It was a mistake of identity, not an unlawful use of force, if it had been directed at the correct person. For that reason the person will be paid a settlement to cover that mistaken identity. If the scenario would have been no knife present at all i would agree, instead its just a case of mistaken identity IMO, not excusable but not worth criminal charges whatsoever.

So just go beat any black guy they see? Don't you think they had descriptions? Ofc we are talking white NYC cops aren't we?

He was an accomplice....

How often have you bought a slice of pizza with your friend holding a knife to the clerk?

Okay smartass why would he go out and borrow a dollar so that they could pay for the pizza, if he knew his friend was going to steal the pizza?

And there is still no reason to pummel him he had his hands up.

Maybe he didn't know... but that didn't stop him from participating now did it?
He and his knife wielding friend entered and exited the building together.


If two people robbed a bank but only 1 had a gun, should the other not be charged with a crime?

sounds like the guy was trying to get by legit when his friend had a nigga moment
