1. ...you'd think the cops who use excessive force would be hip to the number of people, in this day and age, who are standing around with cell phones. just goes to show you we're not talking about the brightest bulbs. from what i've seen, brolin is staying mum on the incident, good plan. i think this is one the cops won't be walking away from...

3. Corruption of this magnitude starts at the top and trickles down. These officers are the illegitimate children of their boss. That's who they need to prosecute. It's hard to tell what atrocities have occured. Let's shed a light and see what crawls out from underneath. Thanks for shedding the light TMZ.

7. You idiots. No one uses the antiquated phrase "City fathers" anymore.
I don't know if you've noticed, but there are many women in the halls
of government these days.

Now, I have occasionally slapped you people on the wrist for a
grammar or style issue here or there, but other than that, I have
been pretty kind to you nitwits at TMZ. But this time, I am going to
have to cry foul at the top of my lungs and call you the idiots that
you are. I'm sorry. I call 'em as I see 'em.

I'd venture to guess that more than 50 percent of your readership are
women. Women, as a rule, don't care much for phrases that are
offensive in nature to them. Not only is that phrase offensive, it is
just wrong. You really need to change its use here, and never use it again.

8. The public outcry needs to be loud and sustained to get any changes to happen. This sort of incident happened in Canada several years ago. The cops were charged and later fired. The defentant was exonerated and received a just payment for this inexcusable, horrific and downright illegal behaviour.

11. This ranks right up there with that BART cop shooting his suspect while the suspect was pinned down and contained. Shot him in the back! Real man that cop was...

12. Um, let's see... (a) Louisianna + (b) Redneck PD. Yep, just like peanut butter & jelly. And we're surprised this happened? LOL. The only surprise is that they stopped short of any further physical abuse.

15. Welcome to Louisiana where the PO-PO don't play,
Where they light up p#ssy Hollywood nearly every day.

Won't be nothing left but yo naked ass by the creek.
Y'all come! We'll be waiting.
