There are a lot of cops who are violent cunts. Blacks, having generally a higher rate of crime in their communities, therefore deal more with aforementioned violent cunts, resulting in shit like this.

He should have shot that coon in the head nine times. Maybe then he would still have his job.

Actually I agree with this anon. The dude was clearly resisting arrest. We (I'm American) definitely need to get rid of the racism in the police force, but here in Chicago (I'm a Chicagoan), these neighborhoods are rough and police officers need to be able to use force when suspects resist arrest. This video was, in my opinion, blown way out of proportion relative to the crazy shooting of the unarmed suspect that became a big story earlier this year.

Welp, another cell phone video another day.
1) Obviously uncomfortable situation for the police. Potentially excited civilians don't make the job any easier.
2) Suspect should not be resisting arrest. Makes the situation more tense for the officers.
3) Standing officer knows back up is coming and knows potentially excitable civilians are around.
4) Standing officer decides to kick suspect in the head. This is a bad decision. A) it is unnecessary considering the suspect was pinned and despite struggling wasn't going anywhere. Another tactic could be used to help subdue the suspect. B) Stomping on a pinned guys head is a good way to excite the crowd making the situation more dangerous for everyone involved.
Great example of the wrong way to handle a tense situation.
