The violent arrest of a suspect who was fleeing police on a horse has been described as “far worse than Rodney King” by the California man’s lawyer, after video appeared to show him being kicked and punched repeatedly.
Authorities in San Bernadino County, about 100 miles north of Los Angeles, have launched an investigation after a three-hour chase through rough desert and hills ended in sheriff’s deputies swarming the suspect and apparently attacking him as he lay on the ground.

Cops claim that Vineland, NJ resident Phillip G. White, who died in custody on the way to a hospital on March 31st after the K-9 attack, had been acting erratically, and when officers tried to subdue him, he allegedly tried to grab one of their guns. Then, cops say they pinned him and were forced to unleash the dog on him. The attorney representing the two officers who arrested White say the victim was on drugs at the time, and claim he may have died as a result.
“I believe the reports will show that he had ingested a large amount of PCP, cocaine, and another substance,” Attorney Stuart Alterman told reporters. “They have not released the autopsy report or the preliminary toxicology."

obviously you have to read between the anti-communist propaganda but that's the first skill you learn as a Marxist
wherein journalists, not propagandists, allow maricopa county cops to scare and intimidate a "civil rights activist" who was given no training into shooting them in hypothetical situations

i read that like maybe what they did was cuff him and chain his ankles, and then not belt him in. apparently cops do that a lot and it's called a "rough ride" and it allows the arrested person to get thrown all over the car while they drive, and people have been paralyzed and have died from it before, and it's against the rules not to seat belt them in. a new way, to me, of cops abusing people. cops seem to be really good at finding ways to kill or harm their prisoners

We can't ignore the fact that the city is burning, but we need to be talking about why it's burning and not romanticize peace and not romanticize marching as the only way to function. I'm not saying we should be hurting, I’m not saying we should be killing people, but we do have to understand that resistance looks different ways to different people and part of what it means to say black lives matter, is to assert our right to have rage – righteous rage, righteous indignation in the face of state violence and extrajudicial killing. Freddie Gray is dead. That's why the city is burning and let’s make that clear. It's not burning because of these protesters. The city is burning because the police killed Freddie Gray and that’s a distinction we have to make.
Seemingly stunned, CNN political commentator Van Jones expressed his disagreement by saying, in part, that :
Yes it is true. Dr. King said riots are the language of the unheard. It is, in fact true, and important that people recognize that the conditions in Baltimore for black teens are worse than conditions for teens in Nigeria. So, the outrage should be of course about the incredible injustice both from the police, but also the economic deprivation and I want to have a conversation. But I do want to be able to draw a line to say that the righteous outrage – we can take a moral position, as a part of this movement. Black lives matter, but you know what? Black jobs matter, and black businesses matter, and black neighborhoods matter and I don't think it's appropriate for us to give any kind of suggestion that the destruction of black communities is a positive or can be positive in thiss....
Between a few moments of cross-talk between Lemon and Hill, the latter again ranted:
What I’m saying is we can’t pathologize people who, after decades and centuries of police terrorism, have decided to respond in this way and when we use the language of thugs, when we use the language of riots, we make it seem as if it’s this pathological, dysfunctional, counter-productive[context.'
Pretty good political theater, for CNN.
