That was Mark Fuhrman, and the two or three times they've already showed him he came off as a massive rear end in a top hat, so the next parts should be just wonderful.

like I want to give people the benefit of the doubt but why can't you just say:

"The police should have never done that. That was unacceptable use of force, and improper policing. We understand why the community is upset, and we are sorry and will work hard to change in the future, but this does not mean you are justified in pulling a dude out of his truck and caving his skull in"

Nobody gets thrown under the bus, you don't have to say all police are assholes, you can not tacitly approve rioting, yadda yadda yadda im g ay

e: the old paunchy POS is "tom lahnge"

Because policing is a closed community of self-regulating individuals who are not meaningfully answerable to outside authority and given long enough such a system will always trend towards authoritarian violence

I lol'd at the guy that said 'why burn down your community?" That gas station wasn't the community, nobody gives a gently caress except chevron or whoever. Also lol the cops were 2 blocks away but didn't do anything because thy were being videotaped by the chopper (and wanted to go Rodney King on more guys). And I didn't know about her diary of beatings :(

Episode 2 was seriously heartbreaking to watch. I was just old enough to remember the chase and the verdict but too young to really have remembered the rest of the details or most of the historical events leading up to everything. Those photos and journal entries, good lord :smith:
