I just knew before I clicked on the thread that the girl would be black. Just one more case to add to the mountain of incidents involving police brutality towards black people.

She wasn't physically resisting him, the police officer was completely in the wrong.

Now, is that because there is a problem with black people being targeted or the internet is obsessed with violence against black people?

Neither, it's because there is video evidence of officers not adhering to procedure and abusing people.

The post you responded to was a question directed at Dezzy about his own opinion, I don't think you're quite qualified to answer on his behalf.

I'll post as and when I see fit on a topic, it's the nature of discussion forum, this isn't a private conversation is it?

No but you can't exactly answer a question about Dezzy's own personal thoughts on a topic can you? Are you inside his head?

Did I attempt to? You're veering off topic here.

Probably more to do with the fact that nearly all cases of police brutality that come to light involve black victims. There's been so many over the past few years in particular that it's hard to deny that it's a valid problem.

Exactly. The ones that "come to light" depend on the medias agenda at any given time.

That surely only bolsters my point about police brutality, no?

We only hear about certain stories, but it happens every day, it's just that there isn't always a camera around to record it.

What do you mean?

A general point about "police brutality" is quite a broad statement and topic. This video is one incident.
