WTF - Cops Beat 15 Year Old Black Girl In Holding Cell

*Groan*

Apparently the story is about 2 days old; however, I'm just finding out about this.


Just watch the video:

    Alleged? And what could the "other side of the story" reveal? Violence against women is becoming more and more acceptable in our society. Pimps are being glorified in cinema and the music industry. Women, women of color in particular, are devalued in their own subcultures and that sentiment is gradually embraced more and more by the mainstream. This video demonstrates that. We have taken giant steps backwards when, to reference one of your earlier postings, young women feel compelled to defend Chris Brown's actions. There is NO provocation, verbal or otherwise, that warrants the abuse of a woman!

    I most certainly will NOT watch the video!

    I concur with what Anonymous above said. It won't surprise me if it's soon doing the rounds on YouTube, et al, overlaid with a Hip-Hop soundtrack.

    I'm hoping, though, that the video was used for the purpose for which it was (supposedly) intended, to catch such incidents and bring the culprits of such power abuse to book.
