This is beyond reproach... To serve and protect my ass, this officer should be fired

Yeah you're probably right, its just if it was a white guy there wouldn't be the assumption that the cop was acting a dick becuase of race. The colour of the participants surely plays a role in the intereperation of a story in the media and amongst the public.

I genuinely believe if this had happened to an ordinary person the police would be defending their officer and challenging the story but becuase it happened to a celeberity and significantly a black celebrity they are hanging their officer out to dry and trying to distance themselves from the shitstorm as much as possible.

Nope, its because they're learning how to read the public, and they've realized 90% of the public will think that officer was out of order & scumbag. If the story broke & it was about an average joe, they would do the same. Its all about the reaction of the majority, and most of the views on here represent how most people would feel in general.

If he wasn't famous the story wouldn't have broke though.

Yes it would have. I can't believe there are people on this board that think people being prevented from seeing a dying loved one because of a cop is an everyday occurance
