I was looking at the title of the article - this really doesn’t look like “brutally beaten” by cops. And, I’m wondering if there isn’t more to this story. College town bars/bartenders/bouncers are (not surprisingly) pretty experienced judges of “too drunk to serve”. Or, was he not allowed into the bar because they don’t serve “that” (black, not drunk) kind? I don’t think so.

Waiting for the photos of this kid in band uniform in 3...2...1...

Forehead wounds usually bleed a lot.

“He’s from Chicago, a little police brutality to make him feel at home”

But I have actually seen people more seriously injured falling off a bar stool.

And there’s the typical group of people who watch a video that doesn’t show the whole incident, then assume that the comments from the activist who took the video are actually evidence.

If you spend a little time doing ride-alongs, you’ll see this stuff all the time: guy is drunk and disorderly, cop tries to calm him down, guy fights, cop takes him to the ground to cuff him, and the guy gets a facial laceration. Five seconds after he realizes he’s not going to avoid arrest he starts the whole “you’re only doing this to me because I’m black” routine. It’s all a common and often repeated act, you’ll see it any weekend in a decent sized city.

The only thing that’s changed is the agitators are getting more sophisticated, their useful idiot enablers are getting dumber, and the media is hyping every incident.

Several questions arise.

How old is the kid? Drinking age in Virginia is 21. Oddly, the reporter never gives the kid’s age. Normally, even if you had a car accident.....they’d say your name and give your age....but in this case...they avoided the age mention. So, I’m guessing the kid is 19 or 20....thus illegally drunk.

Next question....school night....1245AM...why is this kid out still drinking on a school night? If this had been Friday or Saturday night....I could understand this type of behavior.

Next question...was the kid drunk? Nothing I can see would suggest a degree of drunkenness....or was he entirely drunk?

What did Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe ever do about the Gentle Giant targeting and preying on white women around UVA?

The state of Virginia reached a $212,500 settlement last year with a UVA student who was arrested after her purchase of water was mistaken for beer.

Elizabeth Daly fled in terror outside a Charlottesville supermarket in April 2013 when her vehicle was swarmed by state ABC agents who mistook her just-purchased carton of sparkling water for beer.

Keeping pigs costs money, LOL!

Anyone who has seen a single episode of “Cops” would know that when a drunk perp (whether white or black) resists arrest and requires being taken down to the ground to be subdued and handcuffed risks hitting their head while being taken down. That is almost certainly what happened here.
