The Face of Police Brutality Is Getting Lighter and Lighter
Category: News and Politics
I've noticed that the face of police brutality is getting lighter and lighter. I am seeing more and more video footage of white people being beaten, tasered and roughed up by the police. Whitey would downplay our cries against police brutality and was often shocked by police evil caught on video and played on the local and national news. Now the chicken are home and roosting like crazy. In this case, the cops turned off the camera before beating the white woman. However, I am surprised that white America's outrage is barely audible. I guess until we see the cops gunning down a white grandmother or white teenager before the lens of a camera, the outrage may then come. This is not surprising and eventually, it is going to happen. You can see the video clip at www.abcnews.com. The picture of her face says it all!
Shreveport Woman: Cops Beat Me When Camera Off

A Louisiana police officer was fired after a woman, who was pulled over on the suspicion of a DWI, ended up with two black eyes and bruises to her face while in police custody in November.
What makes Angela Garbarino's injuries and situation more curious is the fact that Shreveport police Officer Wiley Willis turned off the interrogation-room camera after he and Garbarino exchanged words.
The video shows Garbarino requesting a phone call.
"You're not going to let me call anybody?" she asks on the video. "I have a right to call somebody right now and I know that. Is this on the record?"
The footage documents Wiley attempting to read Garbarino her rights, but he runs out of patience and things get tense. He seems to forcefully put her in a chair.
"Don't touch me again. Get away from me," Garbarino says after a scream.
Then, Wiley walks over to the police camera recording the booking and turns it off. What happens next is a mystery, but when the video resumes the handcuffed Garbarino is sprawled on the floor and silently lying in a pool of her blood.
