Given that the woman who was subdued with a few swift police punches has admited she was very drunk, has no recollection of the events in question, and according to more than one police officer was violent and even grabbed one of them in the nuts, why does she have the right to complain? Would this have even made the press if the woman was white?
It seems to me that irrespective of creed or colour people need to take responsibility for their own actions and cannot then blame the police if they are so violent it takes five officers and a dog to subdue her.

I think that the race card is the biggest excuse that any criminal in every country uses, and they do it over and
over again.....If you commit a crime you should be treated
in the same way no matter what colour you are, there should
not be affirmative action jail sentences because you feel
sorry for yourself after you have committed a crime, because
of the colour of your skin....Get real people, it does not matter
what colour you are, If you break the law you should be made
to face the consequences, no matter which country you
may be in......................................................................................

We're a free country & everyone has the right to speak their mind or complain. That said, it is truly sad that the media gets ahold of these stories & put such a biased spin on them. Usually the person crying racism is the one that is the racist.
I don't get why we even give criminals any rights at all. If you want fair treatment don't break the law!

Exactly! The degree of force used by law enforcement is directly tied to the degree of resistance.
She was out of control and a danger to herself and the officers. The fact that she is a woman has nothing to do with it.
When you comport yourself like a thug you will be treated like one.

She has no right to complain. Our society and the media have made it too easy to play the race card. Everybody seems to go overboard to be PC and in fact, it is discrimination and gives excessive rights to those who want to play it. Just ask OJ.

I would like to think that even if the woman was white that it still be reported, why hush up bad behavior from any ethnic group.

white ,asias,latinos get mistreated by the cops too. But black people blame racism not the fact that they were breaking the law.

You answered your own question and I agree with you. If you're going to fight with the Police, you're going to get hurt and the police shouldn't have to apologize for it -- no matter what color you are.

It's very universal, this is excuse 1A.."it's because I'm black(or purple,green)". And people will hide behind that poor overused excuse because it still works, unfortunately.
