A ways into his beating, Salazar realized the cop wasn't going to stop, so he struck back. When he was next seen by his freinds, later that day, they did not recognize him, his face was just a purple, pulpy mass. After hitting the cop, the cop decided he was going to execute him, pulled his revolver, and they struggled for the gun. Cop died, Salazar fled to Mexico, where he was kidnapped by bounter hunters and brought back to Illinois. He spent several years on death row before being released. Even if they'd executed him, he'd at least have gotten a few more years of life than simply letting the cop beat him to death.
You have to ask yourself, is this cop going to seriously **** me up or kill me? If the answer is yes, then you fight for your life rather than let your relatives take the legal route. If you die, it doesn't do you a damn bit of good even if they win ten million from the city in a wrongful death suit. Would you trade brain damage or the use of your legs for millions of dollars?

I have to admit, this morning when I saw this on CNN, and then saw that the apprehended person was black, my hasty, emotional reaction was that the white cops were racist and they killed him for being a n*gger.
THEN I saw the video segment of the black guy attacking the officer -- he was definitely violently resisting arrest. |
At least you are honest Mr Fun.
A lot of people, even when faced with the truth, would rather not see the honest answer.
I am a former Federal Police Officer, both USAMP (U S Army Military Police) as well as BIA (Bureau of Indian Affairs). The Federal Govt. had to put Caucasian Officers on the Indian Reservation, because of the three families, the previous force wouldnt arrest a member of its family and would side with them against a complainant from another family. While I had many arrests, the majority, including 99% of my Felony arrests were of Native American decent. I had to not only answer to the Chief of Police, but also the Tribal Council (made up of 10 American Native Indians from the reservation),U S Federal Court Prosectors, local States District Attorney and F B I. So I "appear" rascist because of the limited number of caucasian arrests, (I also worked Public Safety so my Traffic Record was more evenly spread.)
This was aboard an Indian Reservation, Federally Funded, Federally run.
Now, lets take a white cop put into a predominantly Hispanic or African American precinct. Or maybe the 'Hood or barrio has a high crime rate. Now, The white cops come under much more scrutiny than others because of the "appearance" that they must have done something wrong, for without any video to prove innocent they HAVE to be guilty!
I love the onboard video camera but that doesnt cover all calls.
I know, many officers, white included are predjudice or rascist but not ALL are. I wasnt. I was a Federal Officer, Sworn to uphold the Law.
Some folks do the job to the best of their abilities. The Indians on the reservation would call to have an officer to be a referee, not unlike what goes on now. BUT when the officer has to protect himself, and their happens to be many their to try to stop him, then he may well be put into a bad situation whereas the crowds single him out as being predjudice.
My son is a deputy sherriff and a member of our local SWAT Team. I have allways given him this advice:
Do your job. But remember this:
It is better to be judged by a group of 12 then to be carried by a group of 6!
Peace
