Another Proud Moment in Law Enforcement History

Philly was never a great place to mess with the cops.  It used to have a Mayor named Rizzo who was quite proud of the fact that his cops could stop any black man anywhere anytime for anything or nothing.  Ah, the heady days when the cops could keep all those bad guys in line with a few blows from their nightstick.

But Frank Rizzo was such a long time ago.  It’s not like that could happen today.  Right?



It is such a shame that there’s no audio to go with the video.  So, to add to the experience, I offer the following dialogue:

Cop:  Hey Joe, nobody has stomped on his thigh yet.
Cop:  Got it.
Cop:  isn’t anybody gonna hit him with the night stick?
Cop:  Fine, do I have to do everything myself.
Cop:  Petey, did you get a head kick in there?
Cop:  No, Sam, I was waiting my turn.
Cop:  Well, go for it.  It’s not like we have all night you know.
Cop:  Harry, you already beat him twice.  Give somebody else a turn.
Cop:  I did not.  I only beat him once. 

Man getting beaten on ground:  Ahhhh,  Arrggghhh.  Ahhh.

Cop;  Did he say something, Joe?
Cop:  Yeah, he called you a wimp.
Cop:  Oh yeah? 
Cop:  Harry, that’s your fourth kick to the head.
Cop:  Bull, prove it.  You got a video?

Well, Harry, in fact we do.

    I lived just outside of Philly during his second reign.  I remember driving through center city and watching it happen.  It was unbelievable how brazen it was.

    Police brutality is an outrageous crime and should be punished to the full extent of the law. People lose faith in law enforcement and in justice in general when the police in Philadelphia, New York City and anywhere else are allowed to beat, harm or even kill “alleged” criminals. The current state of the relationship between communities and the police is bad enough, the mayor of Philly needs to come down hard and ignore the union’s cry for protection. Justice must be served.
