Cover-up By Philly Cops In Videotaped Beating?
May 12th, 2008A lawyer says the police never believed the victims were involved in an officer’s death
Did the 15 Philly cops who beat down three Black men during a traffic stop last week really think they had nabbed the suspects in a local shooting, or did they make that story up to cover up a serious case of mistaken identity? Eldridge Suggs, the attorney for one of the beating victims, Dwayne “Lionel” Dyches, said that neither of the suspects was involved in a street-gang shooting – and the police knew it – but they initially thought they had captured the man who had shot a Philadelphia Police officer. “All they’ve done is make up some facts to account for the beating,” Suggs said. “And the reason why they beat this man is because he looked so much like the cop-killer.” On the evening of May 4, police stopped a car carrying Dyches, 24; Brian Hall, 23; and Pete Hopkins, 19. The three young men were yanked from their car and punched, stomped and pummeled with nightsticks by at least 15 policemen, as news helicopters captured the entire event on videotape. Thirteen of the officers have been put on leave. At a news conference Friday, Suggs held up a photo of Dyches and police shooting suspect Eric Floyd and called the two men’s resemblance “uncanny,” Philly.com reports. Floyd was captured last week and charged with the murder of Sgt. Stephen Liczbinski. Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey and Mayor Michael Nutter contend that the officers stopped the three beating victims after a triple shooting in North Philadelphia . They denied a cover-up but acknowledged that the incident was a “black eye on the force.” They also said that the Rev. Al Sharpton, who likened the police actions those of the officers involved in the infamous 1991 beating of motorist Rodney King in Los Angeles , was merely fanning racial flames by suggesting that the incident was racially motivated. Do you think there was a cover-up?

Always Is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is bull. BET.com where do you get you news from? I’m a Philly cop and this story is whack! I think you should get your story from a worthy source… lol
of course it’s a cover up!! a blatant abuse of power, and racial profiling at it’s finest!! those cops knew what they were doing from the beginning..they are ALL white, the victims are BLACK, and the cop that was killed was ALSO white… do the math…
Yeah right PPD, you are a Philly cop like I’m a airline pilot…..
I don’t know if any of you remember this story…but this story with the beating victims and mean they are victims…well some years ago a white man..said that a black guy shot his wife and tried to rob him…and the police force in Philly went door to door beating and arresting black men…this ashame..also they lost it during the Black Phanther years..the cops in Philly have always been out cold..
MAN O MAN…. regardless of the state, i think the police do a lot of negatvie things. not all but a vast majority. On sunday i was driving w/my man and his little brother they pulled us over “because yall r out, chilling” now a days they don’t have 2 have a reason, they searched our car, made them get on the ground and all but mind you we were parked already b/c we was picking someone up and i am from Boston… so i say f**** all these lame, using there authority to get somewhere sorry A** cops.
Are you kidding, a cover up? Man please! All you have to be is black…and be in the car with other brothers..could have been three deacons in the car..uummn Well!
regardless.. the police shouldnt be able to attack them like that…sad
WOW! Once again…Of cours its a cover up, they are never going to admit wrong doing, and this will get swept under the rug like evrything else.
PPD-22d then you should know the rules and procedures, of a car stop. You don’t just stop a car and drag people out and start beating. Is that a form of racial profiling, (he looked like the suspect a black male). So what you are saying is all black males look alike or are the all suspects? There is a right way to do things, and kicking a man on the ground is wrong at all times when he/she is not fighting back.
It was hardly an “attack”. It was little more than a school fight. No one was seriously hurt so why should anyone get in trouble?
Oh and you best believe before any thing is published, when it may have potential for a law-suit it is backed by facts not fiction!
those cops should be sent to jail, and the mayor and chief of police should be forced to resigne
yeah it is a cover up!!!! some cops swear that just because they have a badge that they can do whatever they want. its true because i nearly got my butt locked up cuz a cop thought i was with a group of dudes who was selling and i was just trying to get some food from the Chinese store. I ain’t saying all cops are bad but the cops that feel like they can pick on the little people that are law abidding citizens are pathetic.
all i wanna know is why? everytime a cop or cops beat and hurt peoples more then less blacks its always justified. why are they always getting away with this type of thing,this is so wrong i mean they have it on video buy some how or another it means nothing maybe it was videoed wrong.i have a son with autisum he also was beaten by greenville county cops tased nearly broke his foot took his money all because they say he had something in his pocket the cover was he could have been drunk or on drugs you have four car’s of cops no blue lights flashing at 10:00pm you have peoples telling you a person is retarded can’t talk don’t understand you and you still say he’s drunk or on drugs and you don;t smell alcohol you don’t have your blue lights on because it will cause your cam to record now you tell me who was out looking for trouble now it’s time for a change because we are tired of our people’s being hurt are killed by cops and getting away with it i feel if they do the crime they should do the time like the black man do every day of it
Cover up??? Let’s be real, Policeman think they are above the law, and I see that everyday. I can get a ticket for talking on my cell phone without a hands free device, so who gives the officer a ticket when he’s on his? Who gives the tickets when they park where they please? Maybe this doesn’t apply to all, but it can sure apply to a big majority. And by the way-WE ALL DON’T LOOK ALIKE.
I believe this was a cover up. The police are not above the law. This is new time and day. Not all police shield them selves behind their badge but, those who do think they can do what ever when ever. I’m glad the news crew was there to film this taken place. If it would have been left up to the police to film the event, how much would have really been filmed from their patrol cars. I hope they are sued for this mistaken idenity.
THAT NEVER WOULD HAVE HAPPEND IF THAY WAS NOT BLACK MEN. IF THE PLOICE DON’T NO WHAT’S RIGHT THAY ALL NEED A EVALUATION SO WE CAN WEED OUT THE BAD APPLESSSSSSSSSSSSS! WHAT EVER HAPPEND TO TAKING THEM IN AND LETTING EVERTHING TAKE CARE OF IT’S SELF. OH THAT’S RIGHT EVERTING DON’T MEAN THE SAME FOR EVERONE I’M SORRY I FORGOT. MY GOD BLESS U ALL.
I do believe it is a cover-up. They said that they were involved in a local shooting; however, were not charged as such. Those kids just happened to be BLACK at the wrong time.
Philly cop? If the story was caught on camera, what is there to cover up. There’s your evidence right there. You mean to tell me that it takes 15 cops to take three men into custody??? Must be some soft cops then since the pretty much beat the S#$@ out the guys!!
THE POLICE IN PHILLY ARE A GANG . WE NEED COPS TO POLICE THE COPS ITS SAD ……..
Without a doubt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whatthe hell does a cop killer look like ? These racist cops should be fired and thrown in jail with a cell block full of brothers,then and only then will justice be served
Cover up or not, the beating of the three men were unjustified. I haven’t yet heard that these guys were armed! I just think it’s sad that you can even trust the law anymore. I just keep on praying..I just hope it gets better before it gets worse.
Yes This is a cover up and I think that they had no right to beat those young men like that they should be in jail and they should b in there for attempted muder cause if they would have kept beating on them they would have probably died and i pray that god have mercy on their souls but also show them who Is God they have to face him on judgment Day and Man Oh Man it is comming sooner than you think just Look at the World NOW it is getting worse by the min.just like the bible says and its time to get right and do right now day you have to pray and pray hard for protection from all the wordly thing cuz it is the only thing that is going to help is Praying to Our Lord and savior Jesus Christ I pray that those young men come out on top and come to know the Lord if they dont which they might do Im pretty sure if I could say anything to them It would be that God is keeping Yall through it all and I will be praying everyday that justic is served Cuz God Know all and Sees all and If you Pray to him and just say Jesus he will work it all out for your good Im a living witness to that just hold on and be strong cuz God is with you and all he want is you to Keep the Faith and Trust in him!!!!
Mrs, Leach
We should be policing our own communities; teaching our own children - people we must unite and take back what’s ours. How long will we sit around and allow officials to brutalize us and our children - our men are being attacked by those set forth to protect them. If we can’t trust the boys in blue, then we need to become Men in Black!
It was never my understanding that the police pulled the guys over because they thought that they had been involved in the murder of Sargeant Steven Liczbinski, the police officer who confronted the males responsible for the bank robbery inside of a grocery store and who are also ultimately responsible for his murder. The story in which BET refers to above, it was my understanding that someone in that car had just shot someone and that was why they were being pursued by the police before they were stopped, dragged out and viciously beaten.
Cover up or no cover up they did not deserve to be beat the way they were regardless of what they did.You don’t see them resisting arrest. You see the police looking to see which one can I beat.Plus the cameras don’t lie. There is not justifying what we saw. I have lived in Philly all my life and am ashamed at the way the police treats certain minorities. How can they call this the city of “Brotherly Love?” Where is the love toward our own people of this city. We teach our children to go to the police but when the police do things like this it makes them all look bad. I know that you do have some good cops but the bad makes the goood look bad. I feel as though everyone of them that was involved in the beating should be dismissed and charged with police brutality. What ever happen to “innocent until proven guilty?” Mayor do your job and stop trying to cover this situation up.You are disappointing the people of your fair city.
This is directed to PPD, I am a pilot, but it does not mean that all pilots drink while on the non drinking period, even though some do. In essence, I am saying just because you are with the Philly PD doesn’t mean wrongs did not occur. Don’t be that shallow. No matter what, you don’t beat a SUSPECT. Whatever happened to CIVIL RIGHTS? INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY????? Oh, I forgot, I am a Black person in America.
It’s just another sad story and i believe justice will not be served as usual ONLY because the three men that were beaten are black and All the cops were White….. Same Old Story and it does’nt make any since at all seriously!!!!
If the story that I have read over and over is correct, then it means that the attorney who is using a “cover up” defense will need to go back to the drawing board.
aight i seen the video…1st of all the car was NOT fully stopped when the cops literally YANKED nd beat down 3 black men….u kno wat i think?? Cops think that they can get away w/ ANYTHING nd EVERYTHING jus ’cause the got a badge….it’s NOT right…it’s jus ridiculous!!
PPD-22 BET got their story where everyone else got theirs from the video. Daahhhh!!!
And you wonder why there are cop killers….
BET you should be asamed to block my response!!!!!If you don’t want truth I suggest your in the WRONG industry. Take the puppet string off of your neck…your choking!!! My voice will be heard!!
hell yea its a cover up
Dam I need some of that big money, they are going to sue for and get.
All of you that contribute to this is one way or another and you know who you are from media giants to dirty politicians down to filthy pigs that patrol our streets all have to face one judge. Your hands have bloods all over your hands!!!!!! Is is protect and serve or protect your neck while you continuosly serve the blacks in this country with brutality?
MP - I agree. If there is justice - I will be happy. But there is ALMOST NO justice for a Black man being BEAT Down, SHOT up and lets not forget FRAMED, etc. by Police. Most of the time (not all the time) unfortunately, it’s White Police Men taking out their everyday frustrations on Black Men’s heads.
It could’ve been their wife that pissed them off - but it’s a Black Man’s head that’s going to suffer - THAT’s in ANY STATE in America.
another sad day in America…Honestly things like this just make me worry more for my own brothers, not only do I have to worry about the enemy in the streets for them, but also the police…When is being BLACK going to be a little easier?? Just a little…may God have mercy on their souls
Hi
I do not know if it is a crover up .But it need to stop police have to understand we are all god people we are not all bad people no one want to be beat like that I live in a small place and I have so much fear of calling the police of being stop by one is this the way we have to live today we black people are human to I was born in 1963 and it was not like this when I was growing up.
THE SOLUTION TO RACIST,ABUSIVE, & CORRUPT POLICE OFFICERS, IS TO KILL THEM ALL(INCLUDING HOUSE N@##ER POLICE); BLACK PEOPLE SHOULD DO TO THEM, THE SAME WAY THE VIET CONGS DID THE AMERICAN SOLDIERS DURING THE VIETNAM WAR, PERIOD!!!!
Indeed K K K police officers seem to know that they can kill certain people with impunity.
Indeed K K K police officers seem to know that they can beat and/or kill certain people with impunity.
beat and/or kill certain people with impunity.
Yes, just like the DC cops got off for killing that kid Deonte’, they never found a weapon near or on the boy and they recovered the vehicle days later, adn on top of that the young man was shot in the BACK of the head how was he firing at officers , then they left the scene changed vehicles and did no report it until after they shot and killed a 14 year old proverty stricken kid. Now the DC government is trying to find a solution. If anyone did not know the DC public school system is crappy unless you live in the wHITE NEIGHBORHOODS!
Of course..PPD-22 the only bullsh*t is what is coming out of your mouth..I mean come on…What kind of police station would say “Uh there are always 2 sides to a video”…Really what the hell does that mean!!!
Ok we have heard these stories many times before. It was probably a cover up but then again we need to look at both sides of the story. White verses black, cop verses citizen innocence versesguilt. The cops were wrong in this case. They had no right even if the guy did look like someone it did not take 15 armed police to fight against 3 unarmed boys. Come on now. However where what were the people whp were videotaping at why didn’t they try to help. Society needs to step up from all directions because this is horrible and it could have been much worse. My prayers go out to the victims and there families stay blessed black men.
PPD-22 your An A$$-hole for your comments too
Even if the guys in the car were guilty… all crimes need to go through the judicial process, not just “hey these black guys look alike” so lets kick their a**. Being a cop is like being in a gang. The police have been gangbanging for eternity. And for crybaby- it doesnt matter if they were hurt or not. They were pulled from a car and beaten. That is wrong. If the same was done to you, I’m sure you’d be wondering when Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson was gonna have your back too. “Why cant we all just get along?”
CRYBABYSCRY - are you f-ing serious it dosent matter if no one wasnt seriously hurt the beating was WRONG.
LET ME GUESS YOU ARE WHITE. AND WHITE MAKES YOU RIGHT HUH.
IF THE COPS WERE BLACK AND THE THREE VICTIMS WERE ALL WHITE WOULD YOU FEEL THE SAME WAY. HELL NO YOU WOULD WANT JUSTICE JUST LIKE WE WANT JUSTICE. YOU ARE TALKING OUT YOUR A$$ RIGHT NOW YOU AND PPD-22
CRYBABYSCRY - are you f-ing serious it dosent matter if no one wasnt seriously hurt the beating was WRONG.

YEAP! AND YALL KNOW THAT IS NOT THE FIRST TIME SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAS HAPPENED.
YEAP! AND YALL KNOW THAT IS NOT THE FIRST TIME SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAS HAPPENED.
WOW….
It’s no worse than the beating Justin Barker took.
There is definitely a cover up happening in Philly. It is sad that we can’t trust the people who were hired to serve and protect.
WE KNOW WHATS GOING ON IN OUR COUNTRY. THEY NEVER LOVED NOR WILL THEY…
IT’S TIME FOR BLACK MEN TO RISE TOGETHER & STICK TOGETHER….IF NOT THINGS LIKE THIS WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN!
B.E.T. censorship is in full force now that the company is owned by Viacom,atleast when Bob. Johnson was the owner there was never this much leaving post out.What are you afraid of ?
CRYBABYSCY
Justin Barker got off lite.had he hung a noose on a tree infont of me i would have MADE GOOG USE OF THE NOOSE and hung that racist punk.Barker was not that badly beaten,he attended a party that same night.There are some folk that always try too make lite of a serious issue like police mis-conduct and there are whites that always want too twist stuff around.Whatever Blacks do will only pale in comparison too what whites have done and still do to Blacks,there is a long lecacy to the wrong whites have done to Blacks.
Typo: should have read “GOOD USE OF THE NOOSE”
WHY BET WONT POST MY COMMENT… ITS A SINCERE ONE AND NOT A LIE.
PLEASE POST MY COMMENT BET. WHATS WRONG WITH WHAT IM SAYING???
Hidden Racism is alive and well in America (ya know,land of the free, home of the brave, where you’re innocent until PROVEN GUILTY!!). When police officers are equipped with sidearms and billy clubs, why do you need (15) to beat down (3) young Blacks, who incedently, allegedly had no weapons found in their possesion. It’s amazing how wonderful videos reveal the truth where people have a tendancy to try to hide the truth. We believe that justice will be served and God Shall reveal the truth of this matter. Who’s report shall you believe!!
I think crybabyscry is just on this site to make us laugh at his or her idiotic comments. With a name like crybaby he would probably have been in tears if that was him being dragged out of the vehicle by the cops! MMMhh! who gave you that name and why?
word!!!!
word!
Sam T./Detroit,MI
The Brothers had no weapons in their possesion what so ever.
you don’t have to just be black to be screwed with by the Philly PD or the wonderful court system there. Just have the same birthday as someone else and they’ll lock your A** up in CFCF and fine the crap out of you. Guess they need their party funds. The lawyers out there suck too.
great BET
PPD-22 u suck! U need yo A** whooped 4 sayin some shyte like that!
Yes, I think it’s a cover up.. just like the Sean bell case. These three innocent black young men driving minding their own business gets pulled over and almost beaten too death.If wasn’t for the video taped footage.No one would off believed their story.. The police always find a way to cover-up police brutality.. This has got to stop!!!!
YES! Had it been a regular black citizen murdered the cop would have been somewhere/anywhere sitting on their hands. If anyone thinks racial profiling and racism is a thing of the past they have another think coming or their head is literally buried in the sand. Even if that had been the cop killer he was not to be treated in that type manner. What did the other two men do beside breathe and be black?
I see taht we all feel the same about what has happens to our people time and time again. When is enough ever enough for US. LOVE AND PEACE
YES!!! YES!!!! YES!!!!!
$$$$$$$$$$$$$ that is all I can say!!!!
Yes they always do. They are suppose to protect us, but when you see a police officer you are scared to death that they may beat the hell out of you or kill you and nothing is going to be done about it. Now that sad.
THATS ASHAME WHAT THOSE POLICE DID, THE NEED TO GO TO JAIL FOR LIFE. I DONOT KNOW WHATS WRONG WITH THESE WHITE COPS I BELEIVE SOME OF THEM ARE KKK. I RECENTLY MOVE FROM DETROIT TO CALFORNIA I ATTENDED LONGBEACH CITY COLLEGE I WAS RIDING MY BICYCLE HOME TWO WHITE COPS PULLED IN FRONT OF ME SAID CAN I TALK TO YOU I SAID YES THEY JUST JUMP OUT THE CAR AND SAID GET AGAINST THE PUT YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR HEAD I ASKED THE OFFICERS WHAT DID I DO THEY WOULD NOT SAY NOTHING SO ONE OF THE COPS SAID YOU BETTER STOP TALKING SMART OR YOU GOING TO JAIL I SAID YOU GOING TO TAKE ME TO JAIL BECAUSE I ASKED WHAT DID I DO. SO TWO MALE COPS FILLING MY PRIVACY I SAID YOU NOT SUPPOSED TO BE TOUCHING LIKE THAT THE OFFICERS SAID WE DOOT HAVE ENOUGH WOMEN COPS ON THE FORCE TO COME AND CHECK YOU. AM NOT A FELON NEVER BEEN TO JAIL. SO THEY GAVE ME A TICKET ON MY BICYLE FOR NOT HAVING A BIKE LICENSE,HEADPHONES THAT WAS NOT ON,BELL. I WENT TO THE POLICE STATION TO MAKE A REPORT THEY WOULD NOT LET ME MAKE A POLICE REPORT I CALL INTERNAL AFFAIRS ONLY THING THEY SAID WE WILL CALL OVER THERE AND TELL THEM THEY NEED TO GIVE OFFICERS BETTER TRAINING I THINK THAT WAS A COVER UP BECAUSE THEY WOULDNOT LET ME FILE A COMPLAINT I FILL THEY WAS RACIAL PROFILING ME. I GOT A LETTER AND THE MAIL THAT TICKET WAS $417.00 DOLLARS JUST BECAUSE I DIDNOT HAVE A BELL,BIKE LICENSE,HEADPHONES AND LONGBEACH POLICE ONLY TARGET BLACK PEOPLE, BECAUSE EVERY WHITE PERSON I TALK TO THAT BEEN LIVING IN LONGBEACH SAY THEY NEVER HEARD OF ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE, EVEN SOME WHITE PEOPLE SAID THEY WAS RACIAL PROFILING ME. LONGBEACH POLICE IS RACIST THOSE RULES ON APPLY TO BLACK PEOPLE I SEE WHITES WITHOUT THOSE REQUIREMENTS AND THEY DONOT GET A TICKET. WHATS SO SAD THEY WOULDNOT LET ME MAKE A POLICE REPORT BECAUSE THEY COVER UP FOR THE OFFICERS,SO ITS HAPPENING EVERYWHERE. POLICE CORRUPTION IS IN THE BIBLE AND THE BIBLE DONOT LIE. READ REVELATION AND IT WILL TELL YOU ALL ABOUT POLICE CORRUPTION IT IS REAL VERY REAL AND ALL BAD COPS WILL PAY WHEN JUDGEMENT DAY COME AND ITS COMING SOON. THEY WILL PAY MORE THEN A LAWSUIT THEY HAVE TO ANSWER TO GOD OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.
jfffnn - Justin Barker did not hang any scary nooses. Get your facts straight.
yeah i dont get it. cops really are their own gang. but they got the govt to bail em out. f-k em all… everywhere. hope those cops get murked out like their buddy
This kind of abuse of Blacks will continue until Blacks (like those with military training) form some kind of a squad that will serve to protect the Black community in instances like this one. If cops and others who imfringe upon us with brutality knew that someone would, more than likely, catch up with them and kick their as— in retaliation than they might think about it first. Any Black cop who participated in this really needs to search his soul and ask himself who is he trying to impress. Those white cops don’t care about your Black butt either.
Man this is flat out rediculous
why won’t you show my post
why won’t BET post My comment
I am convinced that they will sweep this under the rug like everything else. Philly is hot right now and the cops are frustrated, they need to be given what they need to protect us instead of taking thier frustration out on us.
crybabyscry. YOU’RE AN IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!
Of course it’s a cover-up.Cops have all the right so they say it’s okay for them to shot beat and kill someone but let one of us go-out there and do what they do ,We will be locked-down so fast our heads will spin,Look what happpen in NY……
THAT QUESTION ABOUT THEM COVERING UP IS FOR THE F BIRD’S. WE ALL KNOW THAT THE PPD IS GOING TO COVER THEIR BEHIND JUST LIKE ANY OTHER PD!!!! CAN’T TRUST THE PRESIDENT, MAYOR, GOVENOR, POLICE, EVEN THE MILLITARY…WHO ELSE CAN WE TURN TO BESIDES GOD????
ALL OF THESE SUN DODGERS DAYS ARE NUMBERED THE SUN IS HOT AND SO IS HELL
Well, PPD……BET isnt owned by black anymore, so maybe the story is CORRECT!!!!
jenifer - Since you are incapable of refuting any of my statements in constructive point-counterpoint debate you resort to name calling. How typical.
The police are pawns in this global game being played by politicians.They’re being trained differently (zero tolerance) these days and its a shame.Revenue gatherers.Its been going on since the dark ages and all us people seem to be able to do is moan.Thousands of years of moaning.They wont listen,and never will.If we all abided by the law would they leave us alone…???
It probably is being covered up….if those 3 guys had been US soldiers, black, and were over in Iraq and beat up by 15 other soldiers they would have been court martialed (sp) and sentenced to some time in jail. Cops do not have that type of honor in their ranks, they act like a thug unit let loose on the streets of america as if they are alien enemies of the people.
I will be so happy when GOD destroys this wicked system we are living in.
ALL ACROSS THE NATION…NOT ONLY IN CITIES LIKE PHILLY, L.A., AND NYC…OFFICERS ABUSE THERE AUTHORITY…(FACT) NOT ALL P.O.’S ARE CROOKED AND CRUEL BUT WITH THOSE OFFICERS IN THE RODNEY KING BEATING, AMADO DIALLO SHOOTING, SEAN BELL SHOOTING, AND NOW THIS…I REALIZED ONE THING…OFFICERS CARRY THE “I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT BADGE” AND REALLY GET AWAY WITH “MURDER” (FACT)…MY PRAYERS GO OUT TO THE VICTIMS AND THEIR FAMILIES…BLACK PEOPLE ITS TIME TO WAKE UP, THEY’RE KILLING US OUT HERE AND WE ARE HELPING THEM DO IT…TIME TO SHARPEN UP BROTHERS AND SISTERS!!!
The cops are the biggest gangs around and none of the officers will ever see the inside of a jail cell as a defendent or after a conviction. The court system backs them no matter what the facts of the situation are. Black people need to understand once and for all that in America and through out the world we are not seen as human beings and subsequently are treated accordingly. If one does not respect a thing then one does not care how it’s treated or dealt with.
What’s going to start happing is black folks have to take a stand this is getting out of hand.
With this kind of display it now should not be hard to belleve any complaint of “…was beaten to death by police officers who say suspect resisted arrest.”
B<E<T GET REAL YOU DO KNOW !!!why you ask because you thinking we will forget about this,hoping it will go away!!!I notice there is no air play on any tv NEWS.WHY IS THAT ???LET SAY THERE WERE 15 BLACK COPS BEATING UP 3 WHITE MENS,I wonder if you would see it on tv NEWS ,THEY WILL BE giving air play on the HOUR ON THE HOUR DAY BY DAY !!!SO FOR YOU TO ask IS THERE A coverup BE REAL.I KNOW WHY YOU ASK US BLACK PEOPLE ABOUT THIS !!!!!!!!!!
GOD C’S ALL
IT’S JUST A SHAME THAT WE ARE LIVING IN A WORLD WERE POLICE CAN JUST DO WHATEVER THEY WANT AND NOTHING IS SAID WHY?
LORD PLEASE HELP US
PLEASE
I went to my job there are about 500 WHITE PEOPLE THAT WORK THERE.NO ONE HEARD A THING ABOUT 15 cops beating up on any BLACK MENS .I SAID TO MY SELF WHY IS THAT .COVERUP THIS THING BETTER THEN THAT!!!!!
I’m lost for words. How can people be so wicked?
I’m not violent and I do consider myself a peacemaker but when I see beating like that from cops, all I can do is think about George Jackson but immediately I go back to thinking rational because I know we must allow God to handle the situation.
ok dont print it i know what up
It’s a shame to know that murder is sooooo justifiable when it comes from yhe hands of the police. The same thing happened in New York, now it seems as though the police can just go around killing people. It’s time for a serious change. Murder is murder.
And you wonder why cops are getting killed in the line of duty? How long do you think we are going to sit back and deny ourselves protection from the law? You wont protect us…..WE WILL! There will be alot more cops being killed in the line of duty for this very reason…..We have young people who simply don’t give a f**& about police. And this is only one reason why! Every cop involved should be terminated from the force…It is shameful that we can’t bring these cops to justice for ourselves….An old fashioned a&& whoopin!
DEFINATLY!~THERE IS NO WAY AROUND THAT ONE!
BET wont post my comment…dang!
But they posted that one up there 230;geez …g uess I will try again…
you know we are tired of these cops and them getting away with this stuff. we all need to take a stand cause to be honest with you if it happens to them or their family they would not like it. so what goes around comes around
So why is it that we dont have a police force for the police force??? If that had been 3 White guys and 15 Black officers..they would all be in jail..NOT JUST ON LEAVE FROM WORK!!!
Others on here talkn bout nooses and such and I cant even post an honest opinion on what happened!! Das sad BET….
On April 27 in Cleveland, Charles Gooden Jr. was beaten to death by fifteen men. This gets no attention from BET or the black community because Charles was a black man beaten to death by other black men. BET is more worried about some thugs getting roughed up by the police because they can race bait with that story. Typical, sad and pathetic.
Ok well they posted it…so im happy now…my 2 cents has been heard!
BET 5-0 getting outta control i think its time they get put in they place on da real. Dey fuk wit people all day err day for no reason and it aint getting no betta either.Hope all em get it off top!
N aint neva felt this deeply about nothing;
dey betta be lucky it aint like it use to be
I n I its full time police start feeling how innocent, law abiding citizens feel when they do us such harm. They are no better than slave masters, they do us what they want adn then laugh and smile in our faces then the system turns around and grant them even more power by saying they acted appropriately, or they were doing their jobs. what if we were to organsize and do soem of what they do, shyyt, we can be hired to take matters in our own hands, after all they supply the streets with whatever. it aint hard to deal with them and let them feel the pain and suffering our family feels. Day upon day they prey on us and pay one out of 1,000 families a couple thousand dollars and they back at it again. ITS ALWAYS A COVER UP, SO WHEN THE TABLES START TURNING FEEL NO REMORSE FOR NONE OF THEM. CUZ TRUST I ITS ONLY SO MUCH WE CAN TAKE.
Where will it all end I wonder? When and who will speak up for these crimes aganist our people God only knows.Stay strong and pray for a better day.
So sad to see not much has changed from the 50’s and 60’s. Our King died so that we would be free and have life more abundently.Please keep those young black men in prayer .All our black men need the prayers of their women so ladies do your thing and let our God know we love our men and we need his help protecting them.
what is the problem?don’t you know that all black people look the same,and even if it the wrong black men they must have done something anyway.this mentality has run our police dept for far to long an until we stop putting up with it ,it going to contiune,please pray and thatk the lord that they were not shot 50 times,like the young men in new york
The Rev. Al Sharpton was right on the money.
PPD is just doing what he knows best LIE and COVER UP……… He might be one of the 15 who’s knows 230;R 30;̷ 0;. As long as they don’t appoint a New York Judge they will get justice….
he cant cover it up caues it is on video
yep it’s a cover up sorry PPD you are no different than the KKK and i think it’s worse than the Rodney King incident because police are to protect and serve and know better than to treat people like that PPD aren’t you to carry yourself with some type of ethics what are they teaching in the police academy how to beat and kills minorities somebody(PPD) needs some psychological testing but instead were dealing with a bunch of gangstas with badges and their paid to get away with these senseless crimes againsr humanity
they are just so wrong it’s never going to in, because they act like blacks is the worst people on earth, and it’s them, them, the cop are so evil.
This for the PHILLY COP; you will never turn on your “OWN” is that not the police code of honor? well, pls lets hear what you believe the “footage looked like, and why my son’s eye socket was damaged by the NYPD (UNARMED YOUNG MAN). So yes, pls give all the bloggers “YOUR TAKE ON THIS.
B.E.T. owes bloogers a reason why they (b.e.t.) keeps censoring post.
even if they guy was guilty
do you really think it was needed for all these people to beat up those guys
yet they spend no energy on locating obama
Is Obama lost?
YES
REV. AL SHARPTON(ONE OF OUR GREAT & EFFECTIVE LEADERS) WAS CORRECT, WHEN HE COMPARED THE BEATING OF 3 BLACK MEN BY RACIST PHILADELPHIA POLICE OFFICERS, BECAUSE OF DWB(DRIVING WHILE BLACK!). WHETHER ITS NEW YORK CITY(JEW YORK CITY), LOS ANGELOS, CALIFORNIA, CINCINATTI,OHIO(REMEMBER RACIST POLICE BRUTALLY MUREDERED A BLACK WOMAN IN HER APARTMENT WHILE HOLDING HER BABY IN HER ARMS, POLICE ARE RACIST AGENTS WORKING TO UPHOLD THE STATUS QUO FOR RACIST AMERIKKKA, & THE ONLY SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM,IS FOR BLACK OR AFRICAN AMERICANS TO PICK UP ALL TYPES OF GUNS, & KILL ALL RACIST, BRUTAL, CORRUPT POLICE, ESPECIALLY UNCLE TOM HOUSE N#$#ER POLICE.
i think that the stor is crazy that 15 cops did that to them black people. i hope that get beter and not do what thay have done. and not to start no probloms with people or cops.
How come my comments do not post???
PPD- Ok so even if it was the cop killer in the car…EVEN he has RIGHTS…and he has a RIGHT to not be beaten by cops…so to justify this beating by saying they thought it was a cop killer and they guy looked like him is bull, cause even a cop killer has rights…or was that missed in POLICE academy
cover up/whateva you want to call it. the cops will never be punished. if so, not all of them and it won’t be too harsh. it’s so sad the world we live in, but for every one of those accounts like the one we are talking about, there is hope and every one doesn’t think like those cops. it’s just so sad that it’s tolerated. i’m sorry, but if someone i knew was picking on someone else b/c of their skin, i would say something, there should be 0 tolerance for mess like this now! especially in america!
I FEEL IT IS A COVER UP AND IT IS ALSO RACIAL. ” ALL BLACK PEOPLE LOOK ALIKE” INSTEAD OF PROTECTING AND SERVING. IT’S GRAB AND BEAT! DUE TO THE FACT THE SUSPECT WAS ALREADY IN CUSTODY- THE POLICE SHOULD OF GOT THE MEMO!!!!! I FEEL THAT THIS WAS UNJUST AND THE POLICE INVOVLED SHOULD BE DEBADGED BECAUSE OF RETALILATION!!
Is Stevie Wonder blind? HELL TO THE YEAH THAT WAS RACILLY MOTIVATED. THAT WAS A MODERN DAY LYNCHING. SOMETHING HAS TO CHNGE I DON’T THINK I EVER SEEN A WHITE PERSON BEAT BY COPS LIKE THAT AND I AM 42 YEARS OLD. PLEASE VOTE FOR OBAMA WE NEED A CHANGE IN THIS FU–ED UP COUNTRY.
I think what motivates the police to come to work everyday and do a half a** job of protecting society is to belittle,and beat African Americans.It’s time for a change and as long as we do not unite and love one another as brother and sister this will continue to happen. I will leave you my brothers and sisters with this quote by Martin Luther King Jr. “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
crybabyscry !!! Don,t you have a hate site.If not you need to leave this one. To start one .Your statements Are worthles s… …& #8230;.
I POSTED MY COMMENTS EARLIER AND THEY WERE NOT POSTED. WATCH THIS GET POSTED : MAYBE THE PPD MADE A MISTAKE THEY ARE HERE TO SERVE AND PROTECT. BS BET AND ANYONE LISTENING WE HAVE GOT TO WATCHING OUR BROTHERS BACK AND FRONT BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE IS GOING TO DO IT.SOMETHING HAS TO CHANGE AND I HOPE OBAMA CN DO IT.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN CRY BABY OR WHATEVER? THATS WHY WE ARE BEING DOGGED AND TALKED ABOUT NOW. STAND WITH YOUR PEOPLE NOT AWAY IF YOU DON’T AGREE OR HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY SAY IT DON’T ACT HOW THEY WANT YOU TO.
It is time for the black cops all across this country to join the Bloods, the Crips, and Mara Salvatrucha for protection from the white cops.
Not necessarily a cover-up, but for some reason they think the story gave them the right to beat them up. Even if it was the man who shot the police officer, that does not give them the authority or right to beat the hell out of someone. Don’t over look that fact.
May if they pursued every murder with the enthusiasm they pursue cop killers the city would be much safer.
cali - Why do I have to leave this hate site? Please try to respond in coherent sentences.
I Think We Really Need To Open Our Eyes And See Whats Going On Around Us…. Racism Is Crazy… That Was Unecessary For that Many Cops To Do This To Three Men That Makes Me Think About The Shooting Of The Groom To Be In NY….. These Cops should Lose Their Jobs, Their Suppose To Protect, Not Harm.
BET I FORGIVE YOU FOR NOT TAKING A STAND AND LETTING PEOPLE HAVE THERE SAY ITS ALL ABOUT THEM DOLLAZ$$$
IS BLACK ENTERTAINMENT TV SELLING OUT BLACK PEOPLE ARE OUR WORDS FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS ON THE SUBJECT MATTER THAT U POST NO WORTHY OF BEING PUBLISHED WHTS THE REAL CAUSE I RAISED SOME VALID POINTS U NEED 2 TAKE A STAND
We as Black America have yet to see that the devil is setting us up. The devil comes in many forms but mainly in the form of other human beings. We are constantly being provoked into anger being manipulated and used as pawns in today’s society by others.One of the devils traps used today is RACISM. As it rears it’s ugliness everyday and everywhere.We as a people were sold into slavery and freed only on paper. But we as a people are feared because of our endurance,and perseverance.But the biggest FEAR of all to a Racist is the Mental Power of the Race it wants to Oppress.You see our MIND is the most Lethal Weapon we have.We as a people are fed up with the inequalities that are forced on us everyday.We have no more tolerance for the injustice that plagues our race as a whole.The jail sentence that never fits the crime,the inadequate health care,the laws that are being eradicated that once protected minorities,and the perpetuation of self hate and self destruction in our black communities.Wake up BLACK AMERICA!!! We have fallen into a trap of modern day slavery by the acceptance of stereotypes,and certain unbecoming behavior ,incarce ration,w elfare,p romiscui ty,and lack of education.
unbelievable. rejected again
Cover up you know thats how the so called system works!!!!!!!!!!
Are you seill wondering why (we ) call them Pigs?
take away the hoods & give them a badge. a different time yet the same thing !!!
no matter where it is Philly; New York; California; just to name a few. It seams like most (not all) are on a
power trip & the courts take care of their own. ” NOT GUILTY”…
THIS IS DEFINATELY RACIALLY MOTIVATE D… IT’ ;S 2008 AND THE BATTLE SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE…THIS IS VERY SAD. I GET SICK TO MY STOMACH EVERY TIME I HEAR OF THIS HAPPENING TO OUR BLACK PEOPLE- ESPECIALLY OUR BLACK MEN.
YES THIS IS A COVER UP COPS DO THIS ALL THE TIME EVERY DAY ALL DAY. KNOW ONE IS SAFE ANYMORE. WE NEED TO GO BACK TO MARCHING AND STAND OUR GROUND AND STICK TOGETHER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the only thing I can think of as being the reason why my post are not aloud here is because BET like most folks here are anti policetry ing to insight a cyber riot. I think those cops where wrong, but nobody wants to talk about the right that is done by most cops. Cop dies so what. Killer gets beat up, thats ashame. Let it be your spouse or child that gets hurt or killed by someone. Or let someone encounter you with a weapon. A half a second. Thats all the time you have to respond.
WHAT ALOT OF PEOPLE FAIL 2 REALIZE IS POLICE ARE A FRATERNITY.1 IF THE LARGEST AND MOST POWERFUL IN THE WORLD.THOSE POLICE WERE WRONG. THEY DID NOT FOLLOW PROPER POLICE PROCEDURE.HAD THOSE YOUNG MEN BEEN INVOLVED IN A SHOOTING,OR IF 1 HAD BEEN THE COP KILLER,THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A HIGH SPEED CHASE,INNOCENT PEOPLE KILLED,MORE DEAD COPS,3 DEAD SUSPECTS, OR ALL OF THE ABOVE.THOSE COPS WERE STUPID 2 JUST RUN UP TO A CAR WITH A SO CALLED ARMED SUSPECT(S) WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF 1 OF THEM NOT BEING AFRAID 2 FIRE ON POLICE.THE SUSPECTS STOPPED ON POLICE ORDER AND SHOWED NO RESISTANCE OR THREAT TO POLICE.ON COMMAND 1 SUSPECT AT A TIME,OUT OF THE CAR WITH SHOW OF HANDS,INTERLOCK FINGERS ON TOP OFHEAD WITH LEGS APART,TAKEN INTO CUSTODY, NEXT SUSPECT.POLICE HAVE A JOB 2 DO AND IF POLICE ARE NOT AROUND 2 PROTECT US,WE JUSTIFY ON OUR OWN.THEN THE GOVERNMENT WANTS 2 PUT US IN JAIL CUZ THE POLICE COULDNT PROTECT US.BUT YOU KNOW WHAT, THEY WILL PROTECT THEIR OWN. EVEN IF THEY HAVE TO LIE OR KILL.THEY R THE POLICE.!
