    And the DOJ when you need them. We should just remove the police and emergency responders from the ghetto and let the animals fend for themselves.

    Hostile Crowd

    I think the Seattle cops are too agressive on the whole. But these guys who were ripping off their shirts, challenging the cops and keeping the medics from helping the injured person should be beaten within an inch of their lives...if not a centimeter. Then toss them in jail for 7 or 8 years to think about it. And I am a bleeding heart liberal, in most cases.

    Where's Rev Sharpton or Jesse Jackson or James Bible or Eric Holder or PMSNBC? Again, the double standard of a certian community. Only when it suits their pathetic "chip on the shoulder" agenda. Must not of been a "White Mexican" involved....Friggin RACIST HYPOCRITES!!! Shame on all of you.

    The Seattle PD gets the required sensitivity training from the feds (which will consist of listening to Cyndi Lauper's "True Colors" and PC Videos) then problems like this will be a thing of the past.

    All of those that prevented treatment which resulted in a death are partially responsible for that person's death. As such, they should be arrested and prosecuted as accessories to the assault. They say the police are too agressive, yet they won't let them help....
