"W" actor attacked by cops: Video at link

Image...
It all went down in Shreveport, LA in July. Both actors were arrested for allegedly interfering with an officer. The tape we obtained begins with a passive Brolin -- his arm around fellow-actor Jeffrey Wright -- when a cop pepper sprays him in the face. But it gets more brutal -- when Wright is laying on the ground and it appears a cop repeatedly tasers him.

Today Blair Berk, the lawyer for Brolin and Wright, convinced prosecutors to dismiss all charges against all seven defendants in March, provided they obey the law until then.

    US cops believe that they ARE the law..not that they sworn to uphold it

    This crap WILL stop...but only if the people realize that our country has been stolen from us by extreme right wingers who despise the Constitution.

    Maybe, Josh just needed a little "inspiration". I take it that the cops didn't like the film. They give it a big thumbs-down.......that is to say......a big thumb right down on the taser switch. I can't believe he didn't pull the "Goonies"-card. WTF, Josh? Watch the video: There's nothing more threatening to an officer of the law, especially a bike-cop, than two grown men in a loving embrace.

    I'm sorry ya'll. I had to.

    These cops are doing nothing wrong.

    This IS American "justice".

    Americans have allowed this and will continue to allow this to happen.

    If you don't like it do something about it, but we both know that you hate it but still will NOT do a damb thing.

    Guess what? Everyone knows Americans are too lazy, dumb and sheepish to stand up for themselves at a collective level.

    Daily your police abuse their power. And daily you tolerate it.

    What is worse, often these corrupt cops are given commendations for doing good work even when they break into the wrong civilians house and brutalize innocent people.

    Why? Because Americans have become weak, scared and lazy.

    If you want it to stop you will have to fight for it to stop. But you will not.

    I will bet any amount that these cops are recognized for doing a good job and not ever reprimanded.

    It's the same story every time.

    Your cops are WAY out of control. You all know it and you all do nothing.

    Stop publishing these stories. It's a waste of time and just makes americans look like idiots.

    Cops in Shreveport get away with abusing their power all the time. Does anyone remember the video of a cop beating a woman in police custody last year. He turned off the camera and when it came back on she was lying in a pool of blood. He said she did it to herself and he was never charged with anything.

    It is a shame I didn't realize the true benefits becoming an officer really offered. They have so much freedom and have taken so much of mine!

    This is what happens when we as a people decide that freedom doesn't mean civil and human rights but consumer freedom.

    Congratulations. You all got what you asked for.

    I once had a most wanted poster on the wall in county police offices after I followed a cop for two blocks with an old beat up dodge pick up truck.
    I learned the hard way not to get out of the car when a cop stops you, because this cop pointed a gun at me, you bet I but my hand on the top of the car, this guy was scared just seeing me getting out the car. I did think I was that scary looking, now I know. I hope not all cop are chickens. some a very good intimidators. The GESTAPO (Homeland Security) was good at that too especial when no gun was pointed at them.
