    It is really horrifying. And VHS video recorders are the only reason the police were caught.

      There are countess stories like this one that never ended in riot’s. One that comes to mind is Kelly Thomas a mentally I’ll man, schizophrenic if I remember correctly. I remember Thomas cried out for his mother as they beat him to death.

      These atrocities sadly are commonplace here.
