Black Man Being Led by a Rope

[JimH52]

Its Texas....nuff said....

Still, t5he cops should have done something a little more 21st century, you think?

Call for transport or walk him on foot

Common sense

I have to agree.

The images it evokes are not good ones.

I can see if he is a dangerous felon

But the guy was picked up for trespassing

The fifth time? Was he cleaning the floors? vacuuming the carpet in hard-to-get-to-places? Was he setting the table for a family? Was he using Windex on the inside of the windows? Fixing the broken chair?
Criminally insane men who invade somebody's home may be found unaccountable for their actions, and I don't think he was there to benefit the owners of the property he invaded. And I don't think he was there to be a good samaritan, either. He has a rap sheet, and his family says he has a sick mind. And he's a serial perp. That is not one bit good.

Trespassing

I don’t care if he did it five times or a hundred. He has a mental disability. There is no reason to drag him through the streets behind a horse

The right wing racist love it, reminds them of the "Good Ole Days".

Republicans are silently celebrating

You're so funny. Acting like they draggin this XXXX Removed racial slur. around by his neck. He's walking down the street. Finally on public property. Maybe they're just training him to walk where he's allowed to.

 

[rightwinger]

Liberals always have to make it about race. Always trying to divide the country.

Yet that's what they accuse republicans of.

Yes...once again, Republicans demonstrate their racial intolerance

Sorry

I don’t reply to racist posts

 

[beautress]

Totally unnecessary

One of them should have got off their horse
and walked him to where they were going...
How far could the guy have gotten
had they not used the rope and the guy fled

They’re on fucking horses

Patrol car cops are protected from criminals by bullet-proof glass screens between themselves and the criminal in the back seat. You expect a cop to walk buddy style next to someone who's no different from those they have to protect themselves from in a police car?

No way!

I'm not sure if you're aware, but the police walk "buddy style" next to criminals thousands of times a day across the country. For some reason Galveston is the first instance where I've ever heard of police escorting somebody with a rope while riding a horse. That town is just fucking retarded.

You have no idea what it's like to be family of a cop who is putting his life on the line every time he steps out in a uniform on the job to deal with criminals and people who do insane things on a serial basis. No criminal is a cop's buddy, and home invaders are the very worst of the very worst criminals to look out for doing off the wall bazarro world crap that winds up with a cop dead or disabled for life. That town is not fucking anything. They have a procedure that works with no harm no foul. No, it doesn't look good, but you don't have a clue what that character has done. If he was apprehended 5 times, and the average criminal is apprehended only 2% of the time, do the math. There isn't an unlocked door in Gaveston Town that alleged mentally ill man doesn't know about. And bless the families of those two cops who had to deal and make the right call with that invader. They did the right thing and did not harm the man.

I know you have no substantive reply you can't just say that. You always make everything about race and then you lie about it when you do.

Kinda a sign of desperation by a losing party if you ask me.

Maybe they is looking for a tree for that Darkie?

We don't use that kind of language at USMB, JimH52. Please fix it.

 

[beautress]

The right wing racist love it, reminds them of the "Good Ole Days".

Not one scrap of evidence in this case shows racism, and I'm against racial slurs as appeared above, and people on the right fought a war with people on the left to give black people freedom, losing many sons, and so did the southerners who were defeated after 4 long years of bitter killing one another. Don't you ever tell me that the right is racist. We're the ones who liberated blacks from slavery and made certain they could vote and hold public office. A Republican President called in the National Guard to let the first black kid safely in an all-white school in Little Rock Arkansas in 1954. I saw it on tv, but was a little young, although I recall asking my mother why would they have to have so many police around just to let one little girl get a good education since she was a gifted and intelligent kid who deserved the best from her earlier hard work doing homework in a school that couldn't keep up with her. And the Democrats stood there, shaking their fists and screaming epithets and inanities at her like crazy people.

I'd have to decline, airplanemechanic. I'm not good with the workings of computer software, which is practicallly required for our dear moderators here, and they help anyone whether they're left or right in their politics. The thread they have in common is that they are great Americans to be certain all is right and acceptable here. My brother was the best of good airplanemechanics in the Navy and after 20 years, he retired. At his funeral, they listed all his accomplishments, and people had tears in their eyes when his Admiral stopped speaking about his skill and insistence on safety without letting a plane out that was unfit to fly.

Leading a non violent, mentally unstable person through the street dragged by a horse does not represent Galveston very well

Stupid, callous thing to do

Do you know how fucking idiotic your reply is?

What is acting as an equivalent to bulletproof glass?
The horses ass

If the officer is holding the rope
and the guy makes a break for it,
he’d likely cause the officer to tumble off the horse
or cause the horse distress which would be worse

If the guy wanted he could kick either of the horses
Don’t you think they considered that

They would have not transported him as they did
had they actually considered him to present a risk

This is a man with mental health issues
they have dealt with numerous times for the same issue
Trespassing

The day that picture was taken he was being arrested
because he refused to leave the Merrill Lynch building

No it wasn't. There wasn't a neon note attached to Mr. Mentally Unstable saying to handle with kid gloves. He got the regular treatment. There was absolutely no harm, no foul, and the cuffed man was not being goaded nor dragged, because he knew he did something bad, and was hoping not to get into more trouble. His family's claims of his being mentally ill didn't provide him with a home in his illness, nor did they contact city or county services to see to it he did not get into trouble, since they could not handle him and keep him from tresspassing and invading other people's property without permission.

The cops look like a couple of assholes
The guy was a non violent offender

Being mentally unstable he could have freaked out and been injured by the horses
He could have freaked out and injured the officers or their animals

Galveston police admitted it was a stupid thing to do
I agree

Fine. Now, give every criminal who has ever been apprehended invading someone else's privacy and property a mental evaluation. They are then to be instructed to wear a bracelet with the medications they are taking and the illness that may find them doing inappropriate things in inappropriate places and their residence is to be placed underneath their names so that they may be taken home in a limousine, hired by the city of Galveston to kid-glove people with such trials.

YES...IT MOST CERTAINLY WAS!

We are not on the fucking set of Gunsmoke!

He didn’t need a neon note...
they are already familiar with him

I don’t give a shit if he wasn’t being goaded or dragged
THAT IS INEXCUSABLE...bottom line, end of story, case closed

He knew he did something bad...hanging out in a building
Sorry a grubby, black man with mental health issues
was an eyesore the wealthy elite would rather ignore

There is something wrong with you
