I think the guy got what he deserved. If he was so innocent he would not have continued to lead police on a high speed chase endangering other motorists, the police, and especially at least 3 school buses of children. Even after he was finally apprehended he continued to keep kicking and moving around as if he foolishly thought he would get away. I think he was pretty dumb and could have gotten himself killed.

CHUCK) THATS REALLY SAD FOR YOU TO EVEN HE GOT WHAT HE DESERVED WHEN WHILE HE WAS LYING ON THE GROUND BEING KICKED AND PUNCHED HE NEVER EVEN GOT UP IMAGINE IF THAT WAS YOUR SON AND THAT WAS FOUR BLACK OFFICERS BEATING HIM.IN YOUR HEART WOULD YOU FEEL THE SAME WAY? OF COURSE NOT IT WOULD BE SO SO SO BAD BUT IN THIS EVENT HE GOT WHAT HE DESERVED. VICKY YOU CAN COUNT ON ONE HAND HOW MANY WHITE PEOPLE ARE BEATEN BY FOUR OR FIVE BLACK OFFICERS ARE THERE NOT ANY WHITE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT DESERVE IT? NOBODY DESERVES TO BE BEATEN LIKE THAT BLACK OR WHITE.

why are you feeling bad for the criminal...black or white...who cares....what if the guy had a gun or knife in his jacket...and the police officers got hurt....
the guy was resisting arrest. They were trying to put the handcuffs on and he wouldnt let him. I am a police officer's wife and would rather see my husband come home safe at night then baby this criminal who is trying to hurt our officers. Get real chuck!!! Secondly, that guy would have received the same treatment if he was white. Why is it always racial.

Amanda I am with you, people need to stop boo hooing about these Criminals. I am not gonna say they deserve what they get but for crying out load.
are these people leaving there families daily to put there live on the line to protect thosuands of people no.
I am not married to a cop, But I know what is like to sit home praying that my Husband come home to me safe and sound. all my friends are cops. there was a time I hated cops, So I made sure I did not break the law because I did what I could to prevent a confrontation with them.
But now a day doesn't go by I don't talk to one.

For those of you feeling sorry for this guy that got beat up For one) there was a black cop hitting the man the same as the whit cops.
and two) do you feel nothing for the wives or family of the three officers who sat at home and watched that play out on tv and watch there husbands get injured by these guys, then have to rush to the hospital, hoping he will come right home with you, Hopeing it looked worse on tv than it really was and that they were only scratched.

How would you be looking at the situation if what ever it was that crimanial did to cause that chase,( and he caused the chase not the cops) did it to you or your loved one, and put fear in them, tell me you would not want to walk up and knock that guy around a few times yourself.
and three) think about this these cops arrest the same people day after day, for the same things, and they keep getting let back out on the streets to walk next to your child, your mother, he could be looking in your windows wondering if anyone was home right now.
Now tell me that is not stress, if the Judges would stop letting the people loose, the cops would not reach the boiling to hit on them when they themselves, are being hit, kicked, spit on, bit, shot, Stabbed.
think about it!!
Don't blame the cops, Blame the criminals they put themselves in that position themselves.

Amanda how is your Husband now. Have any word on the officer that were injured are they ok.
My husband is a Volunteer Fireman He is a Lt. and Chief arson Investigator.
So I know the lonley Feeling you feel.
I am so proud of my Husband he risks his life for people and Doesn't get or want any pay for it.
Our Men are Troopers. One thing thats saddends me in Regards to all the police officers is every So often on occasion, will still get people that and brag of the fireman regarding sept. 11. But I never see or here of any mention of the officers that also lost there lives in the towers.
So let me be the first to say to your husband
THANK YOU FOr ALL YOUR HUSBAND HAS DONE.
I live in Cahokia.
My First run in with an officer outside my friends and the fire Dpt. was with a state trooper. I was in a rush and did not put on my seat belt and got a ticket I almost gave the poor man a heart attack when I told him thank you!!.
He said that has nver happened to him, he said he felt bad bieng the one to give me my First Ticket, But I told him I Broke the law and he was just doing his job.
I I had been in an accident I could have been seriously injured. so you can say he saved me.
My Best Friend is Lying in ICU Right now from a Car accident, Sat Night. The seat belt Saved her, Since my Ticket, and Telling my all Friends they need to wear them or they will get caught like I did. My friend and her Family all had theres on. Her Husband Is my Husbands Capt.
They are were all injured but they are recovering well.

Heather, I'm not sure how they are doing. I know one of them broke their wrist and the other hurt his shoulder.

My husband and I now live in Illinois because of my career choice..but when he worked for Maplewood they really helped clean up that city. There are still scary parts of the city...but it is a nicer town now because of the police.

My husband hasn't called any of the officers because he doesn't want to bother them.. But yesterday we sent them cards. I just feel really bad for them. THey are getting threats on their lives. I told my husband that and he said he used to get threats on his life all of the time. I'm glad there are people out there that can do that sort of thing because I wouldnt be able to get cussed out and threatened day in and day out.

i live in maplewood and although i am only 15 i know what our cops are like. they are assholes, rude, and get bored so they mess w/ people. i think that that guy should have only been hit like once, but they went WAY to far. this makes me really embarassed being from maplewood and all. i think yes it may have been somewhat of a race issue, but there was a black fficer. those police guys should totally be fired. i don't feel safe around here anymore. i dont want maplewood police to come and try to save me, someone might end up dead!!

You would think the thrill of the exciting chase would excite the small penis'ed cops who wear uniforms and badges to compensate the little man by being the big man. I guess putting on the uniform is your right to beat people up.....oh yah...one thing though....you have to have a small PENIS in order to get the job as a cop. NO BIG PENIS"S NEED APPLY AS YOU ARE ALREADY HAPPY AND HAVE NO NEED TO BEAT PEOPLE UP.

Oh yeah the male cops also treat female cops the same way they do criminals. I have seen it first hand. Male cops demean female cops and dont like the woman in their so called manly world jobs. Im not sure if I mentioned this but, *psst*, COME HERE....I have a secret to tell ya. All male cops have SMALL PENIS's. THey are angry angry little wee men.

You're an idiot. Lets not make a generalization for all cops. Any man's penis would look small in your gigantic hole.

I also live in Maplewood, and the police here are great. I have never had a problem with them and they have always been very helpful. How dare you say that you are embarrassed to live in Maplewood.

Sarah, That is so wrong for a child to think that way let alone, onyone else.
Maplewood would be a lot a more scarey Place if there were no Cops. Because of your age I would Go into Detail, of what your Life would be like, without Cops.
there will be a Day, when you will need them and THEY WILL BE THERE. You should always be Proud of who you are, and were you Come from.
Cops Don't Make the City they Just protect it. it is the people who live there who make the City what is its. so Do good, Get Good grades, Don't Brake the Law and Kep your Nieghbor hood Clean, and it will be a better place to Live

That's ridiculous. If it would have been a white person beaten by black cops, then the KKK would have been rallying up and down the streets and burning crosses all over the black cops yards and threatening their families.

That's ridiculous. If it would have beeb a white person beaten by black cops,they would have lost their jobs within the first five minutes after the incident. I am not in support of all of the racial issues being brought up either. I believe that they should look at this from a humanistic viewpoint, not racial.

maplewood cops r poo poo heads, and buttholes. they can go die. i would rather wait for a fenton cop to help me than them!!! stupidity reaks all over them. one nigt my friend and i were playing soccer in my street at 3am and got tired and sat on a police radar thing, jut our luck a cop comes, on i do not lke very much (like them all i dont like), so she walks us up and i told her we would be right back we were going to get my mom, the officer walks herself right on in (w/ no invite or warrant). we get my mom as i come back in to the living room my other friend was on the couch (we have a surroud sound sytem) and the officer heard some noise and started snooping around. she stated asking was there anyone else around, we said no. and she was like where i that noise coming from and we explained about the system. but what ever STUPIDIDTY!!!!!!!!!!
