-but the cops were over excessive,i can see 4/5 shots at MAX, cops were acting like NAZIS
-i agree with the earlier sentiment, i feel bad for the dog, it was jsut doing it's duty , only innocent thing in the video
-whoever was overseeing this standoff is a dumb fuck
-fuck the police
-fuck people who act like niggers/nazis

That was pretty stupid man. "Nigga" was a name that was forced upon a whole people. "Nazi" was a name that a group named THEMSELVES. even though i only have some black in me, i still gotta say that that shit just aint right man.

i agree, a whole race of people should not be generalized in such a manner. the word 'nigger' has it's roots in the words niggle and niggard which are adjectives to describe what that man in the video was basically acting like.
am i advocating using the word nigger as a loose name to give some one...no but am i saying that , if someone is acting like an -er to the fullest extent i.e. "ay cuz let that dog go i'll blast up on all y'all mutha fuckas" IMO it's just as offensive to call a woman a bitch, maybe even more so because people are more accepting to let that go in our culutre. BUT with that said if a woman is acting like a bitch, then there is no reason not to call her out as acting like one.
now if i jump on here and start talking about how i stole someone's identity, jack stereos and sell them at the swap meet....by all means call me a spic....cuz that's how i'd be acting.
thank you , the don has spoken

Why can't you just say asshole or douchebag?

the way he was acting those would be understatements
also, well at least when i'm saying it, an asshole/douchebag, is someone who is acting mean or ignoring someone else's feelings
so it is possible that i am acting like an asshole/douchebag 8)
but like i said, i'm not racist i just think that there's monkies in every race

Deandre Brunston
Los Angeles, August 2003
Cops Shoot Man and Dog-- Rush Dog to the Hospital
Deandre Brunston, whose nickname was Trey, was a 24 year old African-American. On Sunday, August 24, 2003, a gang of LA County Sheriffs shot him to death on the front stoop of a tiny apartment in a dirt-poor section of Los Angeles called Willowbrook.
Earlier this year, Trey enrolled in a drug treatment program. He went for a couple of weeks but he couldn't hang with it and soon dropped out. The Sheriffs claimed that Trey "had an outstanding arrest warrant for narcotics." Nicole said that if the Sheriffs had arrested Trey, he would have been referred back to the treatment program and not sent to prison.
On the day he was killed, Trey was unusually angry about something. Around 7 pm, he argued with both Nicole and his girlfriend Fonda. The conflict escalated and got physical. He punched Nicole who called the Sheriff to report the assault. Ninety minutes passed and the cops had not shown up. Nicole, eight months pregnant, started feeling sick. Nicole had forgotten about calling the cops by then and called the paramedics instead. When an ambulance arrived, so did the Sheriffs. The Sheriffs went to an apartment across the way where Trey's aunt lives. Nicole's daughter told the cops that he had gone over there after leaving Nicole's place. Trey must have seen the cops coming because he jumped out of an upstairs window and ran down the street. A grip of Sheriffs with their guns drawn were close behind.
Trey ran down a driveway toward some tiny apartments down the block. Latino immigrants stayed in all of these places. Trey stopped on the porch in front of one apartment and witnesses said they thought he tried to talk to the people inside. But they spoke Spanish and Trey spoke English. All the while, more and more Sheriffs kept showing up. A helicopter overhead ordered people in Spanish to go back into their homes. The cops said that Trey "barricaded himself on the porch of a nearby home" and "told the deputies that he had a gun and threatened to kill them." But the porch in front of the tiny apartment was barren. There was no railing, no furniture, no items of any kind that could be used in a desperate attempt to shield oneself from guns of the police. Trey was surrounded and completely exposed to the cops.
Meanwhile, a Sheriff interviewed Nicole at a nearby hospital. He asked Nicole if she knew someone named Deandre Brunston. He said that Deandre had two guns and they had already taken one away from him. Nicole told the cop that there was no way that her friend had a gun. She heard cops talking on the radio about a man on a porch. She told the cop again and again, "he has no gun." Then Nicole heard a voice on the radio say a "man was down." One cop had a dog. The cops used the dog to attack Trey and then shot Trey many, many times. In this hail of police bullets, the cops also shot their own dog. The front of tiny apartment was left pockmarked with bullet holes.
Neighbors saw the cops dragging Trey down the dirt driveway. One man offered to help the cops carry him, but they told everyone to get back in the house. All of this has weighed heavily on neighbors who speak fearfully about what they had seen. Then the Sheriffs added further outrage to this cruel act of police brutality: a medivac helicopter landed nearby and the Sheriffs carried the dog to the helicopter and rushed it to a veterinarian hospital. They left Trey to lie in the dirt by that tiny apartment until 5 am the next day.
