I hope this is a Joke...and if it's not, then give me a damn break. You are correct in some of your statement. Me being a strait, white male that works, I am being unfairly treated everyday because of my skin
There are alot of hardworking people who get treated differently by law enforcement because of the color of their skin. You may be OK with that but I am not.
I guess I'm going to stir the pot a little with this but here we go. I respect Police. They do a job i wouldn't want to do. With that being said, Police deal with Thugs all day everyday and a huge percentage of them are African American. So before you come to the rescue of your black friends, remember, If they have any one to be mad at it's their own race. Because Blacks caused 100% of the problems for Blacks with LEO

There is a reason for every thing!!, act a fool and you get special attention. Color has nothing to do with it.
Plenty of white folks get the same treatment for being stupid. Obey commands and anyone will be just fine.

I do not disagree with you. But, I think in this case the person (regardless of color) was a clear threat. That situation could have turned out a lot worse than it did. Judging from the video (didn't see the before) it seemed if he was acting in a menacing way towards law enforcement. Obviously, something was going on as the police presence would not have been so heavy.
It's sad that we live in a society where people feel it's okay to act out like this regardless of the situation

He probably deserved it.
But many don't.
My little brother and I have been roughed up by police in Dade county for being Latino (Cubano) in white neighborhoods. Forget the fact that I am a major in the US Air Force (reserve). I am also Cubano and I am tired of explaining my presence in nice neighborhoods and restaurants. I don't like security following me around bass pro shops just because my skin is a little darker than yours.
There are many white males that are tired of being discriminated against due to their skin color. This has become PC America and not Lets be fair America. If you are more qualified you get the job..don't tell me their is a quota of jobs to be filled based solely on your skin color. If you are disrespectful to law enforcement regardless of race you deserve to be skull drug. Slowly but surely the minority is telling the majority what they will do. The takers keep taking and asking or demanding more and the workers keep working to provide for them. Trump has awakened a portion of America that is watching this take place. The riot etcetc that took place tonight at his rally in Chicago shows the divide in this country that Obama has made even worse. To see young college kids excited they shut down a rally and denied trump his right to speak shows where we are headed. Why is it you don't see republicans causing riots etc and shutting down hillary rallies???? Most are too busy working so dems can protest. If you don't see us at the biggest breaking point in our lives then you are blind. Time to unite or you will see full scale revolts.
Thank you for your service and fighting for all our god given rights.

Bottomline..right or wrong is that stereotypes are based on reality..while YOU may not be a trouble maker or thieve or whatever, it doesn't change the fact that the stereotype exists solely because it has been proven to be the case so many times. Blacks...small percentage of population but account for the majority of crime..yes I am going to look at all of them suspiciously at first...that's survival instinct..same with muslims.
Just like the white male is stereotyped as being a racist hateful rich dude. some are but not all, but we all get blasted by that stereotype at first. right or wrong, that is what it is.

I strongly disagree with this. If I'm not breaking the law and law enforcement is disrespectful to me, should I "skull drag" them? Hell no. A badge does not give them the right to be able to beat my a55 if I don't agree with them. I have the constitutional right to free speech, and I'll be damned if I'm going to give that up.

I agree with Three11...being disrespectful and being illegal are two totally different things.

That gentleman looked to be on something strong. The snippet of video you get of him walking towards them is probably not the beginning of the encounter. Based on the way he took that pepper spray he was numb to anything. I don't think you treat anybody any differently because of their race but he was a threat and they stopped the threat with non lethal force. They didn't beat him senseless they stoped the threat, took him to the ground cuffed him and moved him out of further harms way.
Honestly if I had been in my vehicle, home ect and was approached by that same man in that same manner I would have taken that as a threat to my safety or my families safety. That guy was whacked out and looking to hurt someone. That's not someone you want to provoke or let get a hand on you.

Which is worse, in regard to non-lethal methods used to stop me from no longer being a threat :
1) Being shot in one of my extremities from a Glock 40
OR
2) Having my face marinated with a fire extenguisher's-worth of grizzly-grade pepper spray?
I'm gonna go with option 1, Bob.
