The police involved have been fired. Have they also been arrested?

ML, for some reason I can't see that video. You quoted the officer is saying 'Get up off the floor...'. Did he really say that, because to me, only British people refer to any ground outside of a building as 'the floor'? '

I hope [or maybe not as it pretty horrific to see] that you may have been able to see the video now, it was widely available. And all you can do is offer a confusion over semantics?
How strange indeed.

He was correct though Lisa and I hope I have cleared that up, people concentrate on strange things.

It was just an observation Andy. There is a photo of him with a cap on his head quoting a racist comment.

At least two of these *** should be going to jail.


andy's post to tigger was a typical 'so rule' post.

This type of horrific incident unfortunately appears to be on the rise in the States. There is the case of that jogger being shot because he was black, and that woman going hysterical in Central Park because an "African-American" bird-watcher asked he to leash her dog, and many other similar instances many of them sadly ending in the death of the black person. As a Canadian, I was asking ML if the cop used the word "floor" instead of "ground" simply because I've noticed that British people tend to do that, and I was surprised that an American cop would have done so.

You were quite right to pick me up, sorry for being lazy and translating it in my mind.
