    I'm surprised no one has posted this. D&D material?

    http://www.click2houston.com/news/J...rial/-/1735978/13413182/-/xrxapf/-/index.html

    I watched the interview with Quannel X live, where he said any community response is appropriate, and the question he was answering was about a possible violent reaction. I wonder how much influence, if any, his comments will have?

    As someone who lived through the LA Riots in 1992, I'm confident Houstonians will not react in the same manner.

    Not familiar with the case. Can someone post details? Too lazy to google.

    Yes. This is definitely D&D stuff. Also could be in the GARM. ;)
    :( Shouldn't he have said "Please, no violence"?

    Also, I don't think the Mayor should be making remarks about cases, either. She should just follow on what the jury found and that should be the end of it. Looking for votes, maybe?

    Basically a kid stole some stuff. The cops caught him and a bunch of them decided to rough him up. They didn't realize they were being recorded.

    I am really hoping you are right.

    The exact quote by QX on KPRC was - "I think the community has the right to voice their displeasure however they see fit...and whatever the community response is I think it's appropriate"


    - as a side note RMT, awesome to see you the other night. You looked great and that hottie on your arm wasn't bad either!

    How can anyone look at that video, and think that the cops actions were warranted? It doesnt matter than the kid stole anything prior to this. Its not the cop's job to hand out punishment. They are there to arrest and then the courts can decide punishment.

    Dayum excessive force. Just cuff the mofo while he was laying on his stomach. It could of been worst though, the young man could of died from a gunshot wound from the homeowner in the residence he broke into ensuing the chase.

    If the cops tell you stop, maybe you shouldn't keep running. They can't shoot you in the leg, so it stands to reason they may be a little frustrated when they catch up.

    Houstonians are too laid back and content to riot about anything.

    Sorry, QX. I know it would really help your reputation if we did and then you could look like the hero when you call for it to stop 3 days later....but it ain't gonna happen. Not in Houston.

    Well. . . .did you not see the kid was black
    and they were COPS!! that is all the justification they need

    They are COPS and you are not
    you have NO RIGHTS for them to respect unless they give them to you
    THEY GOT THE GUNS . . . and the 'authority' . . and you are less than a buig
    to them

    I get frustrated working the helpdesk
    Is it ok for me to direct you to format your harddrive?

    A fabulously craptastic analogy, RR.

    Will formatting your harddrive cause bodily injury or death?

    Thanks for playing!

    :rolleyes:
