    I think this is horrible.

    Yes the kid was breaking the law.

    Did he deserve the beating they are describing?

    No.

    It looks like finally HPD is going to actually have to face the music.

    The business owner that turned in this tape should be applauded for his brave actions.

    LOL I clicked the link and somehow thought it said Quanell X suspends 8 officers. I was like man - he gained some major pull.

    Those cops probably get off and the taxpayer is left with a big lawsuit.

    Win win for everyone.

    Don't burgle and you won't get beaten. It's a pretty simple concept.

    **** that opportunist w****, Quanell X. I'd love to see him do something about the bigger crime problem in Houston instead of jumping on the latest racial controversy.

    As for the kid, while a beating by the cops is absolutely uncalled for perhaps he'll quit breaking into houses and running when the cops tell him to stop.

    It would be nice to see Quanell X lecture the parents for not providing the proper discipline to their child so he would not be out committing crimes. Maybe he'll now think twice about burglarizing someone's place.

    ...and if we all take this attitude, the next thing you'll be saying is "don't jaywalk and you won't get beaten."

    The "next thing you know" vs. what we know (multitudes of theft). I prefer to live in reality, not lame liberal excuses for thievery.

    Look, the message here is that nobody is above the law. The kid shouldn't rob people and cops shouldn't beat up people. I hold the police to a higher standard because they have more power. Why is this such a difficult concept to understand?

    Is this a put on? Are you really ... really ... this much of an idiot? I can't help but think that you're satirizing the positions you claim to represent.
