Whatever dude... you're so full of shit it isn't even funny... either that or you are fucking insane. Philly almost had a 1:1 ratio of murders to days of the year last year, to act like you would just walk around anywhere as a "skinny ass white dude" is either bullshit or suicidal.

It's funny you don't know the first thing about the street being as you claim you live in Philly. Where do you live? Rittenhouse? Society Hill? The burbs? It's easy to pick out the people who don't belong in a certain area, and it's even easier to tell when said person is scared for their life. You seem like the type who is scared by anyone who's not white and wearing a polo and khakis, so I can see why you wouldn't have a better understanding of our city.

By the way you never answered the question of do you live in the suburbs?

Right... several patrol cars, at least 12 cops... that's typical of a "traffic stop."

Well you're partly right, a typical traffic stop is usually just 2 cars and about 2 - 4 officers. Though it's not uncommon to see 3 cars. Cops get easily distracted when they're out doing nothing and like to drop in to see how their buddies are doing.

So they were involved in a shooting...

beatdown deserved.

Still not deserved. Ripping them out of the car to make sure they can do no further harm is well deserved, the beating is not. It doesn't matter if they were in a shooting or even shot and killed someone. That's not how the justice system works.

From the video it is clearly evident that as soon as the cops get the guys out of the car they start wailing on them for no apparent reason. I didn't see any signs of resisting arrest but even if they did that number of cops should be able to legally and non-violently subdue 3 men. There is no cause for police to use violence unless violence is threatened upon them. It boils down to horrible judgement and horrible execution of their training.

Just because there is a known risk doesn't mean people aren't going to freak out when one of their own is gunned down.

So what. "Oh you'll have to excuse me for beating the shit out of you, I'm a little upset about my friend". That's not an excuse. When your job is to uphold the law there are no excuses for when you yourself break it.

If that many cops can't handle 3 dudes without having to beat the shit out of them then we have a serious problem with police training here in Philly. I'm honestly surprised they didn't just shoot them dead, seems to be a popular trend lately with the police here. I'd be shocked as hell if this were to ever get to a court room.

There are a lot of neighborhoods off of broad street down here by the Navy Yard that I don't go in on good days.

Really? Which ones cause I can't think of any terrible neighborhoods down there. Do you live in the city Rob or are you just a terrified suburbanite who has to come into the "dangerous" city for work?

I'm a skinny ass white dude and I'm not scared to walk any block in this city. When I first moved here all I could afford was a spot in the hood out in west Philly. Heard gun shots and fights at least once a week. My one roommate got robbed at gun point. But it's also where I met some of the nicest people I've encountered in this city in my 10 years here. The type of people you probably cross the street in fear of, you know...black people. If you treat people right you'll find that the great majority of people will treat you right as well.

Imo, whomever was in charge on this stint must fall, at minimum.

It'd be a very safe bet to say that won't happen. Police no matter how wrong never get what they deserve. I'm willing to bet at worst these douche bags get suspended WITH pay.
