Absolutely the right thing to do. I salute this lady. Dicipline was needed and appropriate. A larger
dose by his dad would've been better. And the police chief was right. In an interveiw he said more parents should care about their kids like this lady does. Good to know there are still people who care about right and wrong in society. The perfect punishment: get an ass whoopin' for rioting from your mom on facebook..priceless

She's whoppin' him upside the head pretty good.

Absolutely....  Landed some haymakers...

Good for you mom I'm glad no one attacked her.

Ignorance

Why was he chucking stuff at the bulls in the first place?

Well the Baltimore police killed someone again, as does this or  any city, it's just this time it was this weeks' national focus for   racially motivated killer cop of the week.

I think someone arrested ended up dead in a cell with bizarre back injuries on this one.

So anyway lots of people get out in the streets and throw rocks. It's been that way here for centuries.

So the black cop that allegedly killed him was racially motivated?

More than one cop involved, this has been on the news everywhere, there are 6 officers charged as being complicit in this guys death .

[JWExperience]

The black cop driving the transport wagon has the most charges, including murder. 3 were black and three were white. Just wondering how it was racially motivated.
Point being, I hate speculation and that's all anyone making comments about probable cause and race are doing. Nobody commenting on this was there not do they know anything about policing so why can't people wait until facts come out. It's better for everyone that way.

You don't think that the fact that a pile of black men have been killed by cops in the US lately might just have something to do with it...?

[JWExperience]

100 per year die at the hands of cops.Thats 2% roughly of all black homicides. 90% of black homicides are a result of black on black crime and 8% are a result of white on black. Look up the statistics they are available. I believe the FBI has them on hand.
People that think cops go out looking for people to shoot are idiots and have no experience with critical incidents.

[JWExperience]

Oh and of that pile, how many are found to be done in malice by a jury of your peers?

  The FBI just cam out and said that NO ONE has the stats of black deaths by police, they were embarrassed by this and said something will now be done, i saw the interview Yesterday...interesting don't you think.... Did you see the footage of the rogue cops shooting black people indiscriminately on a bridge in New Orleans after hurricane Katrina..?  Did you see the footage of the cop shooting the unarmed black man in the service station several times as he went for the ID he was asked for, and also the cop that "accidentally" shot the guy on the ground instead of tazeing him, what about the cop that shot the black father with NO CRIMINAL HISTORY, in the back in the park recently....?  Idiots eh.....nice work....To think all cops are good,and mean well is blind faith..

[JWExperience]

Did I say all cops are good and go on blind faith? I don't remember that.
Mistakes will happen and I specifically said wait for facts. The majority of times caps are found to have been at the very least acting within the scope of their duties.
Pretty sure your line of work has people that screw up or slip through the cracks too.
I also find it hard to believe that in today's society where so many people cry racism or sexism etc that nobody is keeping stats. Especially after the civil rights movement, seems pretty irresponsible.

[JWExperience]

Where did you see that? I would like to try to look it up.

Here's a current link to the FBI and their accumulated statistics for crime by race.
http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2013/crime-in-the-u.s.-2013/offenses-known-to-law-enforcement/expanded-homicide/expanded_homicide_data_table_6_murder_race_and_sex_of_vicitm_by_race_and_sex_of_offender_2013.xls

I also recently saw a crime by city matrix that listed the offender and the victim. For major urban areas, crime by race percentages were unusually high in certain ethnic groups. No wonder, racial misty in urban areas is much higher.

Despite some accounting showing more than 1,000 civilians killed by police in 2014, that is not indicative of "wrongful death" by the officer. The justifiable need to shoot someone in the course of duty is all too real these days. Ferguson comes to mind. Baltimore I suspect will show the actions of the police was negligent in their custodial care, and thus they are culpable for the man's death. Especially given there was no probable cause found for his initial incarceration. Good for the city to hold them criminally accountable if the facts bear this out.

I hope we all just don't rush to judgement in either direction and allow due process to illustrate the truth.

This isn't where i saw it but its the same story...

[JWExperience]

Well said calj  wait for facts. If an officer did something wrong he should pay. Too many people are quick to pass judgement based on opinion.
A lot of the deaths caused by officers are also motor vehicle collision related. Shootings occur at a much lower rate.
Retro.. When Ferguson happened, did you hear about the black cop that shot an unarmed white kid? Most people didn't because the media won't report in that, it doesn't help their ratings/agenda.

Which one, the Salt lake city shooting or the one in Alabama, i'm sure there was another one as well....? No, they weren't publicized as much as the Black shootings, probably because they are much rarer...

I don't believe that for one minute JW, if as many unarmed whites were shot and killed as blacks there would be hell to pay....

Shootings occur at a much lower rate

Compared to where else...? The US....? Astronomically more than where i live, even if population is taken into account...

I'm only referring to unarmed shootings by police as a anomaly , and its not my opinion, its whats happening, not in every case though, i never said that, i'm talking about actual shootings, like the one of the cop shooting the black father in the back with NO PREVIOUS record, in a public park, then lying about giving life saving assistance and planting the tazer on him, it was disgraceful, it was all caught on film, as was the incompetent fool shooting the guy lying face down on the ground and the cop repeatedly shooting the black guy in the Gas station, who survived, luckily enough.......  100 per year is a statistic thats proven considerably inaccurate, due to poor reporting, no reporting or the different way some keep stats, which skews the information, there is no accurate information collection on this,  that came directly from the FBI representative's interview i saw a couple of days ago, he went on to say the " that is all about to change...

[JWExperience]

So you don't live in the states and think because you hear news in the liberal media that you know what is occurring here? I'm a cop in a large city, I'm on the front lines and can respond to this based on actual experience. What life experience can you base your information on?
Look up the gangs in our country. Rarely are they white kids involved in turf wars over drugs. It's primarily black and Hispanic kids. Therefor it goes to reason, cops would end up in more deadly physical force situations with minorities while working in gang territories in these inner cities.
Where there are drugs, there are guns. Both guns and drugs =gangs. Gangs= much higher percentage on minorities. ITS VERY SIMPLE.
You keep bringing up the same couple of incidents to make the point of SO MANY black people being shot by cops. 
Probably should look at those FBI stats that you said didn't exist.
Car accidents are the main cause of death for police officers. About 75% of on duty deaths for cops are motor vehicle related. Most accidents involve more than one vehicle. That is what my prior statement about accidents causing more deaths than firearms is based on.
