1. I say, if a cop sees a bike without a headlight they should beat up the rider no matter how young.

That'll learn ya!

2. "If she hadn't been wearing that miniskirt,

she wouldn't have gotten raped!"

Detective Steve Berry is using the SAME damned externalization of responsibility and blaming the victim!!! How was this young man, on a BICYCLE, using his cell phone, speaking in a calm tone of voice, a threat to this "officer"?!?

Can't be Black while riding a bike; can't be Latino while riding a bike. Welcome to our brave new world order.
