While this incident obviously will draw parallels to the Rodney King case, these people were allegedly involved in a drive-by shooting; the most cowardly of all violent criminal acts. Innocent children invariably die from these.

The title would have been more correct to say drive-by shooting suspects have the shit kicked out of them by a shitload of cops in the City of Bro. Love.

To me, it's just as bad to perpetuate that an instance might be racially motivated when it was motivated by a crime.
I titled it the way CNN was presenting it. And the guys were already restrained and on the ground. Prosecute the dudes for sure, but the point is, as I just stated, they were restrained and on the ground. The cops kept beating them.
