I wish people would stick to the topic you're discussing here - but please don't respond with bull ****.
Does that make it better? Further, Italians are one ethnic group. Black people in this country came from over 40 ethnic groups...and all were subjected to that inhumanity.
I saw a white guy being dragged by the HAIR by a cop on horseback.
6th Street Halloween festival, Austin, year was around 1990.
The drunk kicked the cop's horse, the cop reached down and grabbed him by the hair, and dragged him off.
So 30 years ago? Just imagine how much worse black men were being treated by law enforcement back then
Going further I would like for posters not to reference isolated occurrences of bigotry or injustice that non-blacks have endured in this country or the slavery of their people on some other part of globe in ancient history.
The context of this discussion is centered on race relations within the US, and it's intellectually dishonest to pretend that anyone has suffered as much as blacks. Agreed?

You're missing the point. The response given by the OP that whites don't have a history of fill-in-the blank is bull.
I can support many statements against what these cops did, but not that one.

But he was white so it doesn’t matter. Only black lives matter. Unless it’s one of dozens of blacks shot every weekend in cities like Chicago by other blacks. Black killers don’t matter. It’s just culture being culture.
You're actually thinking it's newsworthy when a white person is led around with a rope by cops on horseback? LOL, no it isn't. If it were done to a white person then those seeing it would just point and laugh.
Just because there may not be any news stories about them doing the same to a white person does not mean it hasn't happened. Most likely it did happen. This comment was stated by a police official ..
"not used correctly inthis instance"<bbm> .. may mean, it shouldn't have been used on a black person.
Maybe Mr. Neely shouldn't have ignored the warnings. If people are going to give him a pass because he's mentally ill, then, where was his sister and why didn't she make sure her brother stayed out of trouble.
Oh look, the sister didn't care about her brother, who was living on the streets and mentally ill.. until there's a possibility of a million dollar windfall. smh.
They need to start taking this to a jury. Don’t apologize or settle with these people. It’s only making resisting arrest another way for people to get a potential lawsuit. This is the new slip and fall scam.
The poster you responded to was looking for a recent news story.
