"Video of the incident, which Mu posted on his Facebook page on Monday, shows the officer pulling Mu's head back by his hair before putting him in a headlock. After tackling Mu, the officer pulls out his pepper spray and shoots it in the skateboarder's face."

RIP Officer Holder - one black man forgotten by many because he wasn't wearing the right clothes when he was killed.

Welcome to the Planet. Perhaps you could expand on your thoughts here.

Are you referring to the NYPD officer that was shot and killed? If so, how does that fit the subject of this thread.

Thank you for any clarification you can provide.

Still thinking about school sponsored violence against children. When a 12 year old kid playing with a toy gun gets murdered by the police in a park isn't bringing armed officers into schools like inviting the fox into the hen house? I mean I know cops have been in schools for years now, but really it ain't working and it was never going to.

School systems around the country have armed uniformed police arresting children on a daily basis and making criminal offenses out of normal everyday disciplinary issues which really should result in detention. Instead these kids end up with criminal records as well as battered bodies.

The racist and classist criminalization of children continues, feeding our big business prison industry.
