Is brute force the best law enforcement can do? It seems in situations in which a person continues to resist arrest, piling on punches and kicks becomes punitive and is not effective. I don't feel the police are exonerated in Mr. Culver's death.
I am a conservative caucasian, but I don't think I fit your characterization of the racial divide. I was and am shocked and horrified at how the RCMP handled this situation and this man. Nope, didn't attend the rally at the courthouse, but you'll be hard pressed to find me at any demonstration, period. But I also have to say this: to show solidarity and compassion with Mr. Culver's family, attending the rally could have been helpful. I vehemently disagree with this ruling, and think this was a miscarriage of justice.
I'm also not entirely sure how it's helpful to assume that my reaction is an anomaly among caucasian citizens. So I'm curious. Why? Why assume that most or all caucasians would agree with letting this matter drop?
