Pittsburgh Police Accused of Brutality in Jordan Miles Beating

That should be enough evidence that you are completely full of shit and doing nothing but race baiting. Quit your crying and attacks.

if youre going to cry like a bitch to me about that, go boohoo to every publication the ok? Dont try a switch it on me because the people involved feel a certain way. We call that projection.

This statement is so full of fail

So if youre done spouting out senseless bullshit, thatd be a great help to everyone in this topic

I highly suggest you take your own advice

Like I said, its the same in every reputable publication, any site, its the same, so I should change it because some people arent smart enough to discuss things correctly? Thats not my fault.

By telling me to change the title, youre telling CNN to change the title, CNN and everyone else that has the same title. That doesnt make sense to me.

I can understand if I myself mentioned anything about race in my posts, but I didnt. If I had said "man those white cops are blah blah blah etc" then youd have a point, but I didnt, so you dont.

You mean like the kids mom who said that the police assumed because he was black he was up to no good? Again, how the hell did she know what they assumed?

Thats not relevant in the least though. Its what the title of every article said, are you really caring about the title as opposed to the issue?

If a mod can change it then go ahead, if that will really make people feel better. (lol)

But when they click the link they will just see it there, when they go to any page, they will see it there.

So I ask, whats the point?

I dont know what she assumed, however I didnt make any comment on that did I? Its like you all are trying to make what she said into something I myself said, which I never did at all. Its like people are trying to make it seem that I said some racial stuff when I said nothing of the sort lol. I find it hilarious.

If anything, you could say something about me calling cops pigs. But then youd have nothing to say there either. Its a slippery slope.

RIght once again with your flawless logic, keep it up, I see the red showing a bit haha.

Those are your words from earlier in this thread in the same post. and no where in the article does it say that they did or didnt identify themselves as cops. you are assuming they didnt. do you even know what the term "putting words in my mouth" means?

Police in Pittsburgh are under fire after an unarmed black teenager was brutally beaten after officers mistook a soda bottle for a gun.

Jordan Miles was walking from his mother's home to his grandmother's house when three undercover white police officers jumped out of a car and approached him around 11 p.m. on January 12. Miles, 18, ran but the undercover officers caught him and punched him with closed fists, according to news reports.

The police say they suspected the shape underneath Miles's coat was a deadly weapon. It turned out to be a bottle of Mountain Dew soda.

Miles's mom suspects her son was assumed to be a criminal because of his race. "I feel that my son was racially profiled," Terez Miles said. "It's a rough neighborhood; it was after dark," she said. "They assumed he was up to no good because he's black. My son, he knows nothing about the streets at all. He's had a very sheltered life, he's very quiet, he doesn't know police officers sit in cars and stalk people like that."

Miles's family told the media that the teen plays the viola for the orchestra at Pittsburgh's Creative and Performing Arts High School. His mother said there was no reason for the officers to hit him the way they did, describing her son as 5'6 and 150 pounds. He has no criminal record.

the word identify doesnt even appear in that article. there are no quotes from the boy in that article.
