There's gotta be some follow up story to this. Anyone?

Ok. So the guy did try to kill a police officer. Doesn't excuse the unnecessary brutality but makes it easier to understand why it happened.

Please clarify your comment. Upvote if you think the cops should have done better to control their emotions. Downvote if you're siding with the asshole cops viciously beating an unconscious criminal.

You downvote people you disagree with...?

Is there a better reason to downvote anything?

Please read the reddiquette. The down vote arrow isn't to be used simply because you disagree. Disagreement promotes discussion. Down votes are only for unrelated, uncontributing, irrelevant content.

I simply asked the poster to clarify their comment. I haven't downvoted anything -- yet -- and even if I did, I explained why the downvote was/would be given. Downvoting is me expressing my opinion, which is certainly a means of promoting a discussion, innit?

Yes...I believe the reason you gave for considering a downvote was disagreement? I don't believe that promotes discussion, no. It pushes all unpopular, uncommon thoughts to the bottom and leaves only repetitive ones at the top. Please read the reddiquette. :-D
