Maybe if Williams was not a punk, hood rat, this would have never happened at all. When are people going to take responsibility for their own actions??????????

I agree, if the guy wasnt a punk then he wouldnt have been kicked to begin with. Sometimes you need to put the boots to the bad guys to make sure thay they will listen to what you tell them.
I am sure the cop will get off on all charges, he did his job and that is that. |

Well put. Also, do you see a pattern with the race of the people arrested and how they always cry "foul" when they're caught in the act. It's simple if you don't want this type of "conduct" to continue, then QUIT BREAKING THE LAW!!!!!! |

Looks to me like he was trying to keep the dudes arm or hand from getting away from the officer trying to handcuff him. After all this dude is a criminal and ran from police thats resisting arrest. I don't see anything wrong here.

Another day the NAACP cries wolf. When will they stop their fairytale existence and join the rest of society. The sad part is, that the young man that got arrested will be out in no time, back conductin' his business as usual.

I know how Mr.Williams feels,I have a child that filed a complaint against an Akron Officer for touching her chest & they have not done anything about it,but take the officers side.

I saw absolutely nothing wrong with that arrest. Those officers seemed very professional while doing an extremely dangerous task.
Ophelia Averitte said "there's a way to do anything and everything." You're right Ophelia, and those officers did it the way it is supposed to be done. Arresting drug dealers is serious business, and those criminal are not to be coddled. Hooray for the Akron Police and the Federal agents who are out there arresting dangerous criminals! |

The thug needed a swift little kick...you ran from the police and resisted arrest. And like the previous post I am sure he will be out on the streets again this weekend. I bet if you go to city courts on line for Akron (summit county), punch in his name you will see a rap sheet god knows how long. Its public info...I think I might check it out.

Averitte states "There is a human side to everything." Tell that to the people who have lost loved ones to illegal drugs. Or the people who are prisoners in their own homes because they are afraid of the dealers and junkies who have taken over their neighborhoods. I, for one, say "Kick em if you need to and em off our streets!" Go Akron PD !!
And as for Averitte ... If you lived in Akron instead of Copley ... You might see things in a different light !! |

Mr.Williams is NOT a CHILD ... He is a 22 year old drug dealer that was caught in the act of dealing drugs!! He is the scum of the earth !! |

THEY SHOULD HAVE BEAT HIS SORRY ASS FOR BEING A PUNK

Thumbs up for the Akron Police!
Thumbs down for the Akron NAACP. Pick your battles carefully Ms. Averitte, you are out of line on this one. Those officers were out there helping the community. If you lived in that (primarily black) neighborhood you would be thrilled they were arresting the thugs. |

Went thru http://www.sccjis.co.summit.oh.us/ this thug has had over 17 charges.....hopefully he will be in jail for awhile. |

I just had to watch that video 3 times before I even saw the kick! Sure didnt even look like a kick to me. It looked more like a little push with the officers foot. These claims are getting way out of hand. This is just stupid. They way they were talking I thought the thug got his ass kicked! What a joke!

Regardless if he was a punk or not... he should not have been kicked..if you people would have watched the tape you would see that he was in custody, on the ground, and not resisting as this officer ran over and preceded to kick him. I saw it on the news and noticed it immediately. Was his race the reason for this...probably not, but the officer act unprofessionaly and there was no reason for him to kick the guy.

OH here we go again. And not surprisingly, another minority group is accusing the police of misconduct. This time it's for the Advancement of Colored People (or WTF their name is). Nice to see they're behind a career criminal.
Face it. The guy was CAUGHT in a criminal act, then when he was being apprehended, he decided to play games and do his own thing. Oh well. The police acted appropriately. But I am sure the minorites with agendas and others who have issues with cops will be all over this this weekend. |

You call that a kick? The punk wasn't even cuffed yet and it looked like he was resisting. Every time Ophelia Averitte and the NAACP jump at a chance to knock the police for something as asinine as this, it just shows what an organization of complete wackos they really are. Anybody that takes anything she or the NAACP says seriously should have their head examined. I aplaud APD for their efforts to rid the streets of these oxygen thieves that plague our great city.

I had to watch the video three times to see anything resembling a "kick". It was more of a push with a foot. It looked completely professional to me. Go APD! I think the NAACP is embarassing itself on this one.

Well lets see....another case of police brutality...lets see how long it takes for them to call for a investigation....

Go to summit county clerk of court (public record) web site and check out the criminal record of this thug. Arrested several times in 04/05/06 and now 07. Thanks Akron Police for cleaning up our community.

Someone is being very informative and helpful, especially if you want them to explain something that you don't understand, so listen carefully to what they tell you. This is also a great day for making some travel plans, perhaps by arranging to visit a friend you haven't seen in a while or by discussing where you should take your next holiday.
