I am so disapointed in Fox 29 for airing the police beat down of 3 common criminals just for ratings.These guy's are low life scum that  if got  away would kill someone else. They should be treated the same they treated their victims.Now us tax payers will support them in jail.It's a shame these cops are going to lose thier jobs and have a tough time supporting  their families. These thugs are going to sue the city and when they get out of jail they are going to spend the lawsuit money on drugs, then go back to the criminal lifestyle. So thanks Fox 29, I will never watch your newscast  again. That goes for about  50 friends of mine and about 98% of the police force.

Caraboo-
I'm pretty sure we reported the suspects were "scum" with significant criminal histories.

What hasn't been reported on television is that we get flooded with phone calls and e-mails weekly (especially after that tape) from all parts of the city claiming officers are over the line in their treatment of suspects (because, remember, they aren't guilty until a trial by their peers).

Unfortunately, no one in the media had to say anything. This tape spoke for itself. Every one of us who looked at that tape cringed at what we saw and the fact that it had to be reported.

In my opinion, airing it was the best thing we could have done because it will eventually allow a jury to decide whether the officers acted appropriately. (Another separate jury will decide whether the suspects did indeed commit that triple shooting.)

If you consider the number of cell phone cameras, business surveillance cams, police surveillance cameras, and satellites... police officers ESPECIALLY should know that chances are you are on tape somewhere. But that's another story- and something that's truly scary.

Oh brother big brother... Oh well Orwell... and we don't make the news we just report it. If the watchdog of the people doesn't bark how will we know there's a crime being committed?

I think that the main reason folks are fed up is the perception that the media is pandering to the minorities and not representing the assumption that it's all the minorities fault that there is so much crime in their areas of concentration.

If I say that most of the crimes being committed are being committed by black males and follow that statement up with calling for bigger police forces and more prisons... then I just joined those cops on that video kicking some kid in the head because I think he's guilty. How moral and upstanding I am because I support the Cops and not the criminals!

Well... time to watch "Leave it to Beaver" at least his mother learned to speak 'jive'.

Thank you Fox 29 for airing that beating. Maybe the beatings would have been justified if those 3 young men were actually criminals, actually shooting on a public street and risking innocent lives. But it doesn't seem justifiable because they are three young black males going to visit a mother whose child had died a few days earlier. They were not visiting the mother who's son was slain during that bank robbery. They were not "friends" with the man the police were looking for. They were 3 young men in the wrong place at the wrong time. No, those beatings were not justifiable by any means. Each policeman should be accountable for, taken off the force, and given jail time. My son could of been one of those men in that car who could of been beaten senseless. And for ANYONE who agrees to what was shown on tv are just as cynical as those police officer. Those men make the Philadelphia Police Officers look like thugs in a blue suit. Right is right and wrong is wrong no matter what color suit you wear or what color skin you're in. Please officers, go after the real criminals, not innocent people who you "think" look like criminals.

I WILL ALWAYS MAINTAIN THAT THESE LOW LIFE THUGS GOT WHAT THEY DESERVED!!!!!!! TO PHILLY PD, TAKE IT TO THESE THUGS BEFORE THEY BRING IT TO YOU!!! AND OH, TO FOX 29, SHAME ON YOU. WHY DON'T YOU GO INTO SOME OF THESE NEIGHBORHOODS AND DO AN UNDERCOVER STORY ON THE RAMPANT CRIME AND CRIMINAL ELEMENT THAT EXISTS IN THE CITY AND FILM THAT!!!!!! YOU HAVE LOST A VIEWER.

The 3 so called "innocent" men just shot up at 3 or 4 people. If Fox was truly responsible, they would have shown the entire story, from the beginning where the shootings began. What was shown was purely for financial gain of the station.

I totally agree with you. Its nice to see that others out there believe in giving our hard working police the break, instead of the criminals.

KUDOS TO THE PHILADELPHIA POLICE DEPARTMENT!!

I AM ALL FOR THE POLICE BEATING THE SH#T OUT OF THOSE LOW LIFE SCUMBAG THUGS. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THE BLACKS ARE TRYING TO DEFEND THEIR SONS, ETCS ACTIONS. THEY WERE INVOLVED IN A SHOOT OUT AND THE POLICE JUST DECIDED ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. TO ALL THE BLACKS-I GUESS YOU THOUGHT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR LITTLE GHETTO THUGS KIDS BEATING UP AND KILLING THAT GUY IN THE SUBWAY STATION A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO ALONG WITH THE OTHER ATTACKS. OH, BETTER GO TELL AL SHARPTON SO HE CAN START A PROTEST. OH, I GUESS THAT WOULD NOT BE A GOOD IDEA SINCE WE WAS ARRESTED FOR PROTRSTING AND NOW BEING INVESTIGATED FOR TAX FRAUD. MY HOW THE TABLES HAVE TURNED. IF THE POLICE WOULD BEAT THE HELL OUT OF MORE OF THESE THUGS, I AM SURE CRIME WOULD DROP. NOT TO MENTION THE LEGAL SYSTEM THAT IS A JOKE AND JUST LETS CONVICTED CRIMINAL BACK OUT ON THE STREETS--LOOK AT ERIC FLOYD. HE SHOULD HAVE STILL BEEN IN PRISON AND IF THAT WERE THE CASE OFFICER LIZESKI WOULD STILL BE ALIVE TODAY.

ONCE AGAIN, BRAVO TO THE PHILADELPHIA POLICE--KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!

This is the reason why criminals do the things they do. If you want to get involved with crime you better expect to face punishment. People are killing cops these days without even batting an eye. I feel cops should use more force and the punishment shoud be more severve for crimes, maybe this will scare some people thinking of commiting a crime. I have no sympathy for scumbag criminals!!

Yo Yolanda……The “thugs” you refer to are your own FAMILY. Think about it: your nephew is what he is because of his upbringing. Take a gun, shoot people, take police on a high speed chase, refuse to get out of the car………who is the “thug”???? And you stick up for him. I wonder what kind of statements you would be making if the situation were the other way around and ANOTHER Philadelphia Police Officer is killed because a “thug” is on the streets with a gun SHOOTING people! You show a lot of outrage to the Police on Fox News. Please tell me, have you asked your nephew WHY he did what he did!!!!! No, let’s blame the Police.
You need to stay out of the News Media.

I THINK THAT THE POLICE SHOULD BE ABLE TO USE ANY FORCE NEEDED TO STOP THESE THUGS. WHETHER IT INVOLVED SHOOTING THEMK OR BEATING THEM. THAT IS THE POIMNT WE ARE AT NOW. OBVIOUSLY OUR LEGQAL SYSTEM (WHICH IS A JOKE) IS NOT WORKING SINCE THESE LOSERS GET OUT OF JAIL IN NO TIME OR JUST A SLAP ON THE WRIST.

I THINK THE POLICE SHOULD BE TRAINED TO SHOOT OR BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF THESE CRIMINALS WITHOUT HESITATION. BACK IN THE OLDEN DAYS THAT IS WHAT WAS DONE AND CRIME WAS NOT A PROBLEM AS IT IS TODAY. ANYONE WITH ME ON THIS?

ALSO, THOSE THREE "THUGS" DO NOT HAVE ANY RIGHTS. THEY ALONG WITH THE OTHER THUGS IN PHILADELPHIA ARE JUST EYESORES TO SOCIETY AND SHOULD HAVE TO PAY. WA! WA! WA!. THEY GOT THE SH#T BEAT OUT OF THEM BY THE POLICE WHILE PARTICIPATING IN CRIMINAL ACTIVITY AND WERE CAUGHT. ARE WE SUPPOSED TO FEEL SORRY FOR THEM? HELL NO. WE SHOULD FEEL SORRY FOR THE FAMILIES AND THEIR VICTIMS BECUASE THESE THUGS GET AWAY WITH A SLAP ON THE WRISTS FOR COMMITING THESE CRIMES AND ARE BACK ON THE STREETS IN NO TIME. I AM SURE THESE LOSERS WERE COLLECTING WELFARE ANYWAY AND DEALING DRUGS. WHY WOULD THEY GET JOBS LIKE EVERYONE ELSE? THAT IS TOO HARD. JUST LOCK THEM UP AND THROW AWAY THE KEY. THOSE THUGS THAT WERE INVOLVED IN SHOOTING OFFICE LECEWSKIS DID NOT HAVE ANY REMORSE FOR HIS FAMILY OR ANYONE THEY VICTIMIZED. WHY SHOULD ANYONE FEEL REMORSE AND FEEL SORRY FOR THESE WORTHLESS THUGS?

Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent — the LORD detests them both.

They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.

Scum, scaves,filth,garbage,crap, waste, thugs,skunks, punks,low lifes, eyesores, maggots, etc. I think we are discribing the criminals who beat up and even kill someone in our society. The last time I checked, the law that is used to inforced all of the above refers to "ANYONE' who violates society's laws. So we must depend on our proud men and women with a badge on to uphold and protect all of us against the above mentioned. When we look at all the thing we said above. Fox29 showed two different kind of criminals. Some say its criminals fighting criminals like in a gang war. The only trouble I have, is trying to decide who was the good guy protecting society and who has the right to take the law in their own hands administer justice.

That's where forming citizens militias comes in. It's a representative form of military.

TO MOMMAREENIE AND STATUEMAN,
Those three men are criminals in this city and you better pray that they don't run into you on the streets because you may be their next targets. Their criminal records are extensive including robbery with a gun, using a gun on city streets also known as VUFA. They sell drugs on our city streets and their criminal records speaks for themselves so those oh so innocent boys were not just visiting a friends mother who was mourning her son they were out for revenge, thats how the city streets work, they were out driving around after visiting their friends momma looking for trouble so YES THEY ARE SCUM and the police did their job. and for the police, they knew they were CHASING a car that was involved in a shooting, thats right CHASING those thugs for several blocks for a shooting of four BLACK men, thats right they were out their doing their job for BLACK MEN WHO WERE JUST SHOT BY THREE BLACK MEN.And where are the four victims now, oh they were probably paid off by the scums family to keep quiet because they know their gonna get paid from the city for a "so called beating". So to all the media continue to do your job and hope your never caught at the wrong place at the wrong time, make sure you never commit a crime, traffic violation,, drive under the influence because if you do I hope it gets televised and you lose your job or better yet are just embarrassed. You act like your perfect. Put on the blue uniform and see if you could do the job because its easy to say what you would do in their situation but you don't know.

To the officers who are jammed up in this "so called beating" Hold your heads up high regardless of the outcome because you did your job and you did it well. This city has lost three officers in two years by thugs/scum in our city and for all you knew you could've been next.
