HOUSTON—Organizers frustrated by the recent acquittal of one of the officers accused of beating Chad Holley issued a veiled warning to city leaders during a meeting Monday at the Shape Community Center in southeast Houston.

“This is a very volatile situation,” said Nation of Islam Minister Robert Muhammad. “Either we’re going to get real justice, or we can’t have any peace.”

Muhammad’s remarks came as dozens of people gathered to discuss perceived injustices by police and the criminal courts. Last week, protestors sounded off after an all-white jury returned a verdict of not guilty for the first officer to go on trial in the Holley incident.

During the trial, jurors were shown a video taken of Holley in which he flashes what appeared to be gang signs. But attendees at the meeting focused their attention on the other video jurors watched, the one that showed several Houston police officers kicking and stomping Holley while he laid face down on the ground.

They called for the creation of an independent civilian review board with subpoena power. Muhammad called it the only way to keep what happened to Holley from happening again. He also said people frustrated by the police would be watching the up-coming trials of the other officers accused very closely.

“When people are denied justice, they become instable and insane,” he

Depends on which officer. The one who is kicking him in the shoulders, head, and then stomps his legs deserves an assault charge at the least.

When the police decide to punish someone for making there job harder they should be held to the full extent of the law.

I never did understand the priciples and morals of the Police departments.
If a cop goes home and screws his wife while on duty he gets fired.If 5 cops beat up 1 unarmed suspect they either get off by "jusifiable" or found not guilty.As a taxpayer i'd rather give the cop who went home and got some nookie a second chance then 5 ill-tempered pigs a second chance.
This is why these cops keep doing it cause the majority get away with it.

What would the current generation say that would ultimately be equivilient to, "Can't we all just get along?" Seriously, divide and conquer is getting pretty old and the media's attempts to incite race wars is as well. I don't have to like my fellow Americans, but have a moral obligation to stand beside them in defence.
