If the father really cared his son would not have been living on the street and therefore a vulnerable target ripe for the beating.

Well yes his father should have gotten him off the street if he could. Still, that does not excuse what these cops did in beating him to death. What is it with these LA cops that they seem to beat suspects all the time?
I don't understand what is going on in this country but it is not good.

It is very unfortunate. I think they dismiss a person that is homeless. They obviously would not do this with someone that was rich. They think the person is a throw away and they treat and beat them as such.

I'm not excusing the officers I'm merely stated my opinion. When a person sues over his homeless son's death, but doesn't seem to care about providing a home of sorts or at least checking in... It seems a bit odd.

It depends - sometimes the child leaves come hell or high water and sometimes the child is forcefully put out whatever the reasons.
