See shit like this should be a turning point. People should wake up and realise that civil liberties will one day cease to exist but in name only. But they wont. What the fuck happened. |

Um. I know it looks bad, but you don't know what that guy may have done before the video was shot, or even if he had a warrant and a flight risk attached to his name. Admittedly, a small portion of the police will abuse their power and give a bad name to the rest of police officers, but its wrong to assume either way what happened until all the facts are in order. |

seriously though, i don't know which is worse - the conduct of the police or that of the students. at one point there's at least 60 students standing, just gawking like the dumb yank fucks they are, thinking that they're powerless. had that happened here, in my college anyway, i guarantee you after the second tazer shock those cunts would've been beaten within inches of their lives by the onlookers. |

electrical shock is used by police forces across the united states; in this video you can see a group of police officers using electricity to torture and kill a man whose family called for an ambulance as he had a seizure; yet the police showed up first: the man was tied down and restrained and had no way of getting up but they just kept shocking him until he died. it's evil, wicked, and absolutely intolerable electrical shock is TORTURE! |

What I mean is, don't get so caught up in your programed reaction so that you stop thinking, or lose objectivity. Snap judgements and poor quality reactions are why the world is on the brink of annihilation. Just because you aren't conservative doesn't mean you aren't a part of the problem. |

Personally, I feel that everyone deserves a right to have their side heard or seen before I get too critical. Doesn't matter if they are criminal or police. |

|

right well, i never would've guessed since your discourse is usually of a very high standard. also, i'm particularly riled up right now. as for your other post - "don't get so caught up in your programmed reaction".. ? You're telling me I should discard all humanity? All empathy for other people? Maybe you should've read the newspaper article first, as i did, as it outlines the events surrounding the incident that was caught on camera, and proves there was no need for such action or aggression on the part of the police. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No, not discarding humanity. I think people should definately allow themselves to feel, but I think its bad tact to react out of your emotions, at least until its been give a chance to go through the proper filters. |

I did read the article. It still didn't seem to have anything from the officers side of the story. The fact that it quoted words like fuck and its overall tone kind of indicated to me that the article might have already made up its mind without hearing all sides of the story as well. |
||||||||

Yes, it didn't have anything from the officers' side of the story, since they wouldn't be so good as to provide such material. they're busy trying to figure out how to spin this. the fact that a word like fuck is quoted in the article is certainly an indicator of how unprofessional and unscrupulous the author is. he or she should be taken out, beaten with a first-edition copy of Joyce's Ulysses for approximately one hour as a fair and just reprimand. The ban on Ulysses - that fucking indecipherable, anal, profane filth - should then be re-enacted. |

Now that everyone is probly worked up about all that, I think it would be appropriate for all to watch episode of aqua teen hunger force. |

Don't put words in my mouth. I give everyone the benefit of the doubt. I kind of empathize with the police more knowing that a lot of theives have kill people who try to stop them from stealing a bottle of pop. |

It's . Some in this clip are enough for me to want to pointblank shoot them in the face. And beeing there with a gun, no doubt I would have pulled the trigger. They have to face the blowback. |

redrum said: "and it's disestablishmentarianism.. fucking hell, congratulations, you can't even spell the most famous word in the english language." Now that's bullshit, everyone Knows the most famous word is Stoke, with City just after it. 'Cunt' is the 3rd most famous/popular. |

People need to learn a different way of responding to things that they don't like than anger. Anger is going to drive people to kill a lot more often than reason. But if you decide that reason is not for you, and you would rather drive into things without thinking about it, I guess thats your choice. But as far as I am concerned it doesn't make you any better than the people who decided it would be best to invade iraq, or drop the bombs on hiroshima, or anything else. Thinking like that is easy, and its poison, and its going to kill everybody one of these days. Read what I am saying because it is true. People need to learn to shift their perceptions sometime down the line. I am not saying let bad people get away with whatever they choose to try to get away with, cops or criminals or whatever. |

that feeling of anger isn't wrong. it's the feeling of injustice, and in some cases, the only way to deal with it is by playing the enemy at their own game. the police are normal people. just like you and me. but when they wear that uniform, they become something else entirely. they become consumed by feelings of power and authority. they are so fucking deluded, so fucking far gone, that nothing can be done for them. sometimes war is necessary for change. it's a part of being human. we're not half as civilized as you would like to believe. |

No they don't. Some of them do. But its like saying everybody who smokes pot becomes a heroin addict. Pot doesn't cause people to become junkies, it just so happens that some people become junkies after they have smoked pot. Likewise, not all police are assholes. It just so happens that some people become police because it gives them some authority to hold over people. But to generalize upon a person because of their job is not better than a lot of other kinds of biggotry. And, no. Using someones tools against them isn't justified. Its like trying to justify genocide with genocide. By rising with anger to something that extreme, it makes you come across as extreme, invalidating what you may be saying to a lot of the people that you need to reach in order to make change. I don't agree with what the police in that video did, but I also don't agree with people openly going around and saying that those people should be shot. However, I also think that justice is rarely swift, for any sides of the scale. |

What I do know is this. A lot of the people who become police officers do sincerely want to help their community. Unfortunately, instead of helping their community, they end up watching drug dealers who are doing no good for anybody but themselves, walk out of jail after one day with mearly a slap on the wrist and a promise to appear before a judge three years later who will most likely shake their finger at them and tell them to leave without any penalty. These are the same people that will cut the hamstring of junkies who owe them ammounts as little as ten dollars when they don't pay. After a while, they get a bit jaded, and lash out. Not all of them do, but some, and those officers need to be dealt with on appropriate terms when the time arrives. But that involves members of the public going about intelligent means with which to inform the proper channels about what happened. Probly the best thing that could have happened there was someone calmly asking the officer for their badge number, which is what happened. Its illegal for an officer to not disclose that info, so they themself could be charged. All police work leaves a paper trail for that very reason, so the officers involved can be identified by reports of what incidents occur. Likewise: I know that a lot of people become paramedics because they want to help their community and make sure that people are given the proper medical treatment they need. However, a lot of their calls end up responding to poor people in ghettos who have overdosed, or have just been assaulted over drugs, or many other similar things. After a while of trying to revive the same person day after day who chronically overdoses but never seems to die, it can kind of wear on you. Personally, I think a lot of the problems in our society could be spared if instead of making hard drugs illegal, the government provided them to junkies. It would not cost more than the legal or medical implications of the illegal drug trade. It would end up paying for itself. |

I don't see how being worn out by junkie/dealer relationships applies to what those officers did in that University building or what that riot police officer did to that woman. I agree that these are just incidents though, I still believe most police officers have their feelings of superior power in check. But I do think that there are many rotten apples among them and I cannot understand how they can apply to become a cop, pass the screening and be handed a badge and gun. Or is there no screening? I wonder what happened to the officers that killed off that man as shown in the video above... |

Its one of the many different parts of the problem, but its one of the ones that I see the most, so I can talk about it with more understanding from both sides. Part of the reason the smaller courts are so backlogged is because of thousands upon thousands upon thousands of $5 cases where the people who were arrested were stealing to pay for crack or chrystal meth. The cops get jaded because any work they do never ends up getting thrown out of court, because the judges are too overworked to give each case the thought that it should require. Its not just the drug trade, but its a larger part of the problem than most people realize. |

And by that I mean:The cops get jaded because any work they do ends up getting thrown out of court |

More specifically, the important cases get overlooked because of the backlog of these unimportant $5 arrests. |

I bet no fucker refuses to produce their library card now though. If the police report is to be believed that is. Why would someone repeatedly refuse to show a fucking library card? They're either thick as shit or shouldn't be there. |
