Re: Police

I'm sure he's just one of them bad apples!

It's a fractal.
If you don't pay your taxes that pays his salary he gets to pick you up, taze you and throw you in jail.

Re: Police

Those who videotape cops can be charged with "wiretapping?" WTF.

Re: Police

My wife's brother photographed an arrest of a sibling. His phone was stomped by 2 officers. Daddy in law has some money and hired an expert to get the photos. Once they came back charges were dropped.

Details: Sibling was being loud while walking home on a sidewalk. Asked for ID, said "why," was immediately thrown to the ground, beaten and cuffed. Spent the night in jail w/ $50,000 bail (not a typo).

Re: Police

it seems ridiculous trying to defend a naked guy in a wizard robe who seems about as unstable as possible, but why exactly did the use the taser here?

Re: Police

From what I gathered, they were trying to get him to put some clothes on. He refused, and they attempted to cuff him. He was making it difficult, so they tased him. IMO it was unnecessary.

What's the problem? If the people think that is objectionable they'll make it known at the ballot box in four years. Self-correcting problem IMO.

Where do you live that you elect your police officers?

Re: Police

Found this video posted in the naked wizard video comments:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYmy0zr3WL8

The opening dropkick is insane. I wish this was the average American's response to police brutality, unfortunately here in the US it would have ended as a mass civilian slaughter.
