Re: yet another police brutality post
Cliff Notes
-Punk skateboarding teens think they can do whatever they want with impunity. -Cop teaches teens that defying the law gets you chased down handcuffed and arrested. -Stupid teens still think they did nothing wrong and are entitled to do whatever they want regardless of how their actions might affect others. -Stupid Teens post video on YouTube to show the world how they were brutalized by "The Man", but are instead mocked. |

Re: yet another police brutality post
imo the main thing on show is not 'police brutality', it's a display of how badly things can go if a police officer has no grasp on how to handle a situation properly.
The police officer was not necessarily overly rough or brutal, but just showing really really bad policing skills. |

Re: yet another police brutality post
Autocratic,
LOL, excellent FYP. Best I have seen in awhile. Though I of course must assert my Anti-cop people side with a really loose understanding of the law and say that since they were 13, and not 17, this was ridiculous. Brian [EDIT]: And, if this turns into some really big thread, good thing Autocratic got the real Cliffs Notes in near the start of it. |

Re: yet another police brutality post
Cop was way way way out of line on this one and it isn't even close. I don't see how anyone can come to any other conclusion. When someone acts out against an abusive authority figure (who has near absolute power in this situation) you can hardly blame them.
I know we didn't get to see everything that lead up to that event, but if it was short of punching the cop in the face, it was totally uncalled for. and since the cop mentioned a lot of things, but never anything like that, i am pretty sure the kid didn't do anything crazy before the camera arrived. In conclusion, here is a little illustrative ranking of the people/things i hate in life: cop > OP > papercuts >ann coulter > rednecks |

I hope they keep him on the kiddie patrol. Autocratic - haha nice. -Al |
