		<description>I am 65 years old white guy, and have seen some horrible things in my life, and I have personally known police officers since I was 13. When I was 21, I witnessed my first non-racist beating, of a 15 year old white boy, by 6 officers of the law. In the South, racist beatings by law officers were very common in the 50&#039;s &amp; 60&#039;s. This was something new, but foretold of the coming violence toward those, of whom, the establishment didn&#039;t approve. Personally, I have not seen a more out of control police establishment than the one we live with in the present. Most police departments require their officers to bulk-up in order to intimidate their adversaries, you and me. If police departments were forced to administer steroid tests, there would not be Congressional hearings on the charges, it would just be a case of  &quot;boys will be boys&quot;.  Their motto is no longer &quot;to protect and serve&quot;, today it is &quot;don&#039;t fuck with me, or you might not make it to jail&quot;. When I was a child, I was told that the police were your friend, I would never lie to a child, like that again.</description>

		<description>The guy I went to school with who became a cop, was a bully and not bright enough to become much else.  I met a cop at the dojo I used to train at, and he seemed all right, even made it in the local paper as a hero.  Like with everything else, there is a large grey area, but most people focus on the black and white.</description>

		<description>&quot;The infliction of physical punishment is not every man’s job, and naturally we were only too glad to recruit men who were prepared to show no squeamishness at their task. Unfortunately, we knew nothing about the Freudian side of the business, and it was only after a number of instances of unnecessary flogging and meaningless cruelty that I tumbled to the fact that my organization had been attracting all the sadists in Germany and Austria without my knowledge for some time past. It had also been attracting unconscious sadists, i.e. men who did not know themselves that they had sadist leanings until they took part in a flogging.  And finally it had actually been creating sadists. For it seems that corporal chastisement ultimately arouses sadistic leanings in apparently normal men and women.&quot;  -- Rudolf Diels</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;You&lt;/i&gt; can&#039;t have a gun because &lt;i&gt;some other people&lt;/i&gt; misuse them.  &lt;i&gt;You&lt;/i&gt; can&#039;t drive drunk because &lt;i&gt;some drunks&lt;/i&gt; kill others.  &lt;i&gt;You&lt;/i&gt; can&#039;t get a job if you can&#039;t pass a piss test because &lt;i&gt;some people&lt;/i&gt; abuse drugs on the job.  &lt;i&gt;You&lt;/i&gt; can&#039;t have a vote because &lt;i&gt;some people&lt;/i&gt; vote for evil men.  &lt;i&gt;You&lt;/i&gt; can&#039;t publish &lt;i&gt;your&lt;/i&gt; opinion because &lt;i&gt;some people&#039;s&lt;/i&gt; opinions cause others to commit suicide.  &lt;i&gt;You&lt;/i&gt; can&#039;t speak because speech has been known to incite &lt;i&gt;other people&lt;/i&gt; to commit violence.

I applaud your goal, but I think you should probably avoid using those kinds of justifications...</description>

		<description>I had a sudden onset episode of extreme hypoglycemia myself earlier this year - I was walking to the subway, and one block, I felt fine, the next, I was only dimly aware that I couldn&#039;t see or stand, and was bracing myself against a parked car as I sat on the sidewalk. I remember being worried that the car would drive off, but I lacked the strength to do anything else. I was lucky that concerned citizens, thinking I was drunk, called the EMTs, who recognized the issue and treated me - but I was so exposed, the experience made me feel very terrified for days - I could have been robbed, beaten, or raped and been powerless to resist. Worse, in that condition, the brain does not create memories, so often I cannot recall what happens when I have extremely low blood sugar because my brain isn&#039;t storing it.  As a person with Type 1 (juvenile) diabetes, this is one of my biggest fears - that I&#039;ll be unable to explain or defend myself because of my condition from an attack, whether by police or civilians.</description>

		<description>ok - if you want to start eliminating  evidence... ( now I know your a cop CoyoteDen) , lets then add to this little equation every time this Bullshit  happens with no one around  to film it  ! ... the point I am trying to make is if it happens once --- that is  one too many times . however this , as proven in recent months is a TREND AMONG POLICE OFFICERS WHO THINK THEY ARE ABOVE THE LAW THEY SERVE ! IT HAS BECOME MOB MENTALITY AS YOU SEE BY THE SWARM OF OFFICERS SWOOPING IN AND LITERALLY KICKING THERE VICTIM IN THE HEAD.    In most of these offenses on the public ,unless someone dies ...the officers are given a two week desk job or vacation and a scrap of paper in their file that is removed within one year.That is salt in the wound - the officers in question should be made to suffer a more extreme punishment than a regular citizen would for this type of assault . Why ? because they should be held to a higher level of responsibility because they are LAW ENFORCEMENT !  Even when someone does get MURDERED by the police - the offense is usually overturned in court -  very rarely is an officer excommunicated from the BROTHERHOOD.  They should be held to a higher level of accountability , not given a GET OUT OF JAIL FREE CARD
These pricks think just because it comes out of their mouth its the law and we must comply - they cannot reason with logic  and half the time do not fully understand the laws they uphold, so they cir-cum to the BRUTE FORCE MENTALITY -&quot; DO AS I SAY OR SUFFER A BEATING BY ME AND MY FRIENDS &quot;

The good cop is one who is willing to uphold the law against his peers , especially when those peers are committing civil rights violations. A good cop is one who takes his oath to Serve and Protect the CITIZENS seriously...  So if that&#039;s you great , but don&#039;t minimize the issue. There are plenty of Bad apples in the bunch and this type of thing occurs daily and it MUST STOP.Until officers are held to accountability for their actions on the job , No one is SAFE 

.Now  Go shine up your badge and clean your gun-ASSHOLE</description>

		<description>Actually, I own a crock, a 1 gallon pickling crock from my great grandmother. Something that you stick a bunch of odds and ends into, and let stew. Honestly, I think the comparison is rather apt. =P </description>

		<description>As much as I agree with the concept (and that in itself scares me a bit), I don&#039;t think that&#039;s a real option currently either. How would we get people to unite when a large percentage of our fellow citizens outright support this sort of thing? Despite the whole &quot;99% vs. 1%&quot; idea, the truth is that lots of American citizens are completely supportive and complicit in the destruction of their own freedoms. How would we stand any chance of winning when, as you say, every small town has its own SWAT team and state-of-the-art equipment? WHO would we fight? The police are just a tool, who are the actual, real people that it would make a permanent difference if we got rid of? And if we somehow got that far, what then? We&#039;d need to create a better system, one that can&#039;t be so easily corrupted, but how?</description>

		<description>What worries me is that for everyone of these that gets through and is broadcast and some kind of justice prevails, I guess there&#039;s 10 that don&#039;t. They &#039;lose&#039; the film, the &#039;camera was broke&#039; or they just drag them away somewhere to beat the shit out of them.
When are things gonna change? And how?</description>

		<description>The good cops/bad cops game means that we are all complicit in our own oppression - including the police themselves - whether we want it or not. Fuck the police (the institution)!</description>

		<description>The last person I knew who became a cop....defaced my car since it was Anti-Bush and when confronted on it lied and when I said &quot;You&#039;re old enough..if you support the war so much why don&#039;t you sign up?&quot;  He said as soon as he graduated..I replied &quot;That&#039;s like waiting til 1946 to join WWII&quot;

He graduated, but by then the failures of Bush were so obvious he choose to become a cop in Carson City, NV.</description>

		<description>Alright....your point is much clearer now.

But the police @ this point are out of civilian control: too many cops (several a day on average) getting a slap on the wrist for behavior no different than a banana republic.</description>

		<description>All he said was pigs...in reaction to the horrible behavior of these cowards specifically.  He did not say &quot;All cops are pigs&quot; but you jumped to that conclusion did you not?  As for the 1st paragraph of your statement...it is incoherent, so i&#039;m trying to tease out what the fuck you are talking about.</description>

		<description>Ahh, youth. Idealistic youth. In real reality, when you don&#039;t get enough to eat, you don&#039;t riot much. Ego can in fact be beaten out of you, and the knights are always bigger and better fed than the serfs. Same as it ever was. </description>

		<description>&quot;My neighbor was beating his wife a couple of months ago. Did I go over there and stop it? No, I called the cops. Because I don&#039;t want an enemy living next to me. I could give other examples.&quot;

So, Mujokan, you&#039;re not enemies with a wife beater? Good for you.</description>

		<description>The moral test of a government is how it treats those who are at the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the aged; and those who are in the shadow of life, the sick and the needy, and the handicapped.&quot; - Hubert Humphrey

We fail the sh!t out of this test!  46% of children in Amerika live in poverty. Elderly are choosing between medication and food. 

Amerika has got the sickness. 
Occupy is right. 
It is 99% against 1% who are out to fuc k us over. 
Now is the time ~ the place is here. </description>
