Jesus fuck!I want to go punch a cop in the face.The cries of that dog. I can't imagine what I would do to someone if they did that to my dog. That is heartwrenching.

Just an all around stand up guy.After so many bad experiences, it is human nature to ignore common sense and paint every single person in that uniform with the same brush. I never said I was a perfect person, I never said I do not have emotions that get the better of me and I never said I was not a loudmouth.Exactly, so maybe caliling those girls "stupid" wasn't very generous. They're younger than you, not as experienced, and probably pissed off for a good reason.

Would you not say 'that's pretty stupid'? Dude has a fucking GUN.Again, where's the BLA when you need them?

Who dosen't know that? If it's some bullshit, just say yes sir no sir and hopefully be on your way.Yeah it sucks that he's punching that chick, but come on, she's an idiot and acting like a really stupid 2 year old. Like she would squirm out of his grasp and that would be it? She'd just go home?'Get your fucking hands off me!'Yeah that usually works real well with cops who are arresting you. Having a friend come over and start hitting him from behind works even better. I am shocked they did not get shot.We should only call cops names on message boards, not to their faces

What he's saying is "You can do whatever the fuck you want. You can. Any time. However, so can the cop, and he's the guy with the keys to the jail."See how that works?You can fly, dude. Seriously, try it. Jump up as hard as you can. You'll fly for a microsecond, then gravity has its turn. Gravity wins. You can punch a cop. Pee on his shoes. Call him a fascist. Tell him "Bad cop! No doughnut!" Knock yourself out.Well, or just let him do it. You're gonna get knocked out though. Doesn't make it right, but gravity wins.

My coworker played that video on mute with the Benny Hill theme running on another browser. Worked pretty well.Also, skip to about 1:18. Wonder what that young fellow was thinking of doing before he thought better of it?

tallchris can enlighten me if I'm wrong on any of this.City experiences growth in population/traffic at intersection near a high school. Road is widened which brings even more people and cars. With the expansion of people and cars comes the inevitable increase in people driving into each other's cars, and people being injured and killed. Some of the injured/killed are probably school-age kids. Letters are written to editor. Local news does a story about the dangerous intersection, with a shot of flowers in a little shrine set up curbside by a popular student's friends after she got hit by a car while jaywalking. Agendas at council meetings begin to feature discussion about What Is To Be Done. Maybe the stridency of some of the participants at these meetings attracts further attention. After a few months and a few more accidents, made even more high-profile now because of the attention of local media, motions are passed and money is raised or set aside to build a pedestrian overpass. It takes a while to build; traffic slows down or is even diverted, big hassle. When it opens, there is a marked decrease in people driving their cars into each other. Fewer kids have a special page in the yearbook devoted to them. Probably one or two fluff pieces run on slow news days about how Local Government Works. Perhaps a policeman addresses the student body about the importance of using the overpass, and about how patrols will be watching for jaywalkers, and how much the fine will be. Then one day a group of kids decides to cut across the street because they only have forty minutes for lunch, or they just got through with volleyball practice and don't want to climb the stairs, or the new Skinny Puppy album just went on sale, or whatevs. Sure enough, Officer Friendly pulls his car into the student parking lot, gets out, and starts to give his According-to-Hoyle lecture on jaywalking or, if he's sick of doing it and maybe has warned these same kids already this week, he asks for ID and gets out his citation pad. One of the kids can't believe she's going to have to pay a ticket for crossing the fucking street, so she "this is bullshit!'s" him and starts to walk away. The citation book gets buttoned into the breast pocket and it's now Jeckyll and Hyde time for Officer Friendly. The raised voices draw a crowd, and now the cop is surrounded by a bunch of students and passersby watching and filming him trying to control an out-of-control kid who for some reason doesn't have cable or hasn't ever heard of YouTube and isn't aware of how these things end. The rest you've seen. This cop hit a minor female or young adult woman with a closed fist after a struggle with an uncooperative "perpetrator" threatended to turn into a beef with two or more people who were secure enough in their righteous indignation that they were willing to physically resist his writing that ticket/making that arrest. He did not use his tonfa, taser, pepper spray or firearm. The first woman was performing the textbook definition of resisting arrest even before the second one stepped in. The woman in red suffered no lasting harm, she will have access to a court of law to seek redress for any injustice committed against her (however slanted in the officer's favor it may happen to be), and the situation ended with two people under arrest, the whole thing captured on video and audio to within an inch of its life, and no funerals for local media to scavenge so that they can sell their advertising for a few dollars more per minute. Maybe more kids use the overpass for a little while and fewer drivers have to live the rest of their lives with the memory of some honor student embedded in the windshield at MLK and Rainier.I lived in Milwaukee and worked at the county courthouse for seven years, and I grew up going to punk shows in LA and Orange County, and I've seen worse done for less reason or no reason at all.
