There was a video posted on here a while ago featuring a Yank being tazered by several 'Campus Cops' after refusing to show his ID.
There's now been a similar incident at an event with John Kerry. (https://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/7001464.stm)
From what I can see, they had the guy under restraint and pinned to the floor, and he was only offering passive resistance. They Tazered him because he refused to roll over onto his stomach to make it easier to cuff him.
Are American police really so arse that they haven't been taught the skills necessary to flip the guy over or bring him to a position where he can be safely put under mechanical restraint? That's basic everyday stuff for me, and I'm hardly a hideously dangerous ninja of death - and neither are most of my staff.
You'd think that - given the number of cameras and ex-presidential candidates bowling about the place - they'd have been a little more subtle! |
Except that they've learned, as have the police here, that they can perpetrate such acts with absolute impunity. I was watching a video earlier today where a cop gratuitously shot a man in the head (unaware it was being caught on CCTV) and killed him, lied about the entire scenario, but was backed by his bosses and the investigations that followed, despite the fact that all these people had by now seen the video.
They then tried to suppress the video. Finally a serious investigation found the cop guilty of multiple offences...so he was promoted.
Once the police learn that there is very little chance of consequences for criminal behaviour, even when that behaviour is caught clearly on camera, they run amok. As they have been doing in the USA for many years, and are doing here, albeit to a lesser degree (you have to be carrying a table-leg in a carrier bag, or be mistaken for a suicide bomber, before they'll blow your innocent ass away in the UK. And then escape all and any consequences for it).
They're about to be issued tazers here, so I suggest everyone brace themselves for a whole new gigantic tsunami of abuses, brutality, 'accidental fatalities' and other outrageous acts of barbarism. ____________________ "There's the horizon!

Campus police are cops that never made it
Cops here are power abusing ass holes.
They have little man syndrome.
State troopers are the worse think they are f*cking elite and you should worship them. They all think they know better. They abuse there power at any moment. Even if you show them respect they show none back.
The legal system in this country is so corrupt its unbelievable. When I was in court on Monday for a load of charges. I was let go for 76.50 as I had spoken to the D.A previously. It would appear that little town courts kangaroo you through it. For the cop it was his word against mine no proof, thats how I got out of it. I was entitled to a trial by jury or a bench trial which basically means the judge decides if I'm guilty or not so I took that one, it's nice knowing people thats for sure
But there was one guy who's fine was 500 he then said to the judge I have only got 250 the judge said "Ok not a prob pay your fine and leave, next case" ____________________ ◙◙► K6 GSXR 600 ◄◙◙◙◙► K5 GSXR 1000 ◄◙◙◙◙► K5 GSXR 600 ◄◙◙◙◙► 96 RF600r ◄◙◙
