This thread title is such bullshit. You're better than this Wuf.

[wufwugy]

It's called sarcasm. At least post the followup that shows the video was edited, and the cop wasn't actually acting corruptly

Also, this is the second time I've been accused of "being better than this". I'm hyperbolic and reactionary on a regular basis. Any appearance of me being "better" is that I change opinions based on new logic and evidence, not that I'm somehow better at being right and smart on initial reactions and thoughts


Besides, "criminal" justice is enormously corrupt, and there really isn't much difference between cops turning a blind eye to the corruption in their midst than Catholic church personnel or attendees turning a blind eye to boy rape. Like it or not, the analogy fits; it's just that everybody believes "criminal justice" personnel are inherently better people with better motives and above much of the law and ethical conduct standards

I have a bone to pick with things like the thousands of American heroes who have been abused by Government Assault and Battery Officers in the whole Occupy movement, so I see this video and go "hey this could be fun"


Now let's go watch American television where every other show glorifies some good ol boys beating the fuck out of poor people. Then we can wonder why conventional wisdom in this country is that we need a war state, need a prison state, and anybody against this either needs to get a job or stop whining

Shady thread wuf, your credibility just dropped a notch.

[wufwugy]

Actually my credibility went up. Who else would make a statement then reform that based on new information in a matter of hours? I already post way too much as is. Should probably put a stop to that

[boost]

I am more upset about the title being misleading than the video posted being misleading. I was elated to open this thread, thinking that some serious shit was going down and that hordes of cops were on "our side."

[kiwiMark]

This is almost as bad as that time I thought I was gonna get to be your best man and then instead I had to look at pictures of chicks who have become fat.

[Monty3038]

Totally off subject I think your sig sucks wuf... take those shoes off that poor puppy.

[BennyLaRue]

Actually my credibility went up.

You judging your own credibility makes your credibility go down.

[d0zer]

kiwi's credibility just keeps going up and up, and as for wuf's credibility...wat?

[BennyLaRue]

Just understand that as a Kiwi, his credibility is capped at Jemaine Clement.

[wufwugy]

You judging your own credibility makes your credibility go down.

What if I judge the credibility of your judgement of my decreased credibility?

[BennyLaRue]

What if I judge the credibility of your judgement of my decreased credibility?

It makes no sound.

[OngBonga]

I'll save your cred wuf by posting in your thread.

[a500lbgorilla]

Wah-uh guys, it looks like wufwugy's (WUF) cred stock is positioned to take a huge dive. Everyone would be wise to distance themselves from OngBonga (OBO) who has partnered with the sinking ship. Might I recommend kiwiMark (KWM)? Open, inviting, friendly plus New Zealand is like Canadian Australia.

FWIW I knew before clicking that the thread title was sarcastic and so I was rather satisfied by the contents within, as they both lived up to expectations ,proved my hunch correct and were informative all at once.

Obviously this, I don't get why so much wufwugy hate all of a sudden?

[eugmac]

Ya so let's get this thing back on track with "Cops are Pigs".

Got this via the Facebook social reader for the Guardian. Not exactly cutting edge news but I find it amazing this shit is still happening (and from the looks of things not improving or even getting worse?):

of course it's not unprecendented:
Police Brutality: 14 yr old girl Tasered in the Head NM - YouTube

Not like any of this is shocking these days, but the thing is, it SHOULD be. We're so ridiculously desensitized to the most heinous of violations that it's become commonplace and ordinary. Where the fuck are we headed with all this?
