Your otherworldy defense of this testosterone front loaded, authoritarian animal is proof that being “conservative” is no guarantee of sanity or character. I wonder if I see a blue line.
Either way, it is frightening that anyone could justify that kind of unwarranted brutality with a straight face. No wonder cops have turned into such brutes right before our eye.
But, hey, if you're such a bad a** and are itching to prove it to the cops, my advice is that you go to the next crowd control situation where you see cops involved and YOU start some crap with them. Go ahead, pick the weakest cop you see. Then you'll have all opportunity you so desperately want to demonstrate your badness to them. Go ahead, Mr. Bad A**, show us all how tough you are. (Yeah, right. All blow, no go. Typical cop hater.)
I think I see a red stripe. What are you doing here when DU would be so welcoming?
What I would really like to say to you would probably get me banned here at FR.
Everything I said was the truth. You’ve exhibited all the sensitivity to it a typical leftist would.
Thank goodness the FBI and US Justice Dept were able to see the video, the pictures, and talk to everyone involved and come to the conclusion that a crime has been committed here. Unless you were personally involved in this, my suggestion would be for to shut up!

Buwahahaha!
Stop...yer killing me.
No, jackboot thug authoritarianism is not the mark of conservatism. I think YOU’RE in the wrong place. Maybe YOU should try DU...or stormfront.
The above is quite a performance. You are quite in your own sad little world.
I have no desire to prove anything to anyone. I don't think I am particularly tough in comparison some of the people I know. In fact I'd guess I never really have faced down an actual tough guy in my life AND THAT WAS MY POINT.
As I wrote and you completely missed: I don't offer attitude to cops (or anyone else). I don't disrespect cops (or anyone else) without (real) cause. I don't START trouble with cops (or anyone else). WTF a “crowd control situation” has to do with anything is beyond me. And that silly crap about picking on “the weakest cop” there may have made some kind of sense back in 1950 but today the “weakest cop” there WOULD ACTUALLY BE PRETTY DAMN PATHETIC.
You have answered both posts with remarks that have nothing much to do with what was written. Get out of your delusional world and into the real one before you lose track of where the portal is. (Judging by the last three sentences in your semi psychotic rant I'd say that danger is real).
Hey, dippy... He hasn’t been convicted yet. Until he is, I suggest YOU shut up.
Yeah, tough guy, no sissy-boy with a badge has the balls to follow through with you, right, you're so damned bad. He wouldn't dare.
I suggest you check your own delusions. (And do try to keep in mind what you've said from sentence to sentence. That would help a lot.)
Yes, kneejerk hatred of the cops is a mark of liberalism, and you qualify. In spades.
And people wonder why I do not trust police.

That is a wise decision, my FRiend.
Cop hater = someone winning an argument with an authoritarian street thug.
Knee jerk defense of Statist authoritarian street dogs, dispensing brutality on the plebes who’d better watch their fracking Ps & Qs if they know what is good for them, is the mark of a Communist or National Socialist, and you qualify in spades.
No, dippy, a cop-hater is someone who hates cops. That's you. Next time you need one, have the decency to tell him what you think of him before you accept his assistance.
And we all know what happens when they come to help. We've seen the evidence right here.
George Orwell wrote a lot about your ilk and the kind of police state you advocate. "Though not yet full-grown, they were huge dogs, and as fierce-looking as wolves. They kept close to Napoleon. It was noticed that they wagged their tails to him in the same way as the other dogs had been used to do to Mr. Jones. Four young porkers in the front row uttered shrill squeals of disapproval, and all four of them sprang to their feet and began speaking at once. But suddenly the dogs sitting round Napoleon let out deep, menacing growls, and the pigs fell silent and sat down again."
No simian, I don't hate cops. I don't know any! The street thugs I see daily bear no resemblance to the police of my youth.
There are very few police officers in this country anymore. They are all adult adolescents, stuck in a state of arrested development, with authoritarian complexes, too much testosterone, and in perpetual "do as your told" mode. They are children with body armor, black uniforms, shaved heads, and pimped out Dodge Chargers just looking for trouble.
Hooligans with a gun and a badge.
And the fact that you defend them in the execution of their crimes tells me you are just one of them. One of the very self same that Orwell warned us all about. Anyone who could defend what that animal did to that poor woman is deranged...or an incurable sadist with a lust for power.
Why not just walk away. Go rent a copy of "Clockwork Orange" and enjoy yourself.
So you are saying there is no right to form an opinion / express an opinion freedom on this subject until after the cop gets convicted?
In any event I would say that if one of was caught doing that it would pretty much be an instant no-questions conviction. Why doesn't the same rule apply to the police officer in this video?No, dippy, a cop-hater is someone who hates cops. That's you. Next time you need one, have the decency to tell him what you think of him before you accept his assistance.
The problem is they sometimes show up even if you didn't call them. Then they don't exactly go away if you tell them they are not wanted.
I think the police officer's actions show a certain mindset. The us (police) vs them (citizens) mindset. A good mindset for the police to have in a police state, but not in a free society.
At least the video is out, and the case will be going to trial, and the woman may get some or all of her $11.3 Million.

As for me, if I thought I was dealing with people / police officers who I talk to as one human being to another, and whom I could trust, instead of someone who was just looking for a reason to get physical and/or arrest me for saying / doing something / anything wrong, we could have an open and honest communication.
But since unfortunately that seems to be out the window, it is probably best to follow the advice of people such as the ACLU when it comes to police / citizen interactions:
1. What you say to the police is always important. What you say can be used against you, and it can give the police an excuse to arrest you, especially if you badmouth a police officer.
2. You must show your driver's license and registration when stopped in a car. Otherwise, you don't have to answer any questions if you are detained or arrested, with one important exception. The police may ask for your name if you have been properly detained, and you can be arrested in some states for refusing to give it. If you reasonably fear that your name is incriminating, you can claim the right to remain silent, which may be a defense in case you are arrested anyway.
3. You do not have to consent to any search of yourself, your car or your house. If you DO consent to a search, it can affect your rights later in court. If the police say they have a search warrant, ASK TO SEE IT.
4. Do not interfere with, or obstruct the police, as you you can be arrested for it.
Remember:
Think carefully about your words, movement, body language, and emotions.
Do not get into an argument with the police.
Anything you say or do can be used against you.
Keep your hands where the police can see them.
Do not run. Do not touch any police officer.
Do not resist even if you believe you are innocent.
Do not complain on the scene or tell the police they are wrong or that you are going to file a complaint.
Do not make any statements regarding the incident.
Ask for a lawyer immediately upon your arrest.
Remember officer badge & patrol car numbers.
Write down everything you remember ASAP.
Try to find witnesses & their names & phone numbers.
If you are injured, take photographs of the injuries as soon as possible, but make sure you seek medical attention first.
