I think you are a ridiculous bastard that should have learned his lesson not to interfere with the cops and be a dumb asshole after the first beatdown.
Are you looking to get other people beat up too by encouraging them to be as dumb as a fuck as yourself when it comes to respecting the law officers?

Cigars: “The cops are becoming militarized sooooo much in this country it’s just crazy.”

You’re not wrong. Watching video from the RNC, the police looked like a cross between Judge Dredd and something from 1930s Germany. It needs to change.

I fixed it but I don’t know what the issue was. I was just seeing an empty white space but when I opened it up in Safari, I saw it fine.

Either way, it’s up.

I’m using Firefox 3 and can view the embedded video with no problems.

Hawkeye, you are wrong.

The day a citizen cannot record the police doing their business is a tragic day for democracy.

I have tremendous respect for most police officers, but the ones like this give them all a bad name.

You know, on every site documenting these outrageous abuses against our civil liberties, you get these “she DESERVED it!” comments from cops and the agents of government. The economic disaster and the civil unrest that is sure to follow was anticipated years ago and these boorish, unthinking dolts are being trained to hurt and attack citizens as often as possible to frighten them into absolute obedience to “authority”.
As a citizen who believes in the governing principals of the constitution, I intend to protect my rights by whatever means are necessary, especially since these thugs have no compunction about lying under oath in court. Apparently, the days of government legitimacy on every level are over; police have become the paid agents of corporate force, and citizens should re-read the constitution NOW and resolve not to be grist for the mill.

Well although I don’t agree entirely I do believe that generally police try to do what is best for the people. She might have been impeding, maybe not. I will wait for the inquiry.
And as for you Mr Rodriguez this is not a police state. It’s when we don’t hear about the abuse is when I get worried.

Hawkeye,

If you believe everything that is ever written in a police report, then I suggest you check out the video in the following post.

Or even my arrest report, which contradicts itself and police later testified that they had made a “mistake” when they said they escorted me to the middle of the road.

I don’t believe for a minute this woman opened the police car door. That would be a stupid thing to do and this woman has too much experience to do something like that.
