Cell Phone Video Shows Police Choking, Kicking 6th Graders
Source: Gawker dot com
On Tuesday, the Boynton Beach, Fla. police department released two student-shot cell phone videos that show police officers detaining two sixth graders who'd reportedly just been removed from a school bus. In one video, an officer appears to put a student in a chokehold; in another, an officer kicks a student in the back of the leg, causing the student to fall.

(2,606 posts)They have the mentality (and I would bet it is based on their training) that if a person is unarmed, a nightstick works.
If they have a stick (or knife), go for the gun.
If they have a gun, then get 10 cops with guns.
If they have an AR-15 bring in the armored personnel carrier they got from the military.
I'm not saying to roll over, but that kind of resistance is a quick way to get dead, unless your on the right wing. Then it seems to be OK.

Cops are the bad guys.

(7,234 posts)...Cops are always picking on the weakest and most defenseless because they are bully gangs. Its always five on one, one on a little girl and they love busting down the wrong person's door then leaving without saying sorry.
Its a government gang but one day they're going to do this stuff to the wrong person and all hell is going to break loose.
Long gone are the days of the community cop who would give a homeless man a buck, these days its a paramilitary force that views the American people as the enemy.
I can vividly recall a homeless man who would sit around and scream in the park but never bother anyone, sometimes the cop would come out, give him a chance to pick up his stuff and he would leave. No harm no foul but these days I have no doubt in my mind that he would have been a dead man.
They do not hesitate to kill homeless people these days.

It is clear they are obvious victims suffering from immigrant resentment and species-racism in Clark Kent's situation, for taking away superhero jobs from born and bred Amurikans. And of course the debilitating sickness of affluence in Bruce Wayne's case.
- So instead of being critical of them, we should give them a break and our sympathies and our munies, too also.
