This photo sums up the police better than any other!!!

[Logical]

Piece of Shit cop smugly walks along and pepper sprays non-resisting protesters. And I bet they laughed about it over drinks later. And people on the DU still wonder why the hatred of the police.

"So I want to be very clear in calling upon the Egyptian authorities to refrain from any violence against peaceful protestors. The people of Egypt have rights that are universal. That includes the right to peaceful assembly and association, the right to free speech, and the ability to determine their own destiny. These are human rights. And the United States will stand up for them everywhere."

5. That oinker can occupy my nutsack.

Wait, my nutsack is too good for that fucker.

6. I 100% agree!

7. The spiritual heir to Tom "Bugman" Delay.. n/t

8. That smug piece of shit is Lt. john Pike of the UC Davis Campus Police...

Hopefully in near future the "former Lt. of the UC Davis"....

Smug piece of shit looks like a fat sadistic coward who first presented the canister like a sommelier presenting a bottle of wine before serving.... And then he walks back and forth pointing it and sweeping it at their faces.....

Hope everyone in the Davis community sees this picture and he becomes the poster boy of the "Cops who are Mercenaries for the 1%"...

:grr:

9. Has that cop been ID yet?

[Prometheus Bound]

18. Yes. Likely won't be getting a lot of respect on campus from now on.

10. Not. All. Police.

...and I'll assume you meant the bad ones in the barrel, not all of them.

But in fairness to the group, to the rest:

16. Good point. But I think it is 1 in a 100 who do the right thing! n-t

[Brigid]

20. Ah, yes. Captain Lewis.

Who would probably like to fly out to CA and beat the crap out of Pike for besmirching the profession.

12. Gestapo, Germany 1934, under the administration of the SS leader Heinrich Himmler. n/t

13. Two things you need to know about this photos

that guy is a LIEUTENANT... which probably means a lot of his officers said NO SIR...

Lieutenants do not do this shit, usually.

I know that piece of the context does matter.

[Logical]

15. Wow, good point. Thanks for the info! Maybe he thought it would be fun!

[nadinbrzezinski]

17. It has nothing to do with fun

it is a crack... a not so visible one, but it is one.

Defections in law enforcement happen in ways like this as long as the revolution, wherever it happens to be, keeps the moral high ground.

14. You Have To Wonder... If It Is That Easy To Gas Our Fellow Citizens...

as if they were common cockroaches...

Well... you know the rest of the question.

19. His Face

Did you see later on, when he shook the two empty pepper spray canisters and shook his head?

Like he couldn't believe they didn't work.

True idealism beating dogmatic behavior.

It was pretty amazing. I never I thought I see something like that again.

[Change has come]

21. Welcome to DU

Glad to have you here. :hi:

[GliderGuider]

23. This is the OWS' "Gandi Moment".

It was inevitable, as long as the movement remained non-violent in the face of escalating provocation. This moment has now taken on a life of its own.

Well done, UCD students!

Oh, and thanks so much for the photo-op, Lt. Pike...

[HopeHoops]

24. He reminds me of the dickhead leader of the humans in the last Planet of the Apes movie.

The original series of movies, of course. The "just get rid of them" attitude is clear on this guy's face, even through the helmet. How the hell could he do this without knowing everyone would take a picture or video and post it on the net? :wtf:

[onethatcares]

25. he's clearly trapped, surrounded and under great duress

you can tell by the smirk on his face he's in fear for his life and is praying for reinforcements to arrive soon.

27. I see 11 people taking photos who should have been busting that Pig's head

Look at those people just taking pictures as if it was a rare bird on the lawn or a cat doing a fucking trick. They should have rushed over and busted that fucking pig's head and if they got themselves beaten and tossed in jail for it then good for them.

There are two problems in this picture - one is the cop and he needs to be found and dealt with, but the far larger problem is the crowd who seems to see it as a great photo op rather than a cause for action.

[alcibiades_mystery]

31. The photos ARE the "busting of the" head

Don't you get it yet?

[Mendocino]

28. A useful idiot of

corporate masters.

29. +1

[MindPilot]

30. Last time some guy "gassed his own people" we went to war over it.

At least that was _one_ of the reasons...

[ladjf]

32. This is torture. I thought it was illegal in America. nt
