Well done, students. Well done.

Awk-ward..

If a population becomes bullied or intimidated out of exercising rights offered on paper, those rights effectively cease to exist. Every time the citizenry watches peaceful protesters getting pepper-sprayed - or hears that an Occupy protester suffered brain damage and almost died after being shot in the skull with a rubber bullet - many become increasingly fearful of participating in this citizen movement, and also become fearful in general of exercising their rights in a way that is bothersome or threatening to those in power. That's a natural response, and it's exactly what the climate of fear imposed by all abusive police state actions is intended to achieve: to coerce citizens to "decide" on their own to be passive and compliant - to refrain from exercising their rights - out of fear of what will happen if they don't.

You know what I oddly find sad about this? As a kid, I always looked up to law enforcement and still consider applying to be a cop from time to time. I always considered police to be heroes, but the more I see this crap and the more the departments struggle to protect their officers after they get caught, the more I feel like the wind has been taken out of my sales.

Yeah, maybe that sounds naive or behind-the-curve, but there's something depressing about seeing the extent to which so many of the people you admired as a kid turned out to be assholes. I really don't think they even realize just how badly they're hurting themselves and their own image either.

Almost $400k/year makes for some restful slumber

I don't think she slept well.

Last night she was phone interviewed on CNN. She wouldn't shut up long enough for Don Lemon to ask any questions. He had to shut her down a few times. She called the cops out and furiously began to backpedal on the decision as soon as she heard the negative press. I don't know what she thought cops in riot gear were going to do(frankly what they did was very minimal on the scale of things they could've done).

She shouldn't lose her job over this but she certainly didn't endear herself to anyone on that campus this weekend.

Nicely done.

Ennuipoet: I watched this and got chills. That is how you shame someone, utter silence. I am in awe of how the students of UC Davis have comported themselves. Gandhi and King would be proud.

Yes....powerful.

FerneJohn: ...wind has been taken out of my sales sails...

Derp. Spelling helps.

Bravo. I think we need an encore.

What do you do when you're branded, when you fight for your name?

She should have done a little dance number during her walk, see if she could get a few snickers.

/good job students though.

That was a very powerful video.

Me too. That right there is why there is almost never such thing as a bloodless revolution. You literally have to murder the douchiness out of some people.

This woman is a moronic twit, but how about we jail the worthless cop that committed unwarranted assault on a couple of dozen peaceful protesters? "Administrative leave" my ass.

Powerful stuff. She goes from smug to solemn in 10 steps.

You could feel her shame in that video.

Strip him of his badge and execute him. That should be that standard procedure for any lawbreaking on the half of government employees from paperpushers to goddamn senators.

Ah good. More Sunday nite trollbait™.

Should we do a drinking or smoking game?

whidbey: Ah good. More Sunday nite trollbait™.

Should we do a drinking or smoking game?

Why not both?

/brand, p b.

Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of Heaven,
You can justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day,
On the bloody morning after....
One tin soldier rides away.

While all his buddies stood there and protected him.
