vartian: what kind of dickbag do you have to be where your first reaction is to strike someone in the face?

A cop.

You are quite right. If this had been a case of legitimate brutality the victims body would shut itself down in such a way to make it imperious to pain or injury.

Looks like the cop was dropping his left. There's no excuse for that at this level.

One Bad Apple: whyRpeoplesostupid:


BTW cold clocks

Isn't it cold cocks?

For all intensive purposes they mean the same thing

Don't worry about it. They were just trying to make you an escape goat.

Everyone who thinks the cop did something wrong is a racist son of a biatch.

oh wait, wrong fight.

/ police brutality, the insulting muhammad of america.

vartian: GAT_00: A cop.

Kind of set that one up, eh?

A tad. I wasn't about to let it go to waste though.

Langdon_777: FarkinHostile: clyph: Do you admit that doing so would likely effectively end your career and earn you the undying hatred of your "brother" cops?

If you said 'no' to either, YOU are still part of the problem.

So, just how is committing career suicide and making hundreds of powerful enemies gonna solve the problem? You think all of a sudden everybody is going to start burning down their co-workers/buddies from now on if he were to do such a thing? No, human nature would kick in, the thin blue line will rally the wagons, and nothing would change. Go ahead, buck the system hard at your job, see what happens. Making enemies of the guys who watch your back is stupid and accomplishes nothing but to ruin his own life.

I don't like it either, but you don't want policemen, you want police robots. You can't expect people to ignore their own self interest. It's silly, no matter what the idealism behind it.

Cameras on the uniform is the way to help solve this. Civilians with cameras also. Record EVERYTHING when it comes to police.

Ya know that is what we pay them for!

That is what they swear to do!

Enforce the law without FEAR OR FAVOUR!!!!!

I study history, a lot. That scenario has never happened, as far as I can tell.

It's a perk.

LeGnome: Your point is valid, but sometimes the ball does roll the other way: http://www.pixiq.com/article/cop-caught-on-video-kicking-woman-in-head -on-trial

Uh, what was the outcome of the trial.

I'll assume 3-months paid vacation to include PTSD counseling after being attacked so brutally, followed by a "Cop of the Year" award.

Union president John McNesby has obviously taken care of the situation by eating both the cop and the woman for breakfast today:

I'm glad the video was put out on the internet. It really aligns well with what I've come to expect from people and police.

See, the thing about police brutality nobody (except cops) wanna talk about is that, in nearly every case, the person deserved *something*. Maybe not a punch in the face - but seriously - what the hell is wrong with this woman. You've got a bunch of guys in their clean and pressed uniforms and you're going to walk up and spray them in the face with silly string? That's a giant dick move.

I remember everyone talking about Rodney King back in the day. Nobody ever mentioned how the other black guy in the car got out and didn't lead the cops on a high speed chase and how he didn't get beat. But no, everyone talked about the race thing and how cops in LA hated black people.

Did the girl deserve to get punched in the face? Eh. Probably. To be perfectly honest. If it were two guys at a bar - a lot more of you would be like 'Haha! Serves him right!'. Some douchbag sprays silly string in your face; you punch him. That's life. People would call him a hero. Make it a girl...well....even with the best of intentions this country is still sexist as hell. Women's rights only extends in the direction we all think it should. Not in the 'true equality' sense. Women are still considered more weak and more frail.

Then make the other guy a cop? And now everyone wants to hate them.

I know, I know, people are going to call me a troll, which is fine. I also realize that this is a POTENTIALLY slippery slope. But at the end of the day, I'm really okay with living in a world where if you act like a complete douchbag you might get punched in the face.

Sadly, what will probably happen is that she'll get a few hundred k worth of tax payer money. Now, instead of being a deterrent, more people are going to actively seek this crap out. I'd LOVE to get a huge payday for going around and being a dick until someone punches me.

MaudlinMutantMollusk: Douchebag should be in jail on assault charges

As should she be

GAT_00: vartian: what kind of dickbag do you have to be where your first reaction is to strike someone in the face?

A cop.

Its odd you hate cops yet love the drug war.

In before anyone suggests hearing the officer's side of the story.

/I think the woman's movements just before she turned to leave suggest she may have done something to provoke the response

Cop 1, woman 0!

/Better luck next time.

ExperianScaresCthulhu: Cop is in the wrong for the sucker punch. HOWEVER,

FTFA: Many point out that the young women simply threw some water from her bottle or sprayed silly string, others point to the fact that it was actually someone else out of shot who threw the substance that hit the officers.

There is no 'simply threw some water or sprayed silly string'.

There is no simply, when it comes to throwing shiat at someone else.

You don't throw shiat at someone else. That is assault.
It doesn't matter what is in the bottle.
You don't throw shiat at someone else.
You especially don't throw shiat at a fking cop.

I say call it even, then call it a day. They're both assholes.

I hope your mom gets punched the same way by a large black man (and not your dad this time).

She was jumping around behind them, yelling and throwing some kind of liquid on them. Then when they turned around she started to run. Granted she didn't get far but she was making the attempt.

Most people are smart enough to know that is just asking for trouble.

But now the public will cry racism or something like that and cause the police to apologize for doing their jobs.

In the officer's defense, she did appear to mouthy, plus look at the way she was dressed...she was asking for it.

de_Selby: The cop in question: [i.imgur.com image 400x273]

A real winner. Entered himself in the Philadelphia Daily Mail's Sexy Singles competition a few years back, saying he was "sick of meeting women that act like girls." He has shot a guy dead breaking up a robbery, and got stabbed in the back in a bar fight, while off duty.

I'd say he has issues.


I'd... I'd do him. We might have to argue over top and bottom, like I mean wrestle around in an angry way and seize each other with our strong thigh muscles and roll over and over until , but yeah. i could knock out that ashy skin with a little coco oil and some intensity, just sayin'.

AbbeySomeone: The most f*cked up thing is he'll still get laid even after this is broadcast.

Yeah - by his boyfriends.

To protect and finally get even for being called dumb in HS.

She was obviously attacking his fist with the back of her head.

willfullyobscure: fark tha police but fark this stupid biatch even more. What's the rule about "stupid" again? i can't remember but it CERTAINLY applies here. Good for this cop for showing some restraint. 50 years ago, she would have had a cracked skull or worse...oh, wait, 50 years ago, they didn't let the zoo animals out to have a block party that needed the cops to come and save women from being raped and men from being killed(and raped)

Thunderpipes: cman: 35 posts and not one mention of blaming a political side.

We are getting better, guys. Lets keep this up

Cops are usually union controlled, and are solidly Democratic, so there is that. All the cop hate here, and what you are hating on is your boys.

That's the stuff.
