I am wondering whether there were other people in the close vicinity who could have also stepped in to help out the innocent man. Seems to me the time is well overdue that people should step in and not allow these crimes.

Also, I'm puzzled about the charge of undue force - surely this is plain assault>

There's another thread started today with similar scenes of unjustified police assault. It is becoming endemic.

That's an amazing parrallel drawn to the state of quality of the services provided by our governments. The only thing they stay up to speed on is writing tickets and code violations. The protect and serve budget has become nonexistant.

The quality of every service is dropping off a cliff, but there are still some who are sure that some services are immune to this trend.

It's always good to be nice to the police. After all they are not bad people and they are your only hope, but it's absurd to see people glorify them so absurdly. Really if the police saw someone counting their blessings and singing their praises... they probably laugh when they see that, they themselves know they aren't THAT great.

The guy did witness the crime and openly stated he would go to trial in the driver's defense..


A star for such an excellent legal point! Very well thought.


Unfortunately, this just highlights how society really is run these days. That's one good thing about having cameras everywhere.

more and more cameras are catching these thugs abusing their "authority"
we are just civilians to them- not citizens due some degree of respect.
the police have been steadily militarized along with other agencies.
like the CDC IRS FBI ATF CIA DHS FEMA NSA etc.
they are encouraged to be aggressive, some are on steroids.
if you are unfortunate and fall in their clutches -well - lotsa luck.
i have an old friend from denver who told me about a fight
he had in the holding cell with the cops- took alot of them to subdue him
and he got in alot of licks..but the rod of correction comes down..
in all my interactions with cops i fared relatively ok. keep it professional.
they can always find something amiss-
like it's their job or something..

But according to your ideals of anarchy, this is perfectly acceptable behavior. See now the "victim" can sue the cops. So what's the big deal, it's your perfect world in realization!

I would figured you would be happy about this.

So America...what good is the 2nd Amendment when you never take advantage of it?

Why take our guns away when we never use them anyway???

So Ironic!


You dont understand.
There never was a militia.

Here she comes, my love,

my love she comes.
She cares.
I do not ask her why she cares,

The Rise and the Fall



He's a king, he's a poor boy,
a tower in a stream,
see him standing there so all alone
well I guess he'll keep standing there,
until he's called for
and tomorrows hurricanes have blown

its his fate through old
another story told
He found no trust to call his own

His way was lost
his spirit was the cost,
he couldn't make up for the loan

But many brave men are returning,
back to the place where it began
and all our fires are still burning,
when the devils faults lay parching in the sands
and the nightman is waiting at the station,
gathered on the steps one by one
I suggest, that you make a reservation,
before all these things are done

upon high the blues
his life was filled with pain
when he heard the news
he lost a line in vain
someone went for word
his house went up in flames
they didn't need the smoke
to show the cops the blame

all your secrets
they've all been told
playing in your Scarlet and your Gold

He's a king, he's a poor boy,
a tower in a stream,
see him standing out there so all alone
well I guess he'll keep standing there,
until he's called for
and tomorrows hurricanes have blown

But many brave men are returning
back to the place where it began
and our fires are still burning
when the devils faults lay parching in the sands
and the nightman is waiting at the station,
gathered on the steps one by one
I suggest, that you make a reservation
before all these things are done

As you can see in the full vid the reason they arrest him is that he tries to take a picture of the cop. Probably to file a suit or report him so he wants to have evidence. Everything is fine untill the point he tries that. They also quite clearly are going for the cell phone and try with force to take it from his hands. That's what the struggle part is, he refuses to let go of the cell phone and into the pavement he goes.

In some states it's illegal to take pics or film police while they are on duty. So if this is one of the states that supports that law then they can get away with it.

Colorado isn't one of those states. So no, they can't get away with it, what they did was unconstitutional.

There's always rotten apples my man. You're going to a hard time if you're going to lose your cool over these incidents. Check out what's happening in the war zones as we speak.

It's 2010 now. Cyberpunk anyone?

You know, of course, one bad apple dpesn't spoil the whole barrel.

But it DOES affect those that might want to dig into that barrel.

Come on po po, and those affliated with them, change my perception.

That is, if you give a damn.

No excuses, speak up! And do the right thing. Otherwise, us commoners must speak out, and we can't rely upon you to do the right thing. And from the looks of things, we will go down in flames,

And you will, if you are lucky, get your pension, and the rest of us? Just potential criminals.

Actually it's not illegal anywhere.

[Edit to add] If you think otherwise feel free to post the law.

I was going to send the Denver police an e-mail stating my disgust, and a link to the video, but alas it seems they don’t have any E-mail addresses.

I wholeheartedly agree with the OP. However, I do not understand why this is the #2 topic on the front page, as if things much much worse than this don't occur every few seconds. I would continue, but I think my point speaks for itself. Does anybody disagree?


Cheers,

I am sure we'll soon have some apologists who'll say they were justified or give us the "few bad apples" excuse. We all know this is SOP for modern "law enforcement." Given the chance, most cops are swift to act criminally.

You should keep watching these videos until it sinks into your head that the government is not your friend.

Police are revenue collection agents, they are not your protectors.

This entire event was precipitated because the pirates were out to shake down a motorist who had harmed no one.

I tell people that all the time, the Pigs are not here for our protection, nor do they serve us, they serve the local corporation branches known as cities.

ITS SICK

I want to know if I will get into trouble when I shoot a cop because I am in fear of my life, I mean after being beaten myself by police, (4 broken ribs, stitches and cuts) for being a passenger in a car and not willing to produce ID. (By the way they "lost" the DUI tape so my friend got off with a reckless, I won $22k from the city when I settled out of court) I am in fear for my life when the police are around. I will use equal force when they come at me, I will shoot and kill a police officer without a moments hesitation if I or my family are threatened. They can and will kill you if they get the chance, it has happened here where I live.

Police beatings that ended in death.

I am sick of these psychopaths, all steroided up and out for revenge for having short penises or no penis in the sow's cases.

Check this out... Wonderful stuff.

I mean who what kind of person wakes up and says.. "Hey I want to be an asshole for a living, I want to steal from people and incarcerate my fellow man. I want to make money for the government, I want to be a DICK HEAD everyday I go to work."

REMEMBER friends, they are human so attacking the eyes, nose, and throat are your best shots at taking these guys down, and the testicles if/when you can find them.

(This is the most negative post I have ever written but I feel very negative about this. ITS SICK and people need to help end it, if not it could be you, or your wife or child being brutalized. Remember this?
