These are from this week alone. It's astonishing. The first case comes out of arizona, police **** up a pastor who did nothing wrong.

The Pastor telling the story
or
Actual footage of the event

The second case comes at the end of a high speed chase. The suspect ends up giving himself up, but that doesn't stop the good ole protectors of american justice.

****ing pigs.

Next time I do something real ****ed and people look down on me I'll just link them to this thread.

There actions don't excuse your actions.

[Drizzy Drake]

Who does my pot smoking harm?

[TheEnglishman]

I would usually side with the police, but I can't support them in these two cases, at least not from the video footage shown.
There were questions asked about police brutality during the G20 summit, but it wasn't anything as bad as this.

[Drizzy Drake]

Cops are so fucking stupid; they couldn't even figure out that I-- wait, fuck that, not getting into that here. Here guys, have a cake.

[Legolastom]

Also what crappy news channel shows live footage of police chases OH WAIT!

[Drizzy Drake]

I`d like to meet these cops. I`d like to see them give me their power-tripped little smirks. I`d like to meet them in Canada where they have no authority.

I remember the 'have I got news for you" joke about that.
"This is the news about the police brutality at the G20 summit, but you can't really blame. If you give them whistles and day-glow jackets, they're going to out clobbin'."

...


But yeah, some police officers are asshats, but let's remember that they're not all like that. So like coz said, their misbehaviour doesn't excuse your own misbehaviour.

[Drizzy Drake]

If cops can use their authority to beat the fuck out of suspects have STOPPED running (Rodney King anybody) and get away with it then not a part of me is going to feel bad if I beat somebody down, or steal shit from them.

[Split Infinity]

Not all police are corrupt, dumbass, calm the feck down...

[Legolastom]

But many take advantage of their situation.

[TheEnglishman]

I wouldn't say many do. Were the problem widespread, then it would be seen on the news more and action would have to be taken.

EDIT - Me111 are you really that ignorant? You think every case of police brutality would make the news? Some two-bit con says a cop tossed him around for nothing and the cop says nothing happened, or it was justified, who do they believe? Look at rapes, how many are reported compared to how many are actually commited? Just because you don`t see it happening doesn`t mean it doesn`t fucking happen.

[Quacnar]

Skidz your missing the point. What the police in these videos did was clearly wrong and corrupt, but it doesn't mean that ALL police are these evil, violent beings. Also, when you go into the field of law enforcement, I can't imagaine that your intention would be to become someone corrupt and abusive. The people who serve our country in the police force should be respected and not completely written off because some do not properly do their job. Lastly, one man goes off on a killing spree and kills 30 and that gives you the right to.....rob a bank? How does that make any sense?

Perhaps that may be the case where you live but over here, if anyone accused the police of hurting them, and had a reasonable case, it would be on the news.

[Aquamarine]

I ****ing hate policemen and the whole organisation. They're bigger criminals and thugs than the people usually considered to be so.

But see you wouldnt be able to tell who was corrupt and who isnt. I dont want to put my life in the hands of somebody who might not give two ****s if I live or not. They arent gonna gain my respect purely because they passed a few tests. Ive personally had cops not gone corrupt on me, but been abusive of their authority so dont sit here and say I cant write off the entire police force. Ièm obviously not, but I just dont think cops should automatically be held as the highest members of society and have more power than the fucking prime minister.

Well they aren't and they don't. Problem solved without there actually being a problem.

So Stephen Harper could walk up to a guy who had given themselves up, kick the guy in the face, then knee him in the back, and get away with it? Nope.

Because obviously the only way cops gone bad can be prosecuted is by walking up to them and kicking them.

[Drizzy Drake]

That wasn`t the fucking point.
