- yakolev, on 06/21/2009, -44/+632Middle class Citizens from US and Western Europe, specially UK are begin to suffer now what poors or ethnic minories people from these own countries suffered for ages, not mention the most of population of other countries in the world.
So, no novelties for most of people that Police are Not here for the benefit of population but just to serve as watchdogs of elites and exhaust valve for mild psychopaths and sociopaths of society keeping them busy and under control working on police.
Time for wake and fight (on many ways) - andrewlotta, on 06/22/2009, -8/+551Why the ***** did he press down on her pressure point?
- Solkre, on 06/22/2009, -7/+510Wait, the police faces are fuzzed out but the civilians isn't? What's wrong with this picture.
- sladek, on 06/22/2009, -4/+383'Cause he's a power-crazed policeman with too much power just like all of the cops in videos like this
- wissler, on 06/22/2009, -11/+372Totalitarianism.
- RcFromTwitter, on 10/10/2009, -28/+378***** the police!
- Granfalloon, on 06/22/2009, -6/+347I think it has a lot to do with his tiny little penis.
- KnivesForRobots, on 06/22/2009, -4/+316Tell me about it. I live in Portland OR where no cop has ever been been charged with excessive force, EVER.
A couple years back 4 four cops beat an unarmed schizophenic man to death for public urination, right in front of a restaurant full of people. No charges. Cop shot an unarmed teen in the back and killed him right in front of his mom. No charges.
The problem is, the District Attorney that has to bring evidence before a grand jury, and only under public pressure, is on the same ***** side of the pigs.
I got a chance to ask a DA about this and she said that once a DA tries to bring up a cop on charges, every other cop on the force stops cooperating on all their other cases. At the time I was talking to her, she said a DA had just quit because no cop would talk to her or give her any information for any of her cases.
***** a buncha pigs. - 4degrees, on 06/22/2009, -0/+294they always fuzz out the criminal's face...
- xs11ax, on 06/22/2009, -10/+290who ordered the pig to hide his badge number and remain anonymous?
why was he trying to hide his identity in the first place?
does this go deeper then we realise? - ISellSigals, on 06/22/2009, -6/+254Disgraceful
- alfredscakes, on 06/22/2009, -1/+239Not sure how many cops I counted holding down 2 women but it was around 5-6. Absolutely no reason sure they were being 'lippy' but the police are supposed to demonstrate tolerance and calm. Should be charged with assualt and sacked. The women were hardly doing anything wrong demonstrating - unlike some of the recent scenes outside Westminster.
Makes you proud to be English - NOT:(( - DocHoliday22, on 06/22/2009, -2/+237Translation: US and UK citizens are realizing that they're being ***** over by the police.
- TheSkunkMonkey, on 06/22/2009, -10/+226I fear my local police more than any terrorist.
- Glenners, on 06/22/2009, -1/+205Police should NEVER be anonymous. POWER + ANONYMITY can only lead to abuse of power. YOU are here to protect and serve us!
- caveman84, on 06/22/2009, -11/+182she is lucky she werent being arrested by US cop, probably would have been tased and tackled several times.
- Dynamoo, on 06/22/2009, -2/+163BREAKING NEWS: Chinese government protests over UK "police state". Chinese premier Hu Jintao said that the treatment of British citizens by its own government clearly breaches their human rights. He said further "they are spied upon without reason, arrested without cause and their government shows no respect for their own domestic laws or those of the international community".
- jalew80, on 06/22/2009, -4/+139I wanted to believe that the police brutality of the past had ceased and we lived in a democratic society. Don't they learn from their awful mistakes? Obviously not, and they all looked so young, and never had to fight for anything in their lives. No understanding of the world or humanity.
- cJw314, on 06/22/2009, -1/+132To force her compliance? I still don't see what the big ***** deal was with her asking his ID... is that not her right?
- cmotdibbler, on 06/22/2009, -6/+133Looks like it is time to throw out that t-shirt that says "In heaven the police are British, the mechanics are German, lovers are French, etc.
- MacGyver2210, on 06/22/2009, -11/+109That's what she said?
- DocHoliday22, on 06/22/2009, -0/+97I hear news like this on a regular basis especially coming from The Guardian but what astounds me is that even after having video evidence of police acting outside the law, things like this raise some dust, but the dust settles quite rapidly and the police are left off the hook.
- marmotjmarmot, on 06/22/2009, -3/+99I hereby inform you under powers entrusted to me under Section 47,
Paragraph 7 of Council Order Number 438476, that Mr. Buttle, Archibald,
residing at 412 North Tower, Shangri La Towers, has been invited to
assist the Ministry of Information with certain enquiries. - slippeh, on 06/22/2009, -0/+95I wouldn't even say they were being lippy. She asked the police officer for his badge number, which he legally has to tell her (well it's like that in Canada, I assume it's like that in Britain but I am not sure), and when he refused to identify himself she asked her friend to take a picture so she can identify him later when she files a complaint.
Nothing wrong there. ***** the police in situations like these. - mccartyba, on 06/22/2009, -2/+90So... The police video-taped themselves doing this? Brilliant.
Imagine if the Rodney King officers had they're own video cameras back then. - Dynamoo, on 06/22/2009, -0/+84That would be satire ;)
- govsucks, on 06/22/2009, -4/+86How dare you question government authority!
- ayeroxor, on 06/22/2009, -2/+83True. The UK is the surveillance society that some wish the US was. This is what we can expect when we give the authorities greater power over those they are supposed to serve and protect. This is what we can expect when the authorities rile us up about "foreign threats" and say they need more power for OUR sake.
- porscheblack, on 06/22/2009, -0/+80A year ago in college I was stopped by a police officer after an "auxilliary" officer saw me arguing with my girlfriend (there was nothing physical at all, as I was simply walking away from her and she was following me and trying to talk). I was stopped because he reported on the radio that i had physically assaulted my girlfriend. The police officer that arrived detained me, and proceeded to question my girlfriend. After my girlfriend explained to her that I did not touch her at all and that I was trying to walk away from her because I was mad, the police officer finally came over to talk to me. When I was told the entire story, I demanded the auxilliary officer's information because I wanted to file a report (my father's a police officer and so i generally have more understanding, but the fabrication of assault which nearly got me arrested was too much)... when i requested his information the police officer flipped out on me and threatened to arrest me. Long story short, I still never got his information. This ***** is seriously ***** up and needs to be fixed. Any officer that fails to identify themself should be fired.
- krispykreams, on 06/22/2009, -0/+77Why are these incidents allowed to drag on for months without justice?! Discipline the officers or remove them from the force. This particular bunch of douchebags thinks they are somehow above the law, and that being aggravated somehow gives them the right to bend the rules. Such people should not be left responsible for public safety.
- Solkre, on 06/22/2009, -0/+75I would transfer my diggs to you if I could.
- dazparkour, on 06/22/2009, -3/+77Why? Look it up.
If they are not required to produce ID, how would you know it was a real cop or me telling you I'm a cop.
Scratch that.
Get on the ground and let me put cuffs on you. - Moralogic, on 06/22/2009, -1/+74Things like this need to be documented more. I know it happens far more times than we get documentation of it. There are police that are nice and just doing their jobs, but things like this are just stupid to ever happen. People like that have no business as police officers, and other police officers need to have the nuts to stand up for the civilians.
- wigren, on 06/22/2009, -2/+75I would bet it's for their protection. But, when the police need protecting it is a sad state.
- MasterPain, on 06/22/2009, -1/+69Or shot point blank in the back.
- wilc8650, on 06/22/2009, -11/+79You're an idiot.
- dazparkour, on 06/22/2009, -0/+66I'm in the UK - we get to see badge numbers and warrant cards.
Police officers are required to have their number showing around the top of their arms/shoulder.
There was an incident of a policeman hitting a woman on the back of the legs while covering his badge number. It was on Digg. Whether you place the blame on the woman or the cop for the fight - the cop was clearly in the wrong for covering his number and it should be an unforgivable offense.
No cop should deny us the right to check they are who they say they are and keep their job. Ever. It sets a bad precedent. It can only lead to "I'm a cop and not showing you a badge" fraud and police bullying.
If these people are not taken to task for this, be prepared to have your rights and your personal space invaded more and more until people are willing to stand up. - mu0p, on 06/22/2009, -1/+67This same exact thing happened to me, and I was put in prison, not jail, but prison for 3 days, had the orange suit and everything. The police officer arrived to a party and started screaming at the top of his lungs at a girl calling her names and saying "bi*** you dont know the f***ing law gtfo of my face!" and he was screaming right in her face, so I walked over to him and said "excuse me sir, thats no way to talk to a lady, and your language is completely out of line, may I see your badge number?" and the cop turns his head slowly towards me and looks at me like I just asked him to f**k his mother, and he picks me up by my shirt and says "thats it your under arrest" and I try to push his hands off me and say "wait what for?" and then he screams "RESISTING ARREST!" and he pulls out his tazer gun, and the little red laser points directly at me and I scream (yea, i screamed) and he shoots and misses and run into the house. We end up gathering everyone from the party into the house and lock all the doors, and all the cops are lined up outside in the backyard looking inside, so I jokingly say to everyone "glad thats over" and begin walking to the front and right as I open the door 6 cops come rushing in from the back and one hits my legs and my legs buckle and I fall to the floor, and 6 cops begin hitting me and saying "stop resisting" as they pinned me to the floor, one cops knee was shoving my head into the carpet and giving me one hell of a rug burn while others held down different parts of my body. I ended up getting arrested and when taken outside to a cop car, the cop whom I had asked his badge number says "Ill take this *****" and he throws me in the squad car, and about 5 minutes later we are off to the station. While in the car he keeps flexing his arms on the steering wheel and looking back at me as if he were going to kill me, then he says "Listen you little *****, when we get to the station you do exactly as I say, you got me?" and I said "yea whatever dude, just write me up lets get this over with" then he pulls the car over and turns off the car/radio and says "Thats it you piece of *****, you give me lip one more fuking time and I swear to god i'll beat the living ***** out of you" about then is when I said "uh oh" In my head I thought this cop was high off some uppers because he had something crazy about himself. In the station they start looking up all the charges they could lay on me, and then he says "ok toughguy, your going to prison" and i said "for resisting arrest?" and he laughed and said "yup" so I end up getting taken into san bernadino prison where the holding cell I waited in was 40 people over the limit, and you couldn't even sit, $15,000 bail, get released about 3 days later after being processed through the system and taken into an actual prison cell where there were about 40 inmates and 20 bunkbeds. So after the bail, the lawyer and al the other costs, I had to pay the court $2000, as well as 1 year probation, all over asking a cop his badge number :)
now whenever I get pulled over I pull out my shoe shine kit and smile :) - doug89, on 06/22/2009, -1/+66This kind of behaviour makes me wish that all police activity is recorded. You can imagine the number of times someone's complaints are dismissed because of lack of evidence. It would be great if technology got to the point where every police badge had a camera in it, and the footage was kept for 6 months, and missing footage would result in an internal investigation.
But I dream. - cJw314, on 06/22/2009, -5/+68"act respectful to the cops"?
I'm sorry, but simply "risking your life" to "protect my rights" (lol) isn't enough. If I see you protect me and/or my family, then perhaps you'll have earned my respect.
Just because you're wearing a uniform, however, and being paid by my tax money doesn't mean you automatically deserve my respect. - chepoxxx, on 06/22/2009, -0/+62In my country (Mexico) the local police are the terrorists.
- sharkd, on 06/22/2009, -0/+54Because it'll hurt more.
- RandomGorilla, on 06/22/2009, -1/+53Because he's a *****. A worthless bald fat pig of a *****.
- inactive, on 06/22/2009, -0/+52But you can still aspire to a German car, a Swiss watch, and a Russian wife.
- inactive, on 06/22/2009, -4/+54*Facepalm*
There hasn't been a Liberal government in the UK since David Lloyd George, you pillock. - jezsik, on 06/22/2009, -1/+51Well, the police are really the tools of the people in charge.
- Peach3s, on 06/22/2009, -19/+68totalitarianistic
- BillE3, on 06/22/2009, -1/+50Not any longer, now you must recognize authority and kiss its ***.
- cJw314, on 06/22/2009, -0/+47"Does this go deeper then we realise?"
Doesn't it always? -
