Daniel Harless. Do you know who this cop is?

The sad thing is, many people don't realize this is also true of their government, and choose to believe in some democratic mythology that common people can determine their own future.

I cannot count the number of debates I have been in with people who believe what they are told, and through horizontal social pressure, believe what everyone else believes. They will adamantly defend a paradigm which they accepted without question, without consideration.

A good example of this phenomenon was the fall of the Soviet Union. One day, people just stopped believing in Communism and the state, and within a week, the second biggest country in the world lost its government.

While that loss of faith was not accompanied by better ideas that might have lead the Russians somewhere productive, it does show how much of social control, including politicians and police rely on our believing in them, more so than their use of force or authority. That's why the lot of them wear uniforms. The power isn't in the position per se, but in the symbolism and our acceptance of the signals of that position/power/authority.

There was a lot of out side influence (a lot of that from the US) that caused them to stop believing in their government. It didn't just happen one day over night.

What I am saying, is that once consent was withdrawn, the government was done. How long it took that consent to erode wasn't my point. A lot of people are morons, they will believe lies their entire lives.

Ah, point taken and you're correct.
 
That's also why democracy is a farce. Sure, you get to pick your leader. From the approved choices. lol
That's a broad statement. I can't say I understand the US/Canadian systems 100%, but here anyone can run for Prime Minister, they just have to pay £500 per candidate. (Returned if they get more than 5% of the vote)
 
Should happen to all cops. Fuck them - they're no longer there to protect us. I fear police more than I do criminals.

Damn. Here's a description of what happened Kyle Dinkheller - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

After being captured, Brannan was asked why he killed Dinkheller. His response was, "Because he let me."
I don't agree with what went down in this one, but police that go way over the line like beating innocent people to death should meet the strength of 1,000 Brannans.
 
Did this dumb cracker's actions make it to any of the major news outlets?

CNN? ABC? NBC?
 
No need, the cyber police can't fix angry nerd syndrome ;)

It's not angry nerd syndrome. I've been on the receiving end of police threats twice in crimes which I had no involvement simply because I refused to speak or give a statement. The last time I was told I would "be put through the wringer" if I refused to give a statement regarding a crime I was supposed to have witnessed. If they're happy to treat me like this when I'm not the perp, god knows how they'd treat me if I was. Fuck the police, I'm not giving a statement nor will I ever speak to them if I'm a victim of a crime, witness a crime or am part of a crime.

Also - a friend from high school, someone I've known for 15 years recently became a police officer in the past 24 months and I noticed a marked change in his behaviour as he finished training and then passed his probationary period. Once a good friend but now I avoid. Police have been trained to think we're the enemy. When I see an arrogant cop shot down, I fucking rejoice because it's a score for the civilian. Same deal with the idiots who enlist in the army, they're not hero's, they're fucking psychopaths. What sort of person join the police or army? Have a good think about it and you'll come to the conclusion it's people on a power trip who probably got short changed and have small dicks or some other fucking inferiority complex type stuff. Fuck them. Dead cop = good cop. Let the criminals run free and murder them.

I don't approve of violence, but I like that you see our relationship with these guys as it is, not as we're told it is.

I don't like violence either but when the police see one of their own shot down, it's a reminder to the collective thug force that they're human and just as vulnerable as the people they're meant to protect.

People think my position is extreme but they're probably yet to be on the receiving end of police intimidation. The first time it happens, you think it's just 1 bad egg. The second time it happens, you begin to see similar pattern of behaviour in all police officers. Finally, when you see a well known friend joining to have a taste of faux power, it's safer to assume every cop is a bad cop until they prove otherwise.
 
Everyone says "fuck the police" until an intruder enters their home to rob them in the middle of the night.

Happened to me and it didn't work out to well for him and I didn't have to call the police. The police showed up because someone saw the guy bleeding pretty bad and rambling incoherently. The police originally thought he was the victim until they saw the trail of blood leaving my apartment. The police asked why I didn't call them and I said what was I going to tell you? A bald white guy broke into my apartment and I stabbed him? He would have been gone by the time you showed up. They didn't really like that answer.
