Daniel Harless. Do you know who this cop is?



I think If I was the other officer I would have had to arrest this douche bag for acting that way. They don't think his actions weren't criminal? WTF The threatened his life.
 
"The system" will never protect you from "the system".

Cops, unionized teachers, bureaucrats, they are all in a club and they look out for each other, not the people they are supposedly serving.

That's because... dun dun dun

No competition. Cops don't have to treat people well because the people they deal with aren't their customers. The people can't go somewhere else.

That's also why democracy is a farce. Sure, you get to pick your leader. From the approved choices. lol
 
In Germany, police fired 85 bullets in all of 2011. In the US, police fired 90 shots at 1 unarmed man in Los Angeles. GOOOOOOOO AMERICA!!!!!!!! :321:

that is all.
 
Another reason they lost the war, not enough bullets.

In war, you can never have too much firepower.

Yes and that's the cause why you can stab 2 German police officers without being shot or tazered to death.

Not to mention that not someone who gets 1 vote has the same social or economic power (and consequences and benefits from politics) that another person has.

That's why money is in politics, because the real voting happens with money, because wherever there is a supply and a demand, a market will try to emerge.

Democracy is to markets what Communism was to individual liberty.

this is 100% true.

the police are here to protect the corporations and bankers, not the citizens.

one of my favorite quotes is from Micheal Parenti where he saids that in almost every bank robbery, the cost of the police work 99% of the time exceeds the amount that the robbers took.

"The function of that police action, those interventions in Central America and the Middle East, the function is system sustaining. It is to maintain that overall system! And you don't look at the particular cost. I could demonstrate to you that every single bank robbery, that in every single case practically, the cost of the police was more than the actual money that the robbers took from the bank. Does that mean, 'Oh, you see, there's really no economic interest involved, then. They're not protecting the banks. The police are just doing this because they're on a power trip, or they're macho, or they're control freaks, that's why they do it.' No, of course it's an economic... of course they're defending the banks. Of course, because if they didn't stop that bank robbery, regardless of the cost, this could jeopardize the entire banking system. You see, there are people who believe that the function of the police is to fight crime. And that's not true; the function of the police is social control and protection of property."

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.
