credente Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Has anyone noticed that 'United States of America' is an anagram of 'Land of utter fuckwits?' Okay, maybe its not - but it ought to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blade Runner Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Yet more reasons not to ever go to that part of the world. Did you know that 1% of their population is in prison? Land of the Free? My arse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballaughbiker Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Disgusting. One of the great things about the internet is that millions can see thuggery like this within a very short time. I hope it comes back to 'haunt' the over zealous 'officers'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manxy Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Can't say I'm impressed with the police, even if the group were deliberately dancing against the polices wishes. Sad really.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broadcaster Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 It's a pity british police were not as keen to enforce the law, I don't know the legal background but if a police office tells you to stop doing something then do what you are told. This idea that people can do what they want when told not to is a common problem. Civil disobedience is not clever or big, it was just a bunch of fools seeing how far they could push the police. Before LDV starts bleating about civil libaties this was not the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My arse. That's always been the case with the US. The free thing is just propaganda. You're free there to get as filthy stinking rich as you like, so free infact that just about the only constraint on how you do it is your own conscience. In every other way you are only as free or less free than most of the rest of the world. Dreadful country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballaughbiker Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 but if a police office tells you to stop doing something then do what you are told. Eh? Even if its not against the law?? Can police just make it up as they go along then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruger Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 "The law" is explained a bit here. But check out what the cop does at 1:25! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutley Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 The police in that video could have easily had a total hands off and chilled approach and the whole thing would have been a non event. There are hundreds of "Occupy" videos and photos floating around the internet showing the same bullshit approach by the US. I thought after the Bush era, a Democratic Obama administration might have been a bit more... "human". Naive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they could also have felt that evidence of them 'not upholding the law' was being taken on camera...?. So they had to act?. Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows. There's You tube videos of cops who have taken a chilled approach to an incident and totally defused it. There's a time for strong arm tactics but if it's applied to every little event then we're on a slippery slope to totalitarianism. Actually I think the US is probably way down that road already. Glad I don't live there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
