This is another example of cops wielding too much power, and acting with a pack mentality. Who is hiring these people who clearly cannot be trusted with the power they've been given.

The video is interesting because the woman filming is narrating and reacting to what is taking place on the street in front of her. This is a travesty.

    The Soviet Union had NKVD and KGB, the Nazi's had Gestapo, the Banana Republics have their thugs and murder squads, the US has it's "Law Enforcement Officers"...

    Wonder if he could be Obama's cousin, like Trevor...oh no, that wouldn't further Obama's agenda, so it will remain silent.

    Some states do not have a front plate, Kansas is one of them. Also in New York City, most people do not know this, but you cannot turn right at a traffic light when it is red, that is illegal in NYC but there are no signs at the intersection telling you not to, you are just expected to know it.

    K, when I was in the military, I was told -- seriously -- that a military person is not considered competent within 1 minute of being awakened,,,, Thus, a soldier can commit murder during that minute, and it's not their fault. Now, like N-M-A says above, this incident may well have caused a PTSD response like being suddenly awakened. And the civilian response was summary execution. Travesty. -- j

    Hello NMA,
    Another example of thugs with badges... some join the force to serve and protect... some to have their way.
    Just more abuse of power. They know they will not be held accountable...

    Was he an "in-stater"? Many states have no requirement for a front license plate.

    This is becoming more common.

    Those who aren't familiar with the Kelly Thomas case should look it up. It is probably the most brutal example of this kind of thing. It was a total snuff job that happened to be filmed without the cops knowing it. Then, the officers all got off. I've never even known of anything quite like that story. And, I think it is a good example of what can happen to any of us.

    I have several friends who are Policemen.. Good folks.. But there are some that get a rush of power and don't seem to realize they are "public servants", not storm troopers.

    I think Maphesdus had sarcasm dripping off his comment. Had to wipe my monitor screen.

    I don't know, but the gene to submit is not in me. cops handcuffing me would be agitating and I would fight back unless someone was there to calm me. You can be arrested for talking back and saying no in some states. that's why the cops ratchet it up. they will not let you think they do not have full authority. so sad for his family-all that time in harm's way only to be killed by government employees in your own country you served. Those cops should be charged with murder

    Be interested to see the footage off the dash cams of the patrol cars. Probably won't happen. The footage will conveniently be erased, no doubt. Scary times we live in.

    Sadly, all rational thinking is suppressed by "ism's". This is no one's fault but those who remain silent, when voices need to be raised. We are putting on the yokes of oxen, and submissively taking the rod.

    Apparently people are too brainwashed to care & the police know there is no consequences for them.
    This is how the rule of rational just & fair law dies & is replaced with brute tyrany & the rule of force.

    Yes, I fully expect the dash cam footage to be conveniently corrupted or otherwise "unavailable". I wonder that the ACLU hasn't gotten involved...

    "Who is hiring these people..." Your President and Commander-in-Chief Barrack Obama. Remember BO calling for a national police force as strong as the military? http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/art...
    Its here and we may expect to see growing numbers of these kind of incidents.

    sigh...

    I
    HAVE
    NO
    PRESIDENT.

    Article 2, section 1, clause 5 (how many times do I have to teach this?)

    The President must be a "natural born citizen". The Founding Fathers did not use flowery language in the Constitution for its own sake. To them, there were different classes or types of citizenship. Among these would be "Natural born", "Native born", "Naturalized" and "Non."

    They do NOT mean the same thing, and for a reason.

    A native born citizen is one who is born in the U.S. an example of a native born citizen is Barack Obama.

    A naturalized citizen is one who goes through a legal process to be declared a citizen. An example of this would be Arnold Schwarzenegger.

    A non citizen is someone who is not,in any way, a citizen. An example of this can be found on most any construction site or in the parking lot of your local Home Depot...

    But a "natural born citizen" is someone who is born a citizen to citizen parents. The parents can be naturalized, but they must be citizens at the time of the child's birth.

    The reasoning behind this stems from the nature of the ruling class, the aristocracy, of Europe. King George III, the monarch from whom we wished independence, was the first British monarch of his name to speak English as his first tongue. His predecessors spoke German first, being the heads of the Hanover Dynasty.

    A little over a century after the War of Independence, Queen Victoria's grandson took his rightful place of rule; he was Kaiser Wilhelm, of Germany.

    The aristocracy of Europe was inbred for a millennium at least by the time of the War of Independence, and quite often the decisions of European monarchs was based more on their relationships and interactions with other European monarchs than on the needs and desires of their own citizenry.

    The Founding Fathers hoped to protect us from that kind of thing by requiring the commander in chief to have no divided loyalties. To be, in the 2nd generation, American. Only.
