"intelligent" man WON'T STOP when a COP orders him to STOP---guess what happened???

Thom Yorke mentioned a story about when he was younger he went on a protest about student loans. Thatcher was apparently angry about this disobedience so the police on horses ran at the protesters. One horse kicked a pregnant one. Others were battered indiscriminately with police weapons.

Yes, they all too often seem to acting in the interests of the elite rather than serving the people who pay their wages. You saw the same thing there with occupy. Snipers beams aimed at the backs of protestors who were simply saying ' Hey, this system is rigged'.

Sucks nowadays that people jump immediately to a race bait banner rather than acknowledging there actually are instances when Cops can be every bit at fault. He had no intention of just 'having a conversation' and lost control of his shit. Jaywalking FFS. Nope, no profiling there.

At most he would have got a civil ticket if he had listened. Now he is gonna have a slew of charges. Young cops think they will save the world by giving out tickets. Show your ID, say as little as possible and your exchange will be brief. You will not win a battle

The guy was crossing a road minding his own business and the police officer clearly had nothing else to do but harrass the poor bloke. That this discussion is even happening and you are posting this video and people are defending it is nuts. Taxpayer money is used to pay for bored people to look for ways to arrest you. Insane.

Why is crossing a road illegal, just a ridiculous crime.

Example of Police grossly abusing their powers can be seen during the miners strike. Examples of them lying and hiding evidence can be seen during the Hillsborough disaster.

The guy did stop, he took off his coat to show he had no weapons and the other cops were literally seconds away from getting to the scene. Nothing there justifies rugby tackling the geezer let alone smashing his canister in, nobody was in danger.

Why shouldn't people have the right to question why they're being stopped?

I can't stand pricks that blame everything on racism but there's no justification for behaviour like that unless the man was a wanted crim or threat to the cozzer or public.

That the guy should've stopped and tried to avoid the incident is beside the point. The main point here is that.....


How many more videotaped incidents is it going to take before someone takes a long, hard look at how the police force conducts itself in everyday business and does something about it?!?


The guy was punched 20 times in the face, suffering a concussion by getting his head bounced against the concrete. If that motherfukking poor excuse of a cop isn't thrown in jail for assault and battery, it's just another mockery of the justice system in the United States.

Yeah, me neither (seriously).... but consider this:


"Cain’s jaywalking accusation exemplifies a pattern within the Del Paso Heights police district, which in the past year has been responsible for nearly 75 percent of jaywalking citations issued in the city. Half of those have gone to African-Americans, who are only about 15 percent of the area’s residents."

So either blacks in Del Paso Heights police district do a hell of a lot more jaywalking than anybody else, or.....
