3 people you do not @#$! with: People who handle your food, people who cut your hair, people who uphold your law.

As for not fucking with people who "uphold" the law, guess what happens when police are allowed to operate without scrutiny, and without being called to explain their actions? You end up with a force like the RCMP, which has over time begun to exhibit the behaviour and characteristics of a secret police force; investigating themselves, never finding any wrongdoing, and resisting all calls for reform.

As for the UWO incident, it doesn't matter what the guy had done beforehand. The law does not permit police officers to dish out retribution based on what they think or have been told when responding to a call, and certainly not after the point at which the six officers on scene had him pinned to the ground. He was not armed and posed no threat at that point.

Judge, jury, executioner is not the police's role, it is prohibited by the very laws you claim to respect, and the courts have consistently upheld this principle. So don't tell me that I should consider what the guy may have done before the tape started rolling, because it doesn't matter.

I never claimed there needs to be no scrutiny, however what you are doing is not policing the police, you are witch hunting.

And as far as this video is concerned there is allowance. You assume this was retribution, this was a large, strong, belligerent person who was not allowing himself to be arrested.

I live in a world where police need to be respected but monitored and controlled, you live in a world where every criminal is a victim and every cop is a mobster.

If the both of us spoke to cops with the attitude we exhibit towards them on this forum who do you think is going to be the one tasting a baton? Maybe if less of the people getting arrested where like you we wouldn't have these videos online all the time, and those that were put on youtube would be the legitimate cases of abuse.

I would ask, what situation did the security guys prevent?

What was that guy trying to do next?

What would have happened if the security did nothing?

What event did the security guys stop from happening?

Did they stop something that could have ended up similar to this?

Or did they stop something that could have ended like this?

Engineguy. That is classic Chris Rock (part of my Limewire collection). And oh so true.

This asshole is putting up such a fight that 5 cops can't get his wrists together to get cuffs on, what's the alternative to hitting him until he gives up? either they shoot him or tazer him. i think they should have shot him, he deserved it and it would be over nice and quick.

By the way, after this video they finally got the cuffs on, and while walking him out to the cruiser he escaped AGAIN (the 3rd time and after being pepper sprayed).
