So I, a stranger, come to your job and pop a few people. You're not going to be wary of the next stranger on your job?
Yes, a 130 beanstalk goofball dancing is pretty scary I agree, cops should be at defcon 5.. or is it defcon 1? I can't remember which one is the worst

So you think it's smart to fuck with guys with guns, tasers, pepper spray and possibly a target on their backs?

Go for it, John Holmes, go...for...it.
Naa man I was agreeing with you, cops should have unquestioned power.. I mean hey if you obey the laws and be a role model WASP you have nothing to worry about right?

He dished it out, he took it. And now he will likely profit from his video.

Here's a clue to the uninitiated, the world's personal space isn't your oyster.

I would never speak to the police under any circumstance.

Exactly. I am in total stealth mode myself. Makes it harder for them to impose their justice on me.

Cops are currently looking so bad. :mad:

He wasn't doing anything wrong! The prankster just wanted his 15 minutes of internet fame, and apparently he got it.

Two cops just got ambushed and killed. In no way would the police think its funny to be walked up from behind and taunting them with a dance. The dancer could have been a mental case capable of anything and the taunting like I said was not in good taste.

So what explains why they were assholes before all this happened?

Anyhow, Ellen is the world's largest clickbate troll of useful Youtube idiots. I'm surprised that no one has called out her fakeness yet. And then she buys viewership by giving out sponsored gifts, while pretending to be so benevolent.

Long but interesting story from rapper Mac Lethal.

Maybe it's not funny, but it is telling that their first reaction was not to first assume a defensive posture, but to aggressively assault a fellow citizen.

You just don't get into a person's personal space, especially a police officer's. If need to talk to an officer and I'm behind him, I speak up when I'm a good distance away. Add to that the recent ambush killings, and the guy was just asking for it. Not saying the cops weren't dicks, they were. It would have been much better PR to, after the initial WTF are you doing, to calmly educate the moron, shake hands, and move on. But I understand their reaction. It wasn't brutal, and it wasn't a slam.

For his next prank, he should go to the airport and joke about having a bomb. See where that gets him.

Every job I ever worked at in my life there were assholes.

Far as did they assault him, I'd have to watch it again but I think the kid went down easy on purpose. he is obviously light on his feet and dances. No reason he had to fall 20 feet away like he had no leg muscles

"Asking for it?" What a tired cliche. Either they needed to defend themselves against a threat or they were assaulting someone just because they could. Their reactions are on camera for all time.

...
I really considered sitting this one out, BUT, I gotta ask...

Didn't that 'stranger' show up at your job because of you or your co-worker choking a guy to death for little to no reason?

I'm NOT saying that the guy who killed those two cops was in any way in the right. BUT, it sure sounds like you'd defend the guy who choked E.G. to death!

If I stand there and repeatedly snap my fingers right in front of your face, at some point you'll get aggravated and do something about it.

Pfft. I have to deal with annoying people every day, yet I am not expected to assault them, nor is it a foregone conclusion that I will get away with it.

Because that's exactly what happened in this case, right? That kid was right up in that cop's face, and was reaching for his gun, wasn't he? Cops are like dickless skinheads. They shuffle along, looking at the ground when they're by themselves, but turn into belligerent shitbags when in groups. The bad thing about cops, is having a gun and a radio instantly makes them a group.

If they're afraid of the public, maybe they should try modifying their behavior. You don't hear much about cable installers getting ambushed...

We had 2 officers killed here, in 2 separate incidents, last year. I was surprised there weren't civilians killed by skiddish cops.

Firstly the word is skittish. Skiddish sounds like you can't control your bowels.

Secondly, that is the life cops choose. They can be attacked any where any time when they are doing their job because they decided to choose a job where they try to stop people breaking the law. Some people who break the law will kill and maim rather than be caught. If you don't like the reality of this situation then don't become a cop. I don't care if 100 cops had been killed in the previous 24 hours they had no right assaulting that man. All of them should have their badges removed until they understand they work for the people they are assaulting.

Until police officers start getting seriously reprimanded for excessive force this is only going to get worse.

Those cops do seem overly aggressive to me. But with recent happenings in the background i can understand that they get paranoid. As a police officer you can never do it right. In a proper society, a police officer would not be needed... But that is wishful thinking.

Alexander Bok looks like a huge nerd but in a society with a lot of guns, knifes and transmittable diseases, that is not much of a benefit.
He reminds me of the IT crowd guy : Maurice Moss.

Anyway.

Alexander Bok is great. The pillow fighting is fun.

EDIT:
I guess those officers reacted in the way they do because they do not get the respect they would like to receive plus being paranoid.
I guess they feel he is making a fool out of them.

Actually in my experience cops in smaller towns with less crime seem to be the biggest jerks while in places like NYC they have plenty of real/violent crime to deal with and as a result don't sweat the small stuff.

Being a cop anywhere is a tough and largely thankless job though.

Oh noez. Dancing. It's only a bad idea because pigs are pieces of shit.

I find it interesting that by changing one letter in that sentence from a "p" to an "n", you would not only be banned, but everyone would be talking about how horrible stereotyping, generalizing, and racism is. But they still can't see what they doing is wrong, because "copz isz bad yo"

So is being a garbage collector. In fact, being a garbage collector is far more dangerous, statistically. But they are not assaulting citizens for not leaving their bins out by the road.

Care to back that up with stats? How many garbage collectors were killed this year?

And dari is such a tool its comical.

I'm NOT saying that the guy who killed those two cops was in any way in the right. BUT, it sure sounds like you'd defend the guy who choked E.G. to death!

He was not choked to death. He died from a heart attack. He was fat, out of shape, and in very poor health. His death was not from asphyxiation. But you're as ignorant as the other sheep who don't know the facts it appears.

I thought Mai72 lived in Bangkok, Thailand.

Anyway, all youtube pranksters should be thrown to the ground....and be forced to find real jobs.....and get haircuts.
By real jobs do you mean jobs where the public pays your salary and you get to abuse and intimidate the public?

To protect and serve...

Fuck that guy, doing shit like that behind a cop, what a moron. He got less than what he deserved.

And I just have to mention this bullshit about other jobs being more dangerous than cop jobs.... shove that shit back up your ass. So roofers or garbage men get hurt more on the job than cops? Excellent. Misleading much???? How many roofers or garbage men have people actively trying to hurt them? Stupid, worthless statistic. Like somehow a dipshit falling off a tractor and getting hurt is equal to someone coming up and shooting you in the back of the head.

Just about every person in all of the pathetic cop hating threads here got what they had coming to them. If you think cops just run around picking on poor innocent people then your a dumb ass. End of story.
