I am 90% sure that vid is a fake.

Fake or not, fired or not, I'll bet that cop sure felt better after whacking the kid. I know I would. ;)

amish

I think i know the video you were talking about and im not sure if the guy was a cop or security guard...and the guy didnt just flip the bird..he ran up to the officer a few times and the cop looked starlted and the guy was dancing and repeatedly running up close to the officer so the guy ran after him and did what i woudl have done.

I think if i recall correctly the guy ran up to the cop while the cop had his back to him..

No one has asked the obvious question here: Why the fvck are you asking at all? Police officers are just there to HELP you. The world you live in would be sh*t without them, or others who perform the same services they do. You ought to be thanking them instead of flicking them off for enforcing the laws you are trying to get around.

Grow up dillrod. Sheesh.

the tape is not BS, is there a reason why everony here immediatly assumes that whenever someone posts something they dont agree with that its a fake?

mmm no, never do actually, i just dont think the tape is REAL....im not sure because i wasnt there....but IMO, i dont think it is.

I don't think its the flicking off wasn't illegal that got him fired. More of the hitting someone with
a billy club when its not warrented. Not to say its illegal to flip a cop off, I don't know one way or
the other. But if you get caught speeding (illegal), the cop cannot take you out of the car and hit
you with a billy club cause he wants to. Matter of a fact you can shoot someone and if you surrender
then you cannot be hit with a billy club. Now if a cop is trying to subdue you, and you fight back, billy
club is now fair game to use.

On a side thought, cops can pull you over and give you tickets for the most ridiculous crap. Nothing like
getting pulled over for going less than 5 over. As well as the littlest other stuff that can be added to a ticket.
In RI if you get pulled over 30 past sunrise or 30 minutes til sunset if you don't put on your dome light, you can
be ticketed. Ya, how many people know that. And its funny, you don't get it unless you piss the cop off.
And you can beat he will show up in court if you try to fight it.

Go the beach recently and get some sand somewhere? Christ man it's a simple question. It's not really that hard to answer.

P.S. If you honestly believe police officers are "just there to HELP you," you're being naive.

Because you talk and spell like you aren't out of middle school yet. I really doubt you have any knowledge of the law whatsoever, so don't go taking videos off the internet and assuming they are real, and basing your "facts" off of them, kid.

I don't know what the vid was called or where it was but I watched it a few times and if I had to guess the "cop" was probably a friend with the guys and it was a decently staged fake. It's not agreeing with it or disagreeing. It's just that I think it was fake.

I'll tell you what. I'm always in favor of saving some of my green, so how about - in the name of tax savings - we eliminate the Public Safety service from your neighborhood? It wouldn't take long for that dynamic to work it's magic.

Im sorry is my spelling not up to your high standards? did i not puncuate properly? DO i need to add in some footnotes for you? Or can u just handle the bad spelling since u obviously got the just of the messege. U may not think i spell very well and thats fine, why not jsut keep it to yourself? There was no real reason u added it other than to start an argument with me about the whole age thing. And i honselty dont really care what u think i sound like since what ive garnered from your posts in this thread u are an AssHat.

Oh and I'm 19, and since im not your kid, and i really hope u dont have any, mind ur manners and try not to insult me with every word since i didnt do anything to you

When you talk like that online, you look like an idiot. If you want people to take your posts seriously, talk like a fvcking human being.

hows that?

Well, the obvious point in that a Rhesus monkey on amphetamines has a better command of the English language, firstly. :p

Secondly, your denial that the "cop beatdown" video is fake means nothing. Fake or not, you will get your balls busted if you flip off a cop. Try it and find out.

And finally, this whole stupid Macho-Motherfvkcer attitude you're posturing about your Hatred for The Man and the cops. Have you ever experienced firsthand the sh!t that the thin blue line goes through every day for trying to keep the peace? Ever considered what the world would be without them? Here's an idea - the next time there's a robbery or assault, you go put your ass on the line and die defending an innocent person whose name you don't even know.

I do talk like a human being, I type like a kid that has just gotten up and doesnt really worry that much about his spelling. I didnt intend on paying strict attention to this thread and was just offering a little of what i knew. Perhaps i could have added an AFIK at the end of my post but I assumed that my post showed that i was not positive in my claim. And since i know i type poorly, and i know most of the people here know how to read i often dont bother with small mistakes. I just felt that your personal attack on my based on my age was unwarranted.. I was trying to add to the thread, and all u did was try to mock my post.

well the first two i agree with but i dont agree with the macho attitude towards the cops, i have never once acted like that and if thats how you interperted it then im sorry. I know the cops are there to help but i have dealt with more bad cops then good ones so i would rather not deal with them then have to get them involved. Thats all, and the cops in my town are a joke so if in the other police thread i seemed a little uncaring towards them, then so be it. And i guess my command of the langauge has been good enough for college... should be good enough for you

I guess it's a matter of personal experience. I've never met a bad cop in my life, and I've met quite a few, both on and off duty. Of course, I'm in Canada, so YMMV. :)

Yeah, like all cops do that type of stuff

In my suburb, all cops every do is give speeding tickets, direct traffic in parking lots, and investigate petty theft (which they never, ever solve). There has been a whopping two murders in the past two hundred years and almost no violence.

Some cops don't do anything but harass citizens.

Some peoples definitions of "bad cops" are a bit off. Maybe a cop having a bad day, or perhaps being a bit lazy. Besides, if you have a bad run in with an officer, chances are that you are an a-hole yourself or were doing something to catch his attention.

So in other words, crime is low enough in your suburb that they notice the laws you're breaking now? :p
