Police Using YouTube To Tell Their Own Stories
stevegee58 writes "Posting videos to YouTube allegedly showing police misconduct has become commonplace these days. Now police themselves are posting their own videos to refute misconduct claims. 'After a dozen Occupy Minnesota protesters were arrested at a downtown demonstration, the group quickly took to the Internet, posting video that activists said showed police treating them roughly and never warning them to leave. But Minneapolis police knew warnings had been given. And they had their own video to prove it. So they posted the footage on YouTube, an example of how law enforcement agencies nationwide are embracing online video to cast doubt on false claims and offer their own perspective to the public.'"
Here, I packed your philosophical suitcase for you. Whenever you're done saying your goodbyes, I'll gladly wave goodbye as you depart to live in another country. People who spout pseudo-philosophical tripe like your post should have stayed in college for a few more years.

I would like to redirect you to my open carry statement a few lines down.
Intolerance to mistreatment?
So if I called a black person a N*gger and they decided to punch me in the face I should accuse them of intolerance to mistreatment.. I do not disagree with anything posted it was wrong thats correct but saying ALL THOSE DAMN PIGS...so your saying every single police officer that you've ever met has had his boot in your mouth? interesting.
News flash: I have been put on the ground, had my gun taken away from me and been in handcuffs for 4 hours while they decided whether it was legal or not, I did not get up and call them pigs I was respectful the entire time. They apologized profusely, I replied I understand why you did it, THAT'S why I carry a gun, and the officer shook my hand at that point.
If you were trying to protect the public from a riot, and everyone is throwing shit at you and everything else, and all you do is stand there and tell them to disperse, hey, there are always 2 stories to every incident. If I had to put up with shit being thrown at me for a half hour before finally getting the call to go in, I would probably hit you a bit harder than I should have as well...we are human...calling them "pigs" denotes the fact that they are human.
