Whatcha You Gonna Do When They Shoot at You?

Anaheim, California police in action.

  1. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stomping on a human face--forever. -George Orwell

    To my fellow and beloved human beings: get everything under your control in the best order you can. Strengthen bonds between family and friends as best you can. And although I don't want to make this sound as a reduction to the contemplation of a navel (we must act when necessary): pray and have faith. Those who laughed at the conspiracy of a New World Order are denying the unfolding of it before their glazed-over eyes.

    My words to the state: STOP hurting people. Defend and protect the innocent and stop going after victimless crimes. Quit the violence and make a damn honest living, for yourself, your children and for the sake of all souls. Shed your damn false pride and make a short-term sacrifice for the long-term well being of your family and others.

    I hope, I too, have the strength not to stop at only words, when I am needed most. God Love all of you, not just my fellow libertarians.

  2. You gotta love news writers, "...unruly crowd," "chaos erupts," "officers fire what appear to be beanbags and unleash canine...," (and then say with a dumb look that it somehow got out of the police car) "a scene that was a near riot...," and "...a dumpster fire." Ooh--dumpster fire--MAYHEM!! The beginning of WWIII.

    Be sure that when you run from the cops that you do so not with your back to them--their favorite target.

    And then we have Sgt. Dunn's brilliant analysis, "What exactly happened during the shooting, we don't know...." Let's try this one, Sgt. Dunn--"Uh, uh, (belch), uh, a man ran, and we killed him, uh, officers killed him...in cold blood." I love Operation Mockingbird, CIA-managed media where they show a picture of a young man and refer to him only as "Thumper," a cartoon character (the name of the rabbit in the Disney animated movie Bambi, to reduce the man's life to a cartoon. These are kids with years ahead of them! They're harmless, but for the police it's open season on Bambi. The first step to demonize an enemy is to turn him into an abstraction and remove all the human characteristics, while the media and the police department control the narrative. They were trying to buy witnesses' videos!! Shameless. Where is the empathy gene? If "Thumper" was running away, can a cop claim self-defense? Good job, Dunn.

  3. What am I going to do when they shoot at me? Apparently, protect the children with my body.

    It did look like that one cop lost hold of the K-9 like a clutz. But, incompetence is not an excuse.

  4. Yah, that Susan Lopez, the woman with the child who had the dog sicced on her, yah, she looked real dangerous...

    "Police offered to buy video" = Attempted Tampering with Evidence / Conspiracy to Destroy Evidence. (Not that any of the cops will ever be charged with anything...)

    Yes, we have a surveillance state where our actions are being monitored, but the positive aspect of this is that everyone has a video camera, and things like this get recorded by several people.

    Our American Problem = Thugs. Thugs with Guns. From the ghetto, from the precinct -- same problem.

    1. But if we abandon our surveillance state, mad men will go around shooting up movie theaters. The surveillance state prevents that from happening!

      Oh, wait...

  5. Anaheim cops offered to buy witness video? My how unusually polite of the fascisti. Normally they just illegally confiscate them and destroy the evidence.

    These days it's hard to fugure out who is worse, the police state goons or the sycophantic infotainment personalities who excuse their behavior.

  6. None of this will stop until we have two different court systems. The regular court system for us mundanes, and the "other" court system for the police.

    In the police court system, since they are given a monopoly over the use of force and state sanction to do many things the rest of us cannot, the officers will be considered guilty until proven innocent. I am also thinking that we should adjust the jury system for the police. A unanimous verdict should be required to find police innocence, no possibility for a hung jury. If even 1 in 12 thinks that the officer is guilty, then he goes to prison.

    Put some potential fire under their ass and watch as the thug behavior stops.

    1. Why not just do away with tax-funded, fine-funded police forces?

      Let the market sort it out.

  7. Citizen journalists armed with phone videos. Sell your videos to TV and print media, not the police. And post on YouTube.

  8. Although we don't know what the catalyst of these events was, of course the media is able to spin the victims into criminals for those who are concerned about the disappearance of Michael's Jackson's mom (nothing against her; hope she's ok).

    Since I am a child of modern media pop culture myself, this makes me think of a quote from Braveheart: “Here are Scotland's terms. Lower your flags, and march straight back to England, stopping at every home you pass by to beg forgiveness for 100 years of theft, rape, and murder. Do that and your men shall live. Do it not, and every one of you will die today.”

  9. The police buying videos (aka evidence) is not different than offering rewards for tips leading to a conviction, no?

  10. Unless they're buying exclusive rights for the videos in order to prevent these videos from being broadcast or posted on Youtube. Which I think is the case (otherwise police could've simply used subpoenas to obtain copies).
