Police Brutality – LAPD MacArthur Park
I really hate dwelling on my newfound disgust of police, but it’s hard when they keep beating the shit out of people for no reason. Did you catch the end of the video where the newscaster said that a group of policemen trotted passed them, laughing and joking about beating people up (women and children included)? Gee, that sounds awfully familiar.
The sick thing is, is that this is how police have ALWAYS treated people. The only reason they are getting in “trouble” now is because they can’t lie and cover up their actions when they are caught on video (which is way more likely to happen, nowadays). For example, if someone had videotaped the incident where I got tackled from behind by a cop and tasered 3 times, I would not be nervous AT ALL about going to court because what he did was ridiculous, blatant brutality and subsequently illegal. But, since it’s me and my witnesses against a cop (who has already demonstrated that he has NO problem lieing to cover up his actions, by what he wrote in the police report), it makes me wonder what else he’s going to pull out of his ass to try and save his job.
Okay, again, I’m sick of dwelling on this…arg….rainbows and unicorns, puppies and flowers…happy thoughts, happy thoughts…grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I’m still pissed. I’m going running…
