Police Brutality In Your Country

[Methmatician]

Typical. A recent case here in the U.S. involved the killing of a 12 year old kid who was playing with his toy gun at the park. The cops drove up next to him, got out of their car and shot him. Here is the video if any would care to see it:

Wtf? It looks like they didn't even question him. It was practically an assassination.

Thats pretty much what happened, and they got cleared of all wrongdoing too.

What was their justification? Haven't they ever seen little boys play with toy guns before? I did that hundreds of times when I was little. I'm really glad the cops here in Aus aren't that eager to use their guns.

Shooting of black man Oscar Grant by white police officers. Like I said, black people are nothing more than walking bullseyes to police and gun nuts. I recommend watching this film, it is very moving

That's not brutality. He's watering his hippies.

No justification, they just assumed it was a real gun, probably because the kid was black. I guess he should have known better than to play with toy guns at the park whilst being black.

The thing that Police officers in the U.S. hate more than anything is anyone making them feel "disrespected" even though that is not a law, they will often break the law to reinforce their respectability.

Swedish horse police trampling and injuring at least 10 anti-nazi protestors, some severely.





In their defence they were throwing bricks at them though.

I don't care much about police brutality if they have to keep some crackhead bums in line.
