The G20 Protests.

Maybe you would be if you were hosing them with worcestershire sauce and throwing slices of beef at them... but honestly, who wouldn't do that?

As an aside, I have never learned how to speak this word. I cook with it all the time. My father always used it growing up, but he never spoke it's name out loud either. It's been a part of my life, but I have no verbal tag to attach to it. We've always just avoided referring to it by name.

Woos-ter-sher. Saying it's actually a lot simpler than spelling it.

 

[Kitty Sinatra]

I pronounce it as Iaculus spelled it there. Was thaught it by a Brit.

The Brits, btw, are fucked up when it comes to pronouncing place names. "Gloucestershire" is gloss-ter-sher; and they drop the w in names like Dunwich and Norwich, becoming dun-itch and nor-itch.

Like your American English is spelled phonetically...

Or in Mika Häkkinen English: Laik jöör Ömerikön Inglish is spelt fönetikli.

Oh, sorry then. Let me correct my statement.

Like yer trans-Atlantic English is spelled phonetically, eh?

 

[Kitty Sinatra]

Umm, My Atlantic is Bi- not Trans-

. . . meh, that one just rather sucks.

 

[Kitty Sinatra]

yeah, I know. It was a lame joke with no actual thought put into it. I mean, being an ocean, the Atlantic is most likely asexual and genderless.

 

[Rob King]

You take that back!

 

[Kitty Sinatra]

I'm sorry. The Atlantic is a mostly straight girl.


An ugly, cold bitch at times, ugly as all sin compared to the lovely Pacific, and blandly ordinary compared to the exotic and slutty Indian.

 

[Rob King]

She ... she gets violent ... sometimes. *fights back tears*

You know what? Fuck off. For every one cop like that there's thousands who do their jobs (fucking stressful jobs I could add) the way they're supposed to.

I'm gonna add, I am appalled by the activities of the officer in the video. That shit is deplorable and if there's any logic or justice in the Chicago PD he will be brought up on charges and fired.

We have 4 groups here.

a) Cops who abuse the law
b) Cops who know about a) but dont do anything to stop it
c) Cops who dont know about a) (nor have heard anything from b) and c)
d) Cops who know about a) and do something to stop it.

Now I doubt there is anyone in group c), people cant be that blind, which leaves us to ask how many cops belong to group d).

Because anyone in a) and b) is equally bad in my opinion, so before screaming for someone to shut the fuck up, tell me, how many people belong in d)?

These are the people that we give power over ourselves. They better damn well be able to make good decisions and handle stress. If not, they don't deserve the power that cops have.

 

[Frank]

e) Cops who know about it and do what they can, which often not a whole hell of a lot, sadly, to stop it.

Most of us fall into E unfortunately. When something like what happened in that video happens, the man is brought down. Unfortunately, my own organization has a massive black eye going for it right now with the ongoing tazer death situation with a polish man nearly two years and what buttfuck little was done to investigate the truth behind what had actually happened. It's infuriating when brass tries to sweep that shit up.

And 99.99% of the time they do. It's infuriating to be lumped in with assholes like that when you know for a fact it's an incredibly rare occurance.

 

[North_Ranger]

Is it just me or do the policemen in the States suffer from lack of respect (from the public side)?

 

[Le Quack]

I'm willing to bet its more often than .01% of the time.

Also, how are citizens supposed to know the difference?
Better to treat them all like they abuse the law so you don't get into shit.

They all wear the same uniform. How can we pick the good ones from the bad ones?
We can't. Don't blame the populace for overreacting for shit like this.

A thought:

If you encounter a good cop, and treat him like he abuses the law, your defiance will be dealt with properly. Police 1, Quack 0.

If you encounter a bad cop, and treat him like he abuses the law, your defiance will be either dealt with properly, or improperly. Police 1, Quack < 0.

You are 'in shit' either way, I would wager.

Oh, I dunno...

I've been at and seen a couple of protests here in Finland (nothing of the G20 magnitude of course, and I stopped going once I became a little more cynical), and I've never seen anyone start throwing that shit what I saw in those videos.

And before anyone starts wondering what kind of a meek, police-beaten nazi nation I live in... I've only seen police in riot gear once, and that was several years ago.

Aah. Well, even if I could tell you with 100% confidence that every last cop in the world was a good cop, I would probably prescribe that course of action anyhow.

Or, a similar one. Not sure how I like 'scared' as a descriptor, but it seems not far off of appropriate.

Dude... Now you're just being an asshole.

That symbol actually pre-dates the Third Reich: a blue swastika was the personal good luck charm of the Swedish aristocrat, Count Eric von Rosen, who donated his plane to the fledgling Air Force in 1918. As a show of gratitude and respect, the swastika was in common use in Finnish military symbolism until 1945, when it was removed by the Allied Control Commission (i.e. a corps of 200 Soviet and 15 British officers who were sent to Finland after the war to oversee that Finland complied with the terms of the Moscow armistice).

 

[Twitch]

A guy on the street pulled a gun on me today. I went to the police. The dude I talked to was a waste of oxygen. I went to another cop, asked to file a complaint. He helped me file the complaint from just the guys first name and the time I called, then he sent a squad car to find and pick up the guy. Mother fucking cops can all rot in hell.

I think he's just messing with you, until the twenties the US military and the fucking boy scouts used them. I bet Canada did as well. And earlier when Frankie said not just the states he meant it because he's an officer up in the great white north.

So the ass in me wants to say that the way to treat good cops is to not be polite. The rest of me just wants to warn you that cops, they can smell fear, they know when you fake it. They're coming for you le quack. And when they do... god help us all. It's black vans and death camps for the lot of us.

I'm 100% sure he was joking.

And I'm 100% sure you misinterpreted his previous post. When he talked about Police lacking respect "not just in the States" he meant it's also the case in Canada where he's a Mountie.

 

[North_Ranger]

Okay, I misinterpreted the "not just in the States" thing. I forgot he was a mountie.

And the swastika thing... I prefer to err on the side of human ignorance rather than assume people know about the heraldic tradition of a small European nation

Yeah, not serious at all. Sorry if I offended.

 

[crono1224]

I sense much anger about police, you know i have heard from several officers noticing differences from being in a rough city and getting flipped off and having people blow whistles when they enter a neighborhood (to warn people), to moving to a nice suburb and having people wave and being suprised.

I don't say that to prejudice either side, but merely stating that even subconciously they would be more willing to go that extra mile to protect you if you treated them with respect and decency. Sure some abuse powers are assholes, but tell me what incentive is that cop going to put his life on the line for you, if you just called him a fucking dirty pig?

He doesn't have to rush in to save you from a robber or what ever, his job is for him to be safe.
