Sons of Franco.
"Hello, Lincoln Brigade?!?"
The very unlucky Spanish Anarchists, during the Civil War, were murdered en masse by both the Nationalists (Franco) and the Republicans (Spanish Communist Party/Stalin). In Barcelona, the Anarchist groups were the most genuinely popular among ordinary citizens. That didn't stop the NKVD, with American Communists in the Lincoln Brigades, from killing their leadership and foot soldiers. The history of Spain may be turning from the sunny post-1975 narrative to what it was from the time of Napoleon to the time of Franco. Vaya con Dios, Espana.
Dear Sir, the Spanish Communist party was not supported by Stalin on account of his links to France at the time. Therefore Stalin's communist party actually supported the right-wing fascists and Franco.
That is false. Period.

Spanish Civil War
During the Spanish Civil War, NKVD agents, acting in conjunction with the Communist Party of Spain, exercised substantial control over the Republican government, using Soviet military aid to help further Soviet influence. The NKVD established numerous secret prisons around Madrid, which were used to detain, torture, and kill hundreds of the NKVD's enemies, at first focusing on Spanish Nationalists and Spanish Catholics, while from late 1938 increasingly anarchists and Trotskyists were the objects of persecution. In June, 1937 Andres Nin, the secretary of the anti-Stalinist Marxist POUM, was tortured and killed in an NKVD prison.
Frankly, fascists and communists are two different but closely related flavors of socialism. The fascists allow free markets and companies favored by the state while commies do not. Both believe in centralized heavy handed states. They often compete because totalitarians never like competition. Both are ruthless and believe any means are justified on the way to achieving their ends. Both are nearly identical with single party rule, reeducation camps/death camps and ideological empires.
Junk away, Comrade Koba. Come over here to the U.S.A., we have a very special gift for the likes of you. Act now!
A nicer video perhaps.

Splendid stuff, I watched that and woke up 2 hours later having flushed all thoughts of my impending visit to Spain and being caught up in Civil War. I'm off to assess some failures in one of their desalination plants and I plan to avoid getting my head kicked in by the STASI.
You couldn't be so stupid. Stop lying to yourself.
Hitler supported Franco Nationalists. Stalin supported the Republican Socialist/Communist Party.
Thats FRANCO/HITLER.
Gives new meaning to the term 'running with the bulls'
To think that there won't be brutality is naive. The select few who have everything have just that: everything to lose. They won't go down without a fight. Even the paid thugs in this video are protecting their families. Gotta put food on the table somehow.
Imagine if the crowd were really pissed. Five to one, baby/ One in five/ No one here gets out alive...
Math never lies. We got the numbers.
... and they got the weapons, training, and communications infrastructure.
Then invest in kneepads because you'll be kneeling your entire life.
Kneepads, shinpads, elbow pads, kidney pads, Ileotibial-Tract pads, arm pads, head pads... it's all good.
The police are dressed for war... maybe the protestors should be, too.
... but we guard them while they sleep. They should not fuck with us.
The problem is... who are 'they'? A bunch of anonymised thugs granted the monopoly on violence. If you recognise one of them beating up a defenceless woman and happen to live next door to him, then great. Feel free to make your feelings known.
If she were my sister, he would be "visited" in the dark and when his army is away, mano a mano. I would quietly explain the reason for my visit.
+1000 What a fucking shame. My jaw drops to watch such police brutality. Going to the Gun shop tonight.
Need bigger and faster products. No explanations needed. They better not even think of it here.
Just what are the police pissed off about. Who do they serve. They are attacking citizens. Eh.
All totalitarian regimes depend completely upon a relatively loyal police force (which they often purge). I hope most Western countries could not count on that if an authoritarian leader emerged.
Women have endured this brutality from men all over the world for eons now. This is nothing new. In some countries, she is blamed for the beastality of men, in most others, a small percentage of men are even prosecuted. Try living in a country where homicide, robbery and burglary are not prosecuted, or in others where only 3% to 6% are prosecuted and convicted.
most importantly: they have a monopoly on the "legal" use of force.
Everyone say hi to the new Wanger.

Whoever junked you doesn't know diddly squat about the arms trade.
To date, there are over 45,000 expandables in service throughout Spain and over 3 million in
use by police agencies around the world.
http://images.afmo.com/pdf/asptechcare.pdf
Document contains manufacturer's details for Spanish batons [expandable].
Well I own an Asp too.
Right, so, those who make batons and tear gas are responsible for all the ways in which they're used. Suuuuuuure.
They probably thought they'd use them to grind paprika and elicit tears in street musicals. No culpibility there.
So who's more to blame? The seller of an inanimate object, or the user of the inanimate object? When in doubt, blame America! When it rains, blame America! When the police in a foreign country brutalize, blame America! Well, I guess the Europeans just can't stomach the fact that their "cultured, civilized" police are clubbing young, small women with American batons. So blame America, I guess. Ugh.
For the Blame America First crowd, they'd claim any rocks used were imported from the US.
Commie baby seals, club them while they are fresh.
Right on. Take a look at "Dutch Treat" @ 1316396 , at the top of the thread, he's a GENUINE Stalinist! Not just a commie, but a hard-core capital-C Commie! -- denying historical facts! Man, Europe is an F'ing swamp, what a nightmare. I'm just about ready to give up on ZH, the problem is, all these A-holes (sort of) know English....
Heh, check YOU out: it's 2011 and you still think Stalinism=Communism, how dumb is that?
And you're right, all this 'blame america' stuff is just plain redundant. I mean the US can't afford UHC but they spend a trillion dollars a year on making war on anyone poor enough not to be able to properly defend themselves but having lots of oil (or other valuable assets) to exchange for repairing the infrastructure destroyed by the war started by the US, is anybody really surprised when their weapons get used to stomp out the righteous?
Like the guy says, guns don't kill people, people kill people. It's kind of like blaming the US just because they created the first nuclear weapon; that doesn't mean they are responsible for those who first used it on civilian populationS.... erm, nm, scratch that last part.
My point was, that during the Spanish Civil War, Communist agents, under the direction of Stalin, killed Spanish Anarchists, in the thousands. That is a historical fact. Read some history, friend, there is much about the '30s (what Orwell called the Low, Dishonest Decade with good reason) that has been over-simplified, airbrushed, "sweetened." FYI I am not a jingoist, I am an American patriot, there are still a few dozen of us left.
Patriot? Hunh, I never had you pegged for someone who voted for Ralph Nader in 2008; live and learn.
Do you agree with the following quote,
"Patriotism doesn't mean simply going along with what your gov't says, patriotism means supporting the principles for which your gov't is supposed to stand"?
Ralph Nader? That washed-up, clueless wheel-spinner? He is the DEFINITION of someone rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, Waiting For Godot, or shall I say, Waiting for FDR. Begging the banksters to stop pounding up quite so hard, lol, good luck with that. If you haven't learned the futility of conventional politics on ZH, well.....
'Futile'? Hardly. Sheesh, you can misnome with the best of 'em:
Freedom of Information Act, Clean Drinking water Act.... Ralph Nader's list of contributions goes on for awhile regardless of your wilful ignorance. Pretty useful four (count em: 4) decades of service to mainstreet america, successful without even making it to POTUS, despite giving you four chances at it. It's not Ralph's fault you're too duped to recognize that he is the only one who would actually stand behind that constitution you allegedly hold in such high regard.
No problems with the quote, then?
But yeah, he's really really really old, now. Still got some 'fire in his belly', I've heard. Not so great in an O'Reilly bark-out these days, I know. Though he's never shied away from the opportunity, as far as his health allows...
He is anti-gun ownership, and pro-nanny state, so I oppose his politics, despite the fact that he is less reptilian than the average pol.
And your typical `All or nothing`, no compromise position, is exactly why the US will never escape the plutocracy that has captured it.
The 'Nanny state' talking point is such a tired overstatement; Ronald Reagan Rote. A trillion fiatscos plus annually go to changing the filthiest type of diapers daily on the 'bottle fed' military: Ralph as POTUS, if he survived long enough, would take care of that in a very 'anti-Nanny' sort of way. Even today that 'money' would buy a helluva lot of bandaids. RN would also undoubtedly abruptly wean corporations from the public's nipples, which would help set a lot of broken bones. IE you need to realize that you are IN a nanny state right now, and Ralph's actual goal is to get you out of it; the very opposite of your misapprehension.
One question to ask yourself when it comes to Ralph Nader: Do you really think he would have bailed out the banks before mainstreet in 2008, and everyday since?
IMO the probable answer to that question alone should have directed your voting the last 4 elections.
Thank you for automatically summarizing a couple of the more serious problems plaguing the American psyche, and the success of those propagating them.
Damn those Swedish batons and Italian Berettas. The Europeons are savages
Isn't baton a French word?
Lots of dodgy stuff is still in the original French.
Yes, it means stick
Guns are used for self defense and freedom. Guns are used for aggression and oppression. The problem is not the gun. Those who don't have them are usually doomed to oppression. That why the first thing all totalitarians do is to remove the right of ownership. It is always job one to maintain the oppression.
I think I understand your name now. You are missing the links between your brain cells.
That was an incredibly weak insult. I expect better on ZH.
Speaking of Amde in USA...read some of this guys work.
Shows how close we are to a Police State

'Right, so, those who make batons and tear gas are responsible for all the ways in which they're used. Suuuuuuure."

Yes, moron.
Yes.

Which is just a paper weight until a Spanish policeman picks it up.
But, carry on with bashing the US for any conceivable sin, however ridiculous.
LOL...yeah, I just got done cleaning my Berreta here, reloaded it and laid it down on the patio table here...to my amazement it jumped up and starting shooting randomly.
Damnedest thing I ever saw ;-)
They all come with their own auto-firing demon.
Just ask a commie lib.
Its amazing, it really is.
Its never the human...its always the knifes fault...or the car, the rope, the baseball bat, the gasoline, the electricity etc.
Its like some of us live in different worlds.
It is the result of social conditioning, where people are taught to blame a neutral object (a gun, a baton) for a bad outcome, instead of the bad person using the object, as a result of an ideological decision to excuse bad human behavior, while at the same time, encouraging the restriction of defensive techologies from the hands of civilians. It's a meme, or a mental sickness, that is endemic in certain societies and political circles.
Pretty much.
Exactly.
And its a great excuse to employ still more regulators/bureaucrats/statists of all descriptions...a little feed back loop all to its own.
I see you got three junks for speaking the truth, how cool is that? ;-)
Seeya
Or it is the result of social conditioning when people are taught to deny that objects are designed with an intent and to serve a purpose. Objects are not neutral.
Propagandists should renew their propaganda. The "people kill people, not guns" flawed approach has been debunked for ages now.
Objects are not neutral and the days a rich country army display butter knifes instead of AR is still to come. Somehow, people in situation no longer think that objects are neutral.
The US citizen nature is eternal.
"Propagandists should renew their propaganda. The "people kill people, not guns" flawed approach has been debunked for ages now."
Oh really? I myself prefer the saying, "Guns don't kill people, I kill people."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G52aaTFibHo
You know what, dude, you don't think that a French baton would have served the purpose as well? The American baton manufacturer was likely chosen because it was the lowest bidder, so the Spanish taxpayer was saved a few pesetas in meeting Spain's fascist-girl-clubbing needs. I'd say that the bad actor here was the SPANISH COP, but what do I know, I'm not familiar with Foucault's Theory of Agency for Inanimate Objects, must have missed that course offered for Europeans in their 11th year at "University".
And looking at the polls, not likely to change any time soon.
Even with the massive change in demographics.
Wow! That is an interesting assertion.
Did this come to you in a vision from HPV [sic] and Djwal Luke-Warm [sic]?
It doesn't even have to be taught. Ever seen a toddler "run" helter skelter and crash into a chair? Invariably, hell sya "bad chair!" It's up to the adults int he room to teach him that his actions caused the pain, not the chair.
Where are the adults in the room?!
Remember, when the SHTF and you are out there Constitutionally attempting to disperse the oligarch's gov it'll be this asshole, topcallingtroll and tgat pee on China bitch who'll be beating and murdering freedom seekers.
KKK Empire Redneck scum.
All you America haters do is make me want to club protesters.
Is that your goal?
I'm locked and loaded and waiting for little bitches like you who deserve to live off of other people's suffering. Ha! Bring it bitch!
Gonna take that baton and stick it up your ass sideways....literally!
Fascist bankster cock sucker!
Bitch, please.
Something tells me, Mr. Zaknick, that you are (1) a vegan, (2) have a single-speed bicycle (MSRP $789), and (3) live in a Portland, Oregon "commune." If I'm wrong, please correct me.
And something tells me you see anal polyps every time you open your eyes, which is a rare event. If I'm wrong, please correct me by correcting yourself and your knee jerk jingoist blather. Though judging from the massive load of manure you`ve dumped all over this thread you`ve got your work cut out for you; so despite the horrible smell I won`t be holding my breath...
You have nothing to offer but shit because you are full of it
oh snap! Nice outfit btw, did SoNH80 pick it up for you on the way back from the `ten minute hate`?
I don't like banksters, but I also don't like the NVKD. I like silver and gold, and don't like Iran. I don't like police brutality, but I do like the U.S. Constitution, and my countrymen in general. Is that exploding your 3rd-grade intellectual understanding? Whoops, better not "hog attention" by making cogent arguments, even though I've proudly made a donation to the site. Can't think too much, it's bad. Let's just throw out scatalogical one-liners and catch phrases like "bitchez."
Jingoism isn't a cogent argument. Use as many lines as you like, any conclusion based solely on it are most likely scatalogical, bitchez.
You are a commie douche, bitchez.
Coming from you: whatever that means.
Personal responsibility is asking a lot..
Now where have I heard that concept before? ;-)
As is often the case, digging a little deeper reveals...
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/may/27/spanish-protesters-clash-with-police
The verbal fist fight above is representative of the serious underlying social problems we have.
Through my own personal experience, I believe the vast majority of our military men are good people. Very good people. They do reflect society and as society has a few bad apples, so does the military.
On the other hand, we do have a little problem called the MIC and a history of empire building. This has led to a vast expansion of corporatism and the erosion of the Constitution [Cliff notes version.. ;)]
BOTH sides must realize the legitimate gripes of the other and FIX the problems rather than give in to the desire to beat the living hell out of the opposing view. It's the only way forward and upward, friends.
On the MIC...I don't have a problem at all with closing our bases and getting the hell out of europe...in fact I have advocated it frequently here.
Of course by us doing so, they would have to decide what level of security, if any, they want for themselves. This also implies their tax & spending may have to be...ummm, restructured ;-)
As for the damn fascists, who came from our schools of "higher learning" to become the titans of our financial, corporate, political & media world...that's going to be a much harder & longer slog I believe.
Europe has a real identity crisis on their hands. They want us far, they want us near, they don't know what the hell they want. How many countries, who inwardly/outwardly despise us, have also become 'entitled' to security/safety under our umbrella? Damn fine mess to untangle..
Best just wash your hands of it all then until they come back, cheque books in hand, begging for the US` mighty assistance.
Works for me.
Same here.
!
Those look like Swedish batons to me
They look like Spaniards to me
The 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team has been placed under the command of NorthCom for domestic use right here in "the land of the free".....more units are being added.....
Now you know what all that training in Iraq was for.
Al parecer todo sucedió así:
Marruecos quería atentar contra el gobierno de Aznar y como aperitivo comenzó tratando de arrebatarle a España el islote de Perejil. Con buen criterio, Aznar llamó a Bush y con el apoyo logístico de los norteamericanos la invasión quedó frustrada. Entonces los marroquíes, malhumorados por el ridículo que habían hecho, se pusieron en contacto con ETA para planificar el 11M. El PSOE estaba al corriente de todo a través de los contactos que tiene con la banda terrorista, puesto que siempre han estado negociando con ETA: antes y después de la elecciones del 14-M-2004. El atentado se llevaría a cabo el día 11 de marzo de 2004 para poder disfrazarlo de castigo islamista a Aznar y que así el PSOE ganase las elecciones, que era lo que más le interesaba a ETA. Lo que el PSOE jamás imaginó fue la magnitud que iba a tener el atentado en el que murieron tantos inocentes.
Pedro J dispone incluso de una grabación en la que se escucha claramente a Pepiño Blanco diciéndole a Rubalcaba: "ya está todo listo, Alfredo... todo el mundo se ha tragado lo de los islamistas... ¡¡hemos ganado las elecciones!!''. A raíz de esta información y de las numerosas pruebas que posee, Pedro J está siendo amenazado incluso por el propio Zapatero, pero él dice que no tiene miedo, que a él le pueden matar pero que lo que nunca podrán es matar su periódico. El diario EL MUNDO cuenta con un equipo de más de 1.000 personas investigando el 11M, en el que hay incluso guardias civiles, agentes del CNI, policías nacionales, jueces, investigadores privados, etc.
Rodriguez Ibarra le escribió una carta a Pedro J diciéndole que si es verdad que todo esto sucedió así, él exigirá la disolución del PSOE. También le pidió a Pedro J que no publicara la carta. Y esa es la única y verdadera razón por la que Rodríguez Ibarra ya no se presenta a la Junta de Extremadura en las próximas elecciones.
El plan de Pedro J, tal y como ha manifestado en la radio, es ir sacándolo todo a la luz poco a poco y justo antes de las próximas elecciones para darle la puntilla final al PSOE .
Recordad las palabras de Luis del Pino el otro día:
"Todo esto que está saliendo no es nada comparado con lo que va a salir en los próximos meses..."
Ya veremos lo que opinan los españoles cuando quede demostrado que el PSOE conocía que se iban a cometer los atentados del 11-M y por fin se desenmascaren estos sinvergüenzas.
A translation on an interesting phrase on your post:
"All this is starting and is nothing compared with we will have in a few months"
That is another developed world country going kaboom, this most likely will ensure another "creative destruction" rally on stocks.
As US politicians say "This type of stuff will never happen in the US"
If you see this forming trend and you are not worried for the entire humanity, you work at GS.
of course..
americans are not european pussies.. there will be guns, there will be blood..
alx
We will see, because its definitely coming here next!
First you're raped by banksters then beaten by police.
We're half way there!
americans are not european pussies.. there will be guns, there will be blood..
Maybe... but talking and doing are very different things. We'll see.
"americans are not european pussies.."
We will see. Thus far Americans have shown a strong capacity for being quite docile while bending over and holding their ankles for their owners.
We've also been nicely domesticated with food additives and high fructose corn syrup to create one of the more obese populations on the planet However, that might mean guns come out earlier since it's easier to shoot than walk one more block to front lines.
Further, our owners have ensured they will have a ruthless police force in America by sending our troops to endless wars where they can learn kill with impunity then come back and get a job on the police force.
The problem with starting violence is the owners then turn up the heat quickly. Cops beating a student is one thing, a pile of citizens beating a cop will play differently in the media and the large herd of traditionalist sheople will find themselves severely torn between fighting for their own freedom versus fighting an authority figure. Sure the cops are part of the repression at that point, but tons of people in this country will still compliantly bow to them.
IF such protests break out here, it will be interesting to see how it all happens since we will likely be one of the last countries to do so and the police will have honed their techniques on the crowds in other countries. Will the protesters have learned too or will they have smartened up along the way? Interesting times ahead.
Yes, but Americans have hundreds of millions of guns. The Europeons have been disarmed by their masters. The first thing Stalin and Hitler did were to ban the private ownership of guns.
Didn't stop paramilitaries in Ireland, Basques in Spain, from rearming. Get a grip, when the people decide to take up the gun, they just march in to the armoury and get them or ship them in from some sympathiser country like good old USA who want to see chaos so their sheep can BTFD. If you start firing at the police they will fire back for a while until they realise their own fucking families are in the crowd too. Havent you been following North Africa, Middle east lately. Anyway, it's more fun to walk up to a line and smack one of the pigs with your fists and have them come ahead if they think they are fucking hard enough. Us pussy Europeans enjoy a good old rammy with the law and you can be assured we are most definately not disarmed. Do your research lad. Anyway, hope it doesn't get bad before I'm back from Spain next week. I may even lend a hand.....
1st rule breaker? Study this hyperlink
Good luck to you, sir! I wish we had guns here in europe. But your police, laws, judges, army are going to come down a whole lot harder than these guys with sticks.
Half of the police and army would not turn on their own families and friends. The despots will be facing 100 million people with guns.
You are either very young, or incredibly stupid.
Either way, you are ignorant of History.
If Call of Duty has taught me anything, it's that in real life, there's no respawning.
Ah, fuck it. Bring it.
Take away their American Idol, Big Macs, and air conditioning and Americans will get ugly on your ass cuz every swingin' dick has a gun. Just wait: once they have a reason to get up off the couch it's GAME over for the socialist bankers who've taken over this country. It will be freakin' fast, too because even though the homeland is obese, we can move like LIGHTNING when our most sacred values are threatened. America, Über Alles.
Bullshit. We are docile like fucking lambs to slaughter. Just look at the airport. Yesterday, me and a couple dozen of my fellow passengers were herded through one of the naked x-ray machines without a single objection to the invasive nature of what was about to occur. I unfortunately went through with my belt on. When I was finished being bombarded by harmless radiation the TSA guy on the other end told me to remove my belt and that he was going to have to put his hands inside my pant line to make sure I was not carrying anything that could take down a 737 in my waistband.
I've committed no crime, am an elite member, and have no track record of terrorism...so I gritted my teeth and looked at the guy. In that instant of no response I could tell the guy was ready to assert his $30,000 a year tax-payer funded authority over me. He asked me in a very aggressive manner again to stick his hands inside my waistline to check for weapons. We were just one or two comments from tasers and plastic handcuffs being brought out simply because I was pissed about getting felt up without dinner or flowers.
Don't fucking tell me guns will be brought out. Whatever occurs will be wrapped up in protecting the public from terrorism, preventing anarchy, saving the American way, puppies, kittens, and free iPhones...the public will swallow it and like it.
Yet the people who protest having their genitals groped are being called crazed extremists by the lamestream media and their sheeple viewers.
You oughta turn off the teevee, Sun.
What you see there is just a story. It's designed to keep most people happily placated. In your case, it's working very well to keep you pissed-off and ranting on message boards and unhappily placated.
If you forget all that nonsense, you'll see there's a lot more widespread understanding of our society present amongst the citizenry. People aren't nearly as stupid as the teevee talking heads have you convinced they are.
Maybe not as stupid, but definitely as apathetic as Ralph Nader has me convinced they are.
There's apathy, sure, but that's because not enough people have been affected by our state of affairs yet. (Personally, I'm not sure that apathy is misplaced, either. It's not clear to me that the public has any significant influence on the actions of our power-institutions. We can do a lot for each other locally--that doesn't mean we have to worry about what Obama or Barney Frank have to say about anything.)
My point is simply to disbelieve what's "portrayed" as important to people from the same media that we all know is total bullshit.
Most here talk about how the media is full of lies, but when it comes time to discuss what "Americans" care about, how often do you see "sheeple" and "American Idol"? Where do these impressions of the citizenry come from? Day to day experience talking to people, or assumptions based on your own biases constructed during your indoctrination?
It's a Rorschach. Whatever you want to be true on teevee is true. If you disagree, it's not true.
We all must be careful with that.
...sounds fair enough. 'Generalization is unavoidable, but dangerous; watch your universals'. Right right right.
Tell them you are homophobic and insist on a womans hands in your pants.
Relax and enjoy.
I can't wait to have a federal cow put her hands down my pants. Rosie O'Donnell and Queen Latifah are HOT

No contagion.
For sure it has to be on tape. Why build a doomsday machine and not tell anyone? Putting it on tape will keep away the fence sitting protesters.
those fence sitting protesters are hungry and jobless, and might just grab a stone or stick... any moment...
You think they are scared? Peaceful (so far) yes, but scared, no.
No doubt. Those are probably the reasons the police are being so brutal: to send a message for people to stay home or else. Which is why it is on tape, so the news will send out the message for them free of charge.
It makes me more angry. When I see this happening in the US, it make me grab a brick and head to the local town square!
I think you're wrong Dr No.
You can see that there is a level of hatred in the police.
They were not disciplined.
They just wanted to "have a go".
But they have those cool, cool uniforms! They HAVE to be tough!
We are not in disagreement. My point is the gov is giving a show of force in order to act as a deterant. I would not be surprised if the riot control was made up of people who had a "special score" on the personality tests, which would agree with your observation they seem to be enjoying it.
The UK and Keystone helmets were designed to be pointy to make the constables look bigger and more throbbing.
The cops should be careful. Hitting innocent women that are photographing like that ... and you are very close to a point, where people will start to first hurt the police. Then to kill the police. There are people with principles still on this Earth.
Right on! Although nothing will change.... at least some pain will be shared.... with your fellow brother who happens to serve the elites... damn
Might I suggest to the rioters and other hippiez planning to make a showing at future events that they:
1. Head to the gym, setup a mass-building program. Heavy weights, low reps. One hour, 5x/week minimum
2. Start consuming protein shakes and lean mass gainers. These kids are easy pickins for the coppers. Size matters and these coppers don't look that big.
3. Better coordination. Single rioters bolting through the police line elicits potshots from rubber bullet guns.
4. Pad up like the cops do. Hit the local sporting goods store and get shin and knee pads. Suit up and get ready to rumble. The cops sure are.
LSD in water pistols might be fun.

Cop to woman - "Don't you know who I am, Baby?"
Stay classy, Spain.
I sometimes wonder what kind of personality type would ever want to be a cop.
I just got my checklist in 5 multiple choice questions.
Actually I think it's a lot harder to stereotype a cop personality than it is say a lawyer or a stockbroker or radiologist personality. At least in the US. Area of operation is probably the biggest determining factor but - small town, big city, rural, state - cops have run the gamut in my experience from the helpful, protect-and-serve type to the bone-crushingly stupid aggressive asshole and it always seems like it's the luck of the draw...
Have to agree. Cops are people. Some are good and some are bad. Some are smart; some are dumb. It probably depends on why they sign up and what their experience as a cop is.
agree as well. and this is from someone who used to blare NWA with the top down.
Is that a junk for NWA? Maybe they thought you said NWO.
was thinking about NWO today -- gotta hand it to Pappy Bush -- he did warn us all on 09/11/91 -- sneaky bastard sick fuck.
Detectives, state police, "community patrol" officers, e.g. mounted police, big-city cops generally (esp. in NYC) are a huge cut above the standard-issue small-town cop. Northern cops better than Southern cops, Eastern cops better than Western cops.
Can't disagree even more. Northern cops are self-entitled thugs who think the people should acquiesce to them since they're wearing a badge. Recent posting here on ZH referencing NJ cops working the Katrina mess in NoLo a few years back being the ones bent on confiscating home-owner's guns. Northern cops are fearful of an armed populace. Not an issue in the South or Mid-west . Northern cops can't handle the Constitution.
Cold day in hell before they beleive in the right of citizens to carry steel and protect themselves. Then their myth would be shattered.
Are you kidding? Southern cops less thuggish than Northern cops? LOL! BTW, "Northern" means Maine, NH, Michigan, Ohio, NOT Maryland-- Maryland is the South. Vermont allows LICENSE-FREE concealed carry. NH is shall-issue. I'm glad that we have such a bad reputation down there, it keeps our clean, tidy lands uncrowded and pleasant. I was in Richmond, Va., once, I thought there there was a solar eclipse happening, it was so dark, but it was just that the sidewalk was crowded.....

Racial division helps the oligarchs.
I have no problem with 90% of blacks, but that 10% that enjoys robbery as a hobby is a real problem. A neighbor in D.C. was killed by 3 Negroes for $10 and a tire-store credit card, bashed in the head with a lead pipe. Reality bites.
You should try saying "3 government handout slaves".
put your "10%" problem on a scale with the virtually 100% white banking class and see how heavy the REAL problem is.
reality bites.
