Spanish Police Brutality Multiple Choice Time

Tyler Durden's picture




 

When is the best time to attack a woman if you are a Spanish policeman?

a) When she is non-threatening

b) When she is defenseless

c) When you are caught on tape

d) Anytime really

e) All of the above

This Spanish upholder of the law has just passed with flying colors: fast forward to 30 seconds in.

Things that go bump's picture

"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, polkers, or whatever else was at hand? After all, you knew ahead of time that those bluecaps were out at night for no good purpose. And you could be sure ahead of time that you'd be cracking the skull of a cutthroat. Or what about the Black Maria sitting out there on the street with one lonely chauffeur – what if it had been driven off or its tires spiked. The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If... if... We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation. We spent ourselves in one unrestrained outburst in 1917, and then we hurried to submit. We submitted with pleasure! ........... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward."

Time to stop listening to lying politicians and start listening to trend forecasts.

"DSK" style justice -- just another dirty bitch. She is noted sweeping the street to clean up trash earlier in the video. Clearly aggressive behavior.

Lets face it, we're softer than the arabs. Otherwise the whole of europe would be burning. I understand why people want to film and take pics, but why are there people on the front line holding $1000 cameras? Can't be too desperate - why not sell it for a goat and move to the country?

Secondly, as the peaceful phase is over, people have to stop being surprised and indignant about these acts and come prepared. Maybe the best idea would be to track down where the police live, with some kind of annonymos hack and stick a little burning surprise through the letter box!

Lets not beat about the bush here!

Dunno if anyone remembers this, but in 2006 a tape (was) leaked that had the Hungarian Prime Minister addressing his party and explicitly detailing the fact that they had cooked the books, falsified economic data, committed fraud towards internal budget as well as EU. To win the election they had just won. Extend 'n' pretend, explained on primetime TV news.

 

People were a bit (ahem) upset. Took to streets. Crashed into national state TV HQ. Then days of riots. Tear gas was so thick, thousands living in surrounding square blocks could barely stay at home for days.

 

Storm troopers were deputized (similar to TSA organization in terms of training, expertise, etc.),given riot gear and turned loose on anyone in the street, rioter or otherwise.

 

There was a bit of a fight, but opposition was not organized enough, anger wasn't quite strong enough, desperation was not complete enough...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyNHfto_3E4

 

I liked the part where the demostrators fired up an ancient T-34 that had been used as a movie prop... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zndUB0zOdU If only for a brief moment, the tables were turned (if only symbolically).

 

Like CogDis often mentions, there will be no concession gained by 'asking' from those wielding power. And those wielding the power have any because we comply.

 

10-20% of the population participating (such as we saw in Tunesia and Egypt), with enough concentration in one place CAN BE sufficient. But it has to go beyond sitting in groups of a few dozen, waiting to be beaten to a pulp. Ultimately, the people need to hang together otherwise they will hang separately.

We are being brain trained.  We let the TSA fondle our children and wives.  Our politicians just passed the patriot act for another 4 years. Ron and Rand Paul were overpowered by their fellow Republicans who supported our loss of liberty with another 4 years or the Loss of Liberty Act.  Our brain dead politicians just gave the President unlimited new war powers including the ability to wage war against Americans at home because they feared if they did not they would be labeled as unpatriotic.  How fucked up have we become?  Our rights are already gone people. To pretend they are not is ignorance. A revolution is slowly brewing but most will stay home and watch it on the government filtered media.

Apart from being an utter disgrace , this type of brutality has exactly the opposite effect as that intended by the authorities . Rather than silencing protesters it merely steels their resolve and attracts more people to the cause . Many of the recent uprisings in the Middle East and N.Africa only metastatized after the heavy handed tactics of the police/military . 

One of the best examples of just how futile this approach to conflict resolution truly is can be seen currently in Uganda . The opposition leader , Kizza Besigye , who was thoroughly trounced in a recent presidential election , staged a few protests against government corruption and rising commodity prices . Numbers for these initial protests were very poor ; at some only dozens attended . However , when the police decided to use violent suppression protests turned into riots and dozens became thousands . 

It amazes me that authorities can't seem to grasp the direct correlation between brutal crackdowns and protest size growth .

it'd be nice to see the people of the US fight back for once but let's hope it is against the political class, executives, bankers or the real button pushers and not against the SWAT Team who have a bunch of fun toys paid for with our tax dollars and a lot of free time.  it is funny to me how Amerikans dont think it could every happen at home all the while political, economic, and global stability in general continue to erode.  What is in the water, why do people watch TV, and why do people believe what they're told as if this world was a utopia?  These protests in Spain, Greece, Ireland, London are real.  We have freedom to assembly and then get beat up for it.  We have freedom of speech but youtube, newspapers, and freedom-fighters are censored?  The people of the world need to disrupt the flow of funds that is business as usual and particularly big business, TBTF banks, and therefore tax receipts.  If we all stopped paying taxes the game would be up.  Tell your friends about Spain, Greece, Ireland, MENA and compare it to our situation.  This is "Us" vs "Them." The protest, party, and subsequent beating is coming to a city near you. Here's one for the people and another loss for the Western Empire.

Good point.
I clashed with the police...in the '70s, in a similar social situation that is now all but forgotten.

But we knew these bastards would come and come for trouble...and we were ready. Some of us would be tooled for trouble, and when they dared, when they felt assured....they found themselves surrounded, 5 to 1, 10 to 1...and they fell under the blows, and lost shields, batons and all, that would be used against them and then thrown at the end of the day.

They would fall..and didn't get up again, and their vehicles would burn under the petrol bombs...and THEY themselves would burn. They even tried with tracked vehicles... I even saw an M113 stopped dead on its track and burnt down with a coordinated attack.

After that, they quickly learnt to respect the crowds, they watched from afar, tried to be unobtrusive and unprovocative as they could.

They never tried firearms....good for all. But if they try that...and you are ready,they will quickly learn.

The Americans who started the American Revolution were terrorists for the King of England...that was the Government then.

To be fair: we can't really be sure that woman was "non-threatening."  She's off-camera right before the attack.

She might've been the cop's mom, telling him he'd be in trouble when dad got home.

Manifesto of the Spanish Revolution (English version)

Manifesto in English

WHO ARE WE?

We are individuals who have come together freely and voluntarily. Each of us has decided, after the concentrations on Sunday, May 15, that we are determined to continue fighting for dignity and political and social awareness.

We do not represent any political party or association.

We are joined by the singular cause of change.

We are brought together by integrity and solidarity with those who are unable to join us.

WHY ARE WE HERE?

We are here because we desire a new society that puts lives above political and economic interests. We demand a change in society and an increase in social awareness. We are here to make it known that the people have not fallen asleep, and we will continue fighting…peacefully.

We send our support to the friends that have been detained for participation in these concentrations, and we demand their immediate release with no criminal charges.

We want all of this, and we want it now. If you are with us, come join us.

“Better to risk and lose than to lose without having risked at all.”

Yes, totally harmless people. (ironic)

120 people were injured 37 of them were policemen.

The funny thing is that the best way to clean the square of "those" people, it´s to offer them a job. Most of the people there will refuse it and would run away.

PD. totally agree that politicians are a scam everywhere, but how you presented this new is sensantionalist.

PD2. there´s a difference between the "V"  Vendetta film and Guy Hawkes and this kinda of "dog-flute" movements.

The anarchists were incredibly successful in Spain by all accounts.  Those that worship the state or are believers in its propaganda are often dismissive.  They can't conceive of true freedom because they're so accustomed to enslavement.  I'd suggest to anyone if they have the time to read up on some anarchist history and philosophy before developing an opinion.  The schools of anarchist thought are by far the most viciously attacked and distorted by the global elite.  There's a lot of disinformation out there.
