How The Swiss Deal With Police Brutality

Tyler Durden's picture




 

With all the world's eyes firmly focused on Ferguson, Missouri; we thought the following clip from a Swiss soccer match would provide some context for what is possible...

As Martin Armstrong explains,

When a fan ran out onto a soccer field, several policeman tackle him and start beating him with clubs.

 

This conduct outraged the fans so much, people from the stands stormed onto the field and chased down the police for their inappropriate actions.

Why is a Barney Fife respect-mah-authoritah asshole, an asshole who was clearly having a grand old time jabbing his nightstick into the guy on the ground, getting his ass stomped by outraged vigilantes "not funny"?

As far as our government minders 'learning the wrong lessons from this', that horse done left the barn a loooong time ago. Google 'Philly PD bombs MOVE' - 5 *children* killed. Google 'Ruby Ridge' - a 13-year-old boy shot in the back. Google 'Waco/Mt. Carmel' - 76 people killed, including 21 children. Google 'Bounkham Phonesavanh' - he's the 2-year-old boy who was horribly burned and nearly died when our brave noble Security Forces popped off a flash-bang grenade in his fucking CRIB.......because they were hunting a "bad guy" for being a drug fiend. (naturally, the cops deny deny deny doing anything wrong - "we followed procedure perfectly" - and refuse refuse refuse to pay for the kid's hospital bills)(naturally) One thing the brave noble Security Forces don't publicize about that raid is this: "Amount of meth allegedly sold to a police informant before the raid that nearly killed Bounkham Phonesavanh: $50 worth."

It's crystal clear they view us as The Enemy, and have done so for decades. So stomp 'em while you got 'em, Swissies!

I remember an interview with Jesse Ventura some 100 years ago.

He told (I believe it was Alex Jones), given his past as a marine, that his team of 10 men would easily lockdown the entire east coast - judging by the behaviour of the police and feds at the time of said sniper attacks.

Give him 10 teams, he added, and they will close the entire US (maybe he didn't mean the flyover countries?). There was some food for thought...

About a year ago, the police arrested a woman in a marketplace in my city.
The woman looked pretty normal and she didn't know why the police arrested her and kept asking why she was getting arrested. There where 3 cops and they also started being brutal and pressed her on the ground.
And arround that market there where hundreds of people sitting on a terras drinking their beers and enjoying the weather but when they pressed her on the ground, I think there where about a hundred people standing up and going to the police.
First slowly untill people started yelling to the cops to relax.
They didn't listen and the cops where surrounded by the crowds.
People just held back the police, and people called other cops to arrest the cops who where brutal.
They didn't allow the woman to go away and she was also arrest for stealing from a store but it didn't jsutify such brutal behavior and also the cops where arrest because of the claims from the people.

I don't have a problem with cops at all but they do have to follow the law and behave like normal people.

I have been at celebrations that have gotten out of hand (block parties). The cops were very civil on the periphery and never ventured into the crowd. The only reason they would have done this (I was told later by a friend who was with the police force) is if a person was injured or harmed or if the fire departement was called. The "party" was out of hand as far as I was concerned (I left almost immediately) but the police knew that 1. they were vastly outnumbered and 2. any stupid action by one cop would mean immediate escalation.

Law of the jungle.

Up to about 200 yards no problem.

 

100 yards, 40S&W, iron sights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcQpMXCKaDI

200 yards with scope. 9mm, not 40S&W: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgEPzZM6U20

240 yards, 9mm, iron sights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjYYrCzmCRA

440 yards. 9mm iron sights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wXFf34bB34

 

Still lethal at 400 yards.

If you have a pistol it might be worth picking up a carbine with matching magazine and ammo, they are relatively cheap even compared to pistols and as above, let you reach out to 200 yards, plus can nearly double the bullet energy in the longer barrel.

Look I am no fan of the government but the whole thing about 16 billion rounds being some kind of conspiracy is just horseshit. It is a known fact that fucked up sweetheart deals happen ALL THE TIME. This one just happens to be for bullets and the parties making the deal were dumb or did not care that it could go viral and make them look like shit. Another issue is all federal forces of any kind MUST PRACTICE WITH THE AMMO THEY CARRY. Therefore NO ball ammo or substitutes. Now you would be surprised at how many rounds certain agents for things like the FBI have to fire in order to maintain their quailifications.

You know what blows my mind about this whole thing? It's that we sit here and see incidents like 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UC_Davis_pepper-spray_incident

and this

http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/staten-island-man-dies-puts-choke-ho...

all the time. 

Incidents that clearly show both white people and black people putting up absolutely no resistance to police and as clear as day you can see them being beaten, abused and sometimes ending in death. In the U.C case the policeman who pepper sprayed those kids got 38k for his troubles!

And yet we latch onto this Michael Brown situation where the guy sure as hell looks like he committed a robbery and quite possibly charged that police officer and assault him and this is the one we use for our rallying cry?

Maybe it's me but I just find it pretty bizarre. It's too bad it was not one of the above incidents as the Michael Brown one is a very divisive incident where the cops may not be as much in the wrong as ther others and ends up with a lot of people having sympathy for the police.

When public opinion finally turns against "them" (and this certainly does seem to be happening, right now), the "authorities" will have to play all their cards, including the ones they believe are "trump" cards (i.e. "state of emergency", "martial law", etc).  That will push the rest of the fence-sitters into the street, and then it's on.

Here in the fine state of Maryland, we have a wonderful and farsighted Governor who envisioned future conflicts between the citizenry and the many police in Maryland. To prevent such occurrences, Gov. Martin O'Malley has successfully pushed through his anti-gun legislation which renders many handguns, rifles and their magazines illegal overnight. Thrilled that government is finally doing something comprehensive, all gun owners in Maryland have either turned these weapons in to the police or have thrown them off the Bay Bridge in a show of support for O'Malley's activist government. The gun legislation is sure to help O'Malley in his bid for the presidency as much as the rain tax which received national coverage due to its unique approach to creative taxation.

So don't look for any trouble between the cops and the citizens of Maryland. We're "all in" with O'Malley and completely unarmed and compliant.

That's the nature of these things. You don't 'pick' the incident that sets off the riots. At these times, the incident sort of picks itself. The masses are on a hair-trigger, and it is that small, seemingly insignificant, or even unrelated, incident that tips the whole thing over the edge.

Like a minor member of European royalty gets shot and starts WW2...people back then might have thought, "All the shit that has happened, and they go off for THIS?"

Yeah, but the most important thing is NO GUNS.

If the cops/guards/whatever had guns the first 10-20 would have been knocked down, then the crowd would've backed off.

If they kept coming cops coulda knocked down 40-50 of them before they were overrun, if they had 15 round weapons.

And that's just before reinforcements arrive.

Typically armed police carry assault rifles or 9mm machine pistols when on assignment, in addition to their sidearm.

Reality is even if there, the armed police would never have been involved in the altercation in the first place, leaving that to other on duty personnel and would have retreated rather than fire on the crowd. I've never heard of a case of an armed policeman firing on a crowd. Guns are not for riot control. They are there to deal with specific threats; gunmen, bombers, that kind of thing.

For now. The 'cops' on this video looked like they would have if they had the option.

I doubt the cops will back off like they did during the Rodney King riots now that they've upgraded to military equipment.

If Turd Ferguson escalates to cover 1/4 or more of St Louis i'd expect strike teams to start targeting protest leaders, and a few police stations to over run, all with live fire against civilians.

People of ZH often don't know what they're talking about... what's troubling though is that those who don't live here, speak Portuguese, or have any recollection of the event don't bother to do some basic research on the internet before making fools out of themselves.

That match was played in Geneva. As a result of those rent-a-cops getting beaten, for Euro 2008 the Cantonale Police (who usually wear two-tone blue uniforms) got issued shit kicker shin guards and riot helmets.

If the Police in the US continue exploiting the law in order to murder and terrorize US citizens then they should expect to be remembered and eventually retaliated against. Ferguson is the canary in the coal mine and is less about race and more about the increasing brutality of the Police State. I would not be at all surprised to start seeing these cops who murder unarmed citizens getting whacked on their way home in future. The people have had enough. I say if they want to play soldier send them to Iraq and fight ISIS. Kill two birds with one stone.

Every American should be compiling a list of known pol, crat, functionaries
(funcs), bankster criminals and gun and badge thugs, cops, in their sphere of influence--The Crimes Against the American People Database list (CAAP-DB)

Oath violating and treasonous gun and badge thugs, corrupt pols and crats, thieving banksters, etc. should be placed on it. Their names, crimes and positions should be, at a minimum, kept for future reference and trial.

When the DC US finally collapses, these lists can then be used to root out the known
criminals that will think that they can hide among their victims--no "Truth and Reconciliation" here.

It's nice living in a small town where, if one of the boys in blue flies off the handle, he will need to explain himself to half dozen good ol' boys down at the coffee shop.

Not sure how they do it in big cities like St. Louis, but it seems like cops should be assigned beats in the hood they live in.

For sure, we need more sites like cop watch, but on a local level. Maybe a department in yelp for " officer ratings."

There seem to be a lot of citations issued on the street in front of my place these days. I think I'll turn my security cameras toward the street, in case a local citizen needs some back up data.

Also installed a dash cam that records gps, speed and audio as well. Just to keep the law dogs civil when I'm pulled over for major crimes like not having my lights on on a slightly overcast day, or driving with a burned out license plate illuminator at night.

Well done, they are not dumb down. American's are dumb down in general to allow their repressors rein. Obviously we have hope with various resistance movements. Although the guy is wrong for running on the pitch, they clearly do not need to beat him when he's already in cuffs. Good move by the SWISS PEOPLE. Not sure if they are like that nowadays though as the DC fascists have infiltrated Switzerland. Evident from their selling off of their central bank gold not long ago.

Fuck the power-trippin' police.

People wouldn't be so generally pissed off, but if you let a bunch of bankers rape the system, let corporations pretend to be human beings without responsibility and watch our so-called "representatives" void the prospects of American's future by selling-out to billionaire Singularity fantasy interests then the police merely become a symbol of everyone's frustration and resentment.

I personally know the chief of police and sheriff in my fair city. 

I ran around with all sorts of domestic and international crime fighters for years for Truth, Justice and the American Way.

I should have nothing to fear because I am the system - on paper.

But when a police cruiser rolls up behind me at a stop sign I am scared because it can all turn for no reason.

Absolutely correct action by the fans ...in my opinion. Seems to stem from a police policy of "zero tolerance". The young fan running across the pitch was doing no harm and there were no victims. A trivial misdemeanour. No need for the police to overeact with such violence, but it happens all the time.

If retaliatory action by fans is limited to giving the over-zealous policemen a hiding, they'll think twice before pushing their weight around in future.

A lovely sentiment, but a total lie.

 

How these dictums from the Declaration or Constitution ever get into the heads of otherwise fairly smart people who have been witness to the reality of things, the zeitgeist, the actuality of every day living is a triumph of Public Relations.   Say something that sounds like things as they SHOULD be, and often enough, and pretty soon it becomes a religious tenet, based on nothing.
