When Police Aren't Busy Protecting Citizens
 
...they're busy shooting them. With rubber bullets.

And then they laugh about it, later.

Officer off-camera: Who was the lady behind the sign?
Commanding Officer: Pardon?
Commanding Officer: The good news is, the good news...
Officer off-camera: Do we have intel on her?
Commanding Officer: The good news about being able to watch you guys live on TV is that lady with the red dress...
Commanding Officer: I don't know who got her, when it went through the sign and hit her smack dab in the head
Officer off-camera: Do I get a piece of her red dress?

So, a lady with a sign that says "Fear Totalitarianism" is shot with a rubber bullet while conducting a peaceful protest (I checked the Constitution, you're allowed to do this, at least, for a little while longer), the perps - I mean, law officers - laugh about it, and yet we aren't supposed to be worried about suppression of our rights. I guess she was nailed in order to protect us from terrorists, huh?

Why do you two hate America?

More unAmerican hate speech.

Maybe she proved too much a target in that red dress.

Thirty years from now, will kids be saying,
"Didn't you realize what was happening?"

photo shop! Therefor nothing ever happened!

Well, these are the guys you're supposed to call and wait for rather than defend yourself, right? Ah...no...this is Florida. These are the guys you call to do the paperwork *after* you defend yourself.

She's gonna sue them, and they've got it coming. This is the same state where the DEA undercover literally shot himself in the foot in front of a class of kids.

Kitsune 08-11-2006 01:17 PM

Heh. I had to see that one again.

Sorry, I thought it was obvious that I was being sarcastic. But you can never be sure.

Kitsune 08-11-2006 01:25 PM

Video of the shooting.

Why not? That's what they said thirty years ago.

Yep...and then Nixon was impeached and a bunch of his co-conspirators prosecuted.

Wonder when that will happen again? I mean for something other than lying about blow jobs.
