I always read your name as bassex pander instead of bass expander and I'm wondering if anyone else has trouble with this.

NSFW language but that reminded me of this a bit. At least the mentality

bassexpander - I thought it was bass as in the sound or instrument and expand as in make larger? What the hell is bassex and pander - pandering to the basics? Totally off topic, but Koveras started it!

Bass Expander. It's a feature on the stereo or something, isn't it?

Anyway...

Agreed, he does need to lose his job.

Bad-guy lies down on the ground ... knows that he isn't going anywhere ... and along comes Sgt Bubba ... kicks him in the head - but NOT only that, he then puts his gun away, pulls out his mace, gives the bad-guy a good spray of that (just for good measure i guess).

BUT wait ..... along comes Sgt Chuck Chuckerson who promptly drops a knee on the guy - Bubba then does too.

What a joke ... I can just picture Bubba and Chuck in their cars during the chase, heavy breathing, gripping the steering wheel, hunched over it with excitement ... squealing, woohooing, yelling to themselves such things as "Oh you're in for a whooping boy" .. "Yes, yes! Im on you, Im on you like a bad rash mother f'cker" .... Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes

What kind of anarchists are you?
Obviously never been mugged. Never been a victim of one of these gangland punks.
Anyway, the nice peace officer obviously slipped as the neatly kept lawn still had a glaze of morning dew on it.
I mean they don't wear football cleats, ya know.
Jeebus what's wrong with you people?
I was freaking out that FOX had such a bleeding heart commentator, til I saw FOX la . Ain't that a hoot?

If it is on Fox News, then I am sure that enough people will make complaints to at least warrant a disciplinary action. Nothing compared to the brutality of cops in Korea though.

Sure the protesters are fighting back (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhHCsYJ9KTM), but what happend to stun guns and tear gas? What about basic human rights and trying to eliminate physical abuse?
Quote:
What else can we expect from a human rights violating country? (http://www.hrea.org/lists/hr-education/markup/msg02426.html)
Korea has been making great strides after democratization, but the
violation of human rights by the authorities, the discrimination against
socially vulnerable people and minorities, and the five major
discriminations, such as the discrimination against gender, education,
person with disabilities, foreigners and non-regular employees are
evident. Under the circumstances, the NHRCK expects the Human Rights
Education Act to stop the violation of human rights through human rights
education to achieve social integration.

In case anyone things this article is talking about N. Korea, let me point out that only the south has been making progress in democratization.

lol, for trying to run from a cop in the states.

we need a "rodney king" every decade to show the kids what happens when you are a stupid criminal, as a deterant.

Awwww, they maced him! so what?

*and I'm ultra liberal....on almost everything....

It's strange, I can kind of see the kick to the head as justified but those jabs with the nightstick were over the top. That cop just wanted to lay into someone for fun.
If I had just chased some dude through the streets like that- witnessing him put countless peoples' lives at risk- and my adrenaline was flowing, I just might have given him a single boot to the head as well. It would certainly make putting the cuffs on him a little easier if he were knocked out.

I don't think you can ask officers to put their lives on the line daily and not cross that very fine line every so often. It was in the heat of the moment, in the actual process of arrest. Had he decided to kick him in the face 15 minutes later, after having cuffed him, then yes, he should lose his job.

I dislike what the cops did.

But I dislike what the criminal did even more.
