Family Guy writer arrested at Occupy Los Angeles, writes about police brutality - Polidicks

[url=http://myoccupylaarrest.blogspot.com/?mid=5490]Source[/url] It's long, so I'll just quote snippets here. Try to read it all before posting. [release]When the LAPD finally began arresting those of us interlocked around the symbolic tent, we were all ordered by the LAPD to unlink from each other (in order to facilitate the arrests). Each seated, nonviolent protester beside me who refused to cooperate by unlinking his arms had the following done to him: [b]an LAPD officer would forcibly extend the protestor’s legs, grab his left foot, twist it all the way around and then stomp his boot on the insole, pinning the protestor’s left foot to the pavement, twisted backwards. Then the LAPD officer would grab the protestor’s right foot and twist it all the way the other direction until the non-violent protestor, in incredible agony, would shriek in pain and unlink from his neighbor.[/b][/release] [release][b]I unlinked my arms voluntarily and informed the LAPD officers that I would go peacefully and cooperatively.[/b] I stood as instructed, and then [b]I had my arms wrenched behind my back, and an officer hyperextended my wrists into my inner arms. It was super violent, it hurt really really bad, and he was doing it on purpose. When I involuntarily recoiled from the pain, the LAPD officer threw me face-first to the pavement.[/b] He had my hands behind my back, so I landed right on my face. The officer dropped with his knee on my back and ground my face into the pavement. It really, really hurt and my face started bleeding and I was very scared. I begged for mercy and I promised that I was honestly not resisting and would not resist. My hands were then zipcuffed very tightly behind my back, where they turned blue. [b]I am now suffering nerve damage in my right thumb and palm.[/b][/release] [release]They forced us to kneel on the hard pavement of that parking garage for seven straight hours with our hands still tightly zipcuffed behind our backs. [b]Some began to pass out. One man rolled to the ground and vomited for a long, long time before falling unconscious. The LAPD officers watched and did nothing.[/b] At 9 a.m. we were finally taken from the pavement into the station to be processed. The charge was sitting in the park after the police said not to. [b]It’s a misdemeanor. Almost always, for a misdemeanor, the police just give you a ticket and let you go.[/b] It costs you a couple hundred dollars. Apparently, that’s what happened with most every other misdemeanor arrest in LA that day.[/release]

great, now watch as fp completely discredits this because they think theyre too smart to watch family guy

It's an out of control situation, this "non-violent protesting" doesn't do shit. Didn't do anything it the 60's. Still doesn't do shit now. The Occupy people have totally lost focus.

L.A. why am I not surprised?

Who cares whether this guy writes a show they don't like? He's suffered from police brutality, and that's disgusting.

Jesus christ, how the fuck do these people get away with this shit. It's fucking ridiculous.

The police need to realize that they are human too and that they too have family and friends.

fucked up

[QUOTE=faze;33634671]Didn't do anything it the 60's. [/QUOTE] yeah all those civil rights protests didn't do anything am i right?

So he receives police brutality cause his natural uncontrollable reflexes were working right? Rediculous.

[QUOTE=thisispain;33634711]yeah all those civil rights protests didn't do anything am i right?[/QUOTE] I wasn't referring to that and you know it.

[QUOTE=faze;33634737]I wasn't referring to that and you know it.[/QUOTE] you cited the 60s, the era that practically defined the effectiveness of peaceful protesting, as an example of how peaceful protests don't work

i tell you, if they were to pull that on me i'd wrench their gun from them or pepperspray.

[QUOTE=faze;33634737]I wasn't referring to that and you know it.[/QUOTE] you put non-violent protesting around scare quotes and said it didn't do anything in the 60's, excuse me for not understanding your ridiculous brain process.

holy ass the fucks that did this should be in jail

[QUOTE=faze;33634737]I wasn't referring to that and you know it.[/QUOTE] then fucking point out what you're talking about when you say something.

These policemen have seriously lost touch with fucking human decency. It's disgusting how they can be like this. It's like they get off with brutality.

[QUOTE=TheDestroyerOfall;33634765]i tell you, if they were to pull that on me i'd wrench their gun from them or pepperspray.[/QUOTE]And then suddenly there would be five boots where your adam's apple used to be.

God damn it. I want to be a Police Officer, and I think there's nothing more noble than being one, but the pigs that do this to innocent defenseless civilians should be arrested and sent to jail. This stuff really needs to stop.

[QUOTE=TheDestroyerOfall;33634765]i tell you, if they were to pull that on me i'd wrench their gun from them or pepperspray.[/QUOTE] Not the best idea, especially considering the multiple other armed officers that would be in the general area. If anything you would be getting shot, tazed, or tackled down.

[QUOTE=TheDestroyerOfall;33634765]i tell you, if they were to pull that on me i'd wrench their gun from them or pepperspray.[/QUOTE] the point of non-violent protests is to not fight back, so you gain sympathy for not doing anything else besides protesting, so good thing you're not there or you'd get their movement bad publicity.

[QUOTE=tyanet;33634837]God damn it. I want to be a Police Officer, and I think there's nothing more noble than being one, but the pigs that do this to innocent defenseless civilians should be arrested and sent to court. This stuff really needs to stop.[/QUOTE] Every person who aspires to be a good cop should try to get on with Internal Affairs or something

I dunno Lois, I never trusted cops after that one time I was brutalized by police at an Occupy protest

Going to be honest. I disagree with arresting them for protesting, but what the cops did does sound like a smart way to get them unlinked fast and without causing permanent injury.

[QUOTE=TheDestroyerOfall;33634765]i tell you, if they were to pull that on me i'd wrench their gun from them or pepperspray.[/QUOTE] Good luck with that.

[QUOTE=Zeke129;33634853]Every person who aspires to be a good cop should try to get on with Internal Affairs or something[/QUOTE] I've certainly thought about it. Nothing pisses me off quite as much as a so-called "Police Officer" going around and breaking the law. The people that they are supposed to protect and to serve trust them with more power than that majority of us experience, and then they abuse their power and our trust. Personally though, I would honestly rather be out working with people and doing my duty as an officer of the law.

Fucking seriously!? Something seriously needs to fucking change. Also: anyone that's going to say "well they're both equally bad, and you really only hear about the bad cops" is going to get a boot to the face from across the internet for being such a dumbass. Is every cop bad? Of course not. Does that mean that there isn't widespread brutality / corruption for the departments dealing with the Occupy movement? No. Tyanet: Pursue your dream of being a good cop.

[QUOTE=TheDestroyerOfall;33634765]i tell you, if they were to pull that on me i'd wrench their gun from them or pepperspray.[/QUOTE] yeah, okay

american police are fucking stupid simple enough
