Disgusting.

Why the fuck is this guy being rewarded? Why the fuck do cops get away with everything in the US? Your cops literally murder and assault whomever they want and get away with it.

[QUOTE=Bazsil;49835220]oh my god you're right! how have i never seen this before! oh shit a cop is murdering me right now![/QUOTE] Yeah because police brutality isn't a huge issue in your country or anything. Good thing you're here to be a dismissive asshole, I would have never known otherwise!

Keep up the good job pal, you're a star poster[/QUOTE] I don't really think it's as big of an issue as many people make it out to be, at least not in terms of it being a common occurrence. At least considering how the news seem to jump at any opportunity to cover it, it can't be too common. What [i]is[/i] an issue though is that even when it's plain as day for all to see that something was police brutality, such as in this case where it was literally caught on camera, even then they usually get off without any serious sentence.

[QUOTE=AntonioR;49835977]Too bad the media never mentions the good cops.[/QUOTE] Yeah and rightfully so. Police officers doing their job — what they are paid to do, is not considered newsworthy unless they go above and beyond the call of duty and exhibit exemplary performance.
[QUOTE=Bazsil;49835296]or, considering the context, rather than going for that epic (shitty) zinger you can just assume i'm not german[/QUOTE] You caught me. I was naive enough to assume only a non-American would be foolish enough to make a post like that in a thread whose topic of discussion is literally about an American police officer kicking someone in the head and being paid a quarter of a million dollars as a result.
