What justifes this over and over and over again?
Cognitive Dissonance is a powerful mindfuck. It transfixes it's host with the terror of inconvenient truth .. the brain becomes motionless .. and all avenues to critical thought are blocked.
Even science no longer makes sense.
Just saw that on the news earlier. The thing that struck me as I was watching it is that only the tiniest percentage of these things are probably caught on videotape.
There is a major problem when something like this can happen, and every cop present joins in, without one saying anything or attempting to stop it.
Oh my god, is he even conscious at the end of this?

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

This one is just so sad.
You have to watch it over and over just to watch them beat the individual guys because so much kicking and punching is going on. Then they drag the driver by his arms which was clearly not necessary.
Absolutely .. and GUARANTEED the actions of these dogs will be "justified" just as murdering an unarmed honest and good family man who was an engiineer with no criminal record and who was shot in the back of the head while lying prone on the ground fully complying with a police officers orders.
"Justified" as blasting away and killing an innocent man on his wedding day in a hail of 50 rounds of gunshots .. or the countless other cases of police murder and brutality.

Is there any wonder why African-Americans do not trust the police?

The police officers say they were stressed out because a colleague of theirs was killed three days ago.
You know what happens, whenever I'm stressed out because something bad happened, and I go out and kill someone? I go to jail. Have something fucking responsibility. There's no excuse for treating random suspects this way.

I will have to watch from home tonight.... no youtube at work.
Quote from Cypress:
"Scientists don't use "averages". Maybe armchair supertools on message boards ascribe some meaning to "averages" between two random data points. And maybe clueless amatuers "draw a straight line" through two random end data points to define a "trend". Experts don't.
They use mean annual and five year means in trend analysis. Don't tell me I have to explain the difference to you. "
Why cops have so much autonomy and authority in there jobs is beyond me. I suppose that NONE of those cop cars had there cameras running?
its like the peoples republic of America as of late in this country.
Q: Senator Obama, would you take the same pledge? No tax increases on people under $250,000?
OBAMA: I not only have pledged not to raise their taxes, I've been the first candidate in this race to specifically say I would cut their taxes.

I usually just pull them over and beat them up while being videotaped.

This was totally effed up. I just saw this video today.
And I know this is a shocker, but the Fox News anchor that was interviewing the mother and father of one of the kids, was making excuses for the cops. He had the effing gall to ask the Mom, "you know, if your son hadn't run from the cops he wouldn't have got his ass kicked".
What kind of Fox-ified effed up question is that to ask one of the Moms?
For real.
Gee, I can't imagine why there is ambient resentment in the african american community about the misuse of government power against people of color. Why, the Reverend Wright sounds like a lunatic! (sarcasm alert).
The notion that they "ran from the police" is bullshit.
If you see the video prior to the stop, you'll see that they pulled over as soon as the lights on the pig car came on.
By the time this gets to court the police will be claiming that the occupants of the car were firing Uzis from the car as they were pulled over.
What the police and criminal injustice system does to blacks is blatantly racist .. but it's going to take more than just black people to end this on-going terrorism.
The hard truth is that we are going to have to react violently before any real substanative attention is paid.
