The fact that the police officer has not been held accountable for his actions.?
(yeah he was "held accountable", he got fired remember? What would you call that a slap on the wrist? I would rather keep my job and take the charge if I had the choice?:wtf: He lost his job, I wouldn't say that is not being held accountable. If you do woop someones ass at work, you are held accountable, I have fired someone over a physical fight, guess what, the employee that I fired didn't go to jail either. He just lost his job, as meaningless as that is I guess.:wtf:

No shit, he is a cop? There is a difference between the way things ARE and the way you WISHED they were.

The o'so'scary photo could easily be from her falling and breaking her nose, have you ever broken yours or broken someone else's nose? 2 severe bulging puffy black eyes is not uncommon. In addition the cop obviously had to use force, SHE WAS COMBATIVE AND UNCOOPERATIVE YOU CAN SEE THAT IN THE VIDEO!!:wtf: Since none of us were there, we don't know, but yeah I guess I will take the word of a drunk that was driving around, got involved in an accident, then left the scene, DRUNK, then resisted the police, and was uncooperative and refused a breathalizer. Nothing is stopping her from filing charges, and I suspect she hasn't because the cop didn't actually pound her face in, and I will take a cops word everyday over the word of a worthless white trash drunk that was driving around endangering the lives of everyone else that might have been out that evening.

There ARE ACTUAL police states, so if you want to make the ridiculous argument that we live in one then just start a thread in the conspiracy area or something, Compare and contrast America with real police states.:thumbsup: Supporting that premise with a video of a drunk being drunk and getting fucked up just for the shock and emotional reaction is worthless. All it says is that you need to make people have a viscerol gut reaction to a shocking image that you are going to equivicate with your "we live in a police state" claim. You are entitled to your opinion, but so is everyone that doesn't agree with you.

Of course the second reason is so that pot heads can talk shit on cops on an internet forum and feel like "REAL TOUGH GUYS". PUKE
"After all I smoke weed, we live in a police state, I hate cops, Bush gave me hemroids, the man is holding me down, blah blah blah. O I forgot all the evil corporations, war for oil, and Bush causes sleep apnea too.

Sounds like the kind of image that we want to promote as responsible cannabis consumers!:thumbsup: I used to feel the same way about cops though, when I was 14.:jointsmile:

Norkali, I really don't have anything against you, but I do have an opinion, so I am sorry in advance that it offends you.
