the murder of kelly thomas

 the murder of kelly thomas by 6 police officers, while it does make me both sad and angry is not a surprise. what hits me in this video is how the bystanders remain bystanders. the perception of the legitimacy of the state and its agents is perhaps the most dangerous weapon they have.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ljYNgLnpxM

I can't publicly state how this makes me feel.

I couldn't really make anything out on the video other than the clicking sound of the tazer, but I'm sure the use of force wasn't justified. Notice the turds (cops) only pull this trash when there's not a large enough congregation of people around to overpower them, not that any of these sheeple would do anything. Most of the bystanders in the video looked just as fat and out of shape as the cops were, so I doubt they could really do anything even if they had the guts to do it. Hopefully we'll start to see more police brutality videos end like this one:

If that had been in the states, those cops woulda been armed and would have drawn down on the fans, shooting about 50 of them.

One more reason to leave. Symmetry of power between the mundanes and thugs.

Are they cops or security guards?
