I sure as **** wouldn't. That's why we have a legal system. Granted it's a shitty, corrupt as **** legal system. The problems you mention don't lie with the police, it's the government. They make the laws, the police just enforce. The governments of practically every country have their members from the so called "upper classes" off society. These people are rich and own a lot of land and property. Isn't it funny how if someone commits a crime against property (usually a crime committed by the "lower" classes) they get a big old jail sentence. Yet if some rich ****er decides he doesn't want to pay his taxes he might get a slap on the wrist at most.
You have to realise that what we see in these videos are the second half of the problem. We have no idea what any of those people did to the police/public before someone decides to pull there phone out because the police are hitting them. For all we know any of them could have killed a cop, a member of public, took a punch at a cop and so on. We always see the last half of what's going on and this is why people don't like police. I seriously hate the people who are all like "I hate you fuking pigs you do fuk all but assault people" then something happens to them (get's KO's, mugged, robbed at home etc) and guess what the first number they phone is? 999. If someone punched you, what would you do? Hit them back? Walk away? If someone killed a member of your family, what would you do? Hunt them down and make them pay, leave it for a 2 year jail sentence?
If you read my statement correctly, I said some of them aren't justified. Hitting someone with a batton 10 times who's already on the floor isn't justified and they are no better than someone without a badge. I wish people would read shit correctly before quoting and replying to shit I've already mentioned.
I know the justice system is ****ed. I said that. But I still think those cocky ****ers who have killed someone and smirk about it when being questioned deserve a good slap, like they could back in the 70's. How would you feel if you were sat in front of someone who had killed someone, say and old person, and you were asking them questions and they were being dicks, smirking, smiling, laughing and enjoying what they did? I bet you'd want to kick the shit out of them there and then, right? Show them they're not as tough as they think they are because you're not an old person and can fight back. Some people deserve a slap around because the justice system does fuk all to them.
Do you not ever watch police programs showing the cops side of things, or do you just watch what cops do to people. Small minded much?
