    Normal people all over the world should fear the police. Evidence of their sadistic behavior all over the world is widespread. In Vancouver they went to a man's home and beat him up. He was not even a suspect for a crime.

    Why do we accept such brutality from the police force? I could post links all day about this subject but police brutality seems to be accepted.

    Police who act like this should be thrown into prison AND the general population in the prison should also be informed that this person is a police officer. With punishment like this police brutality would be alot less common.

    Are you suggesting that the Gardai commit these acts frequently?

    So just because 2 policemen half ways around the world clobbered a guy they mistakenly took for a wife beater we can now safely assume that all police everywhere are sadistic dangerous callous ruthless thugs. :rolleyes:
    I'm shaking in my boots.

    Ask the good folks in Vancouver, it's their police force not ours. They're conducting an investigation and one of the policemen is on administrative duty pending the outcome.

    Doesn't look like acceptance to me.

    Anyone who commits a crime should of course be brought to justice. I'm sure their occupation (whatever it is) will on public record during the trial. Why do you think other prisioners should be explicitly told someone was a policeman anymore than say, a security guard jailed for theft?


    There are an estimated 6.8 billon people in the world with different occupations and none. Not all are angels but that doesn't make the rest of us devils too. A liitle perpsective please.

    Enough of this kind of rubbish. Get a blog. The next time I see this kind of thoughtless thread from the OP, he'll collect himself a ban.

    moderately,
