How about this for an idea....Try not to get arrested. Sounds pretty simple to most people. I'm sure you can do it.

It amazes me how many defend the cops, when there are literally thousands of videos where cops abuse citizens. There's a video of cops smashing-in a pastor's car window, dragging him our of the car, and beating him. His crime? Refused to consent to a warrantless search. (He eventually won the court case.)

Yesterday a SWAT team busted into a house and killed a man plus 4 year old kid plus the pet dog. Then they realized they had the wrong house. Ooops.

At airports cops either Xray you with skin-damaging machines, or the fondle your boobs and penis. NOW they are setting up those checkpoints along Tennessee interstates. Pretty soon you won't even be able to drive to work w/o getting stopped and Xrayed (or sex molested).

There's video of a cop shooting a teargas grandade directly at a protester's head (his skull was bashed-in and is now brain-damaged). The cops are also the ones ultimately responsible for rounding-up and jailing japanese-Americans in direct violation of the Bill of Rights.

Given that history.....

I'm inclined to think the cameraman did nothing wrong. I'm inclined to blame that cops who are more deadly to U.S. citizens than terrorists.

Yes, my friend, it is neofascism and the US police is the neoGestap, as a lady said in New York after police made brutal arrests. They are not our police, they are Wall Street's police. We can only pray honest policement will massively refuse to follow orders to be brutal with peaceful citizens and not just say like nazis "we only followed orders".

There could have been people right behind you threatening the police with rocks, sticks, guns, who knows. We can't tell anything from this video as to what was happening behind you.

If someone was pointing a stick at the cops behind or near you, then YOU TOTALLY DESERVED TO BE SHOT with a rubber bullet.

Go get a J-O-B and you won't get shot by the cops.....most likely :)
