They seized his dangling Chad...

This guy should sue for a lot of money...

Just a few bad apples, huh?

Civil suits only cost the tax payers. This cops need to be locked up for life. The judge needs to be disbarred as well for simply taking the word of corrupt cops. Until judges are also held accountable they'll continue to issue warrants like candy.

I generally support law enforcement.

However, one way to make the system better is to dismantle all unions. All employers must be able to fire any employee at will and on the spot without repercussion. This is how private businesses ensure quality of their services. There shall be no exception in the public sector.

A second stun grenade soon followed.

"I turned away, the explosion went off, I opened my eyes the lights are out and here comes a shield with four or five guys behind it. They pinned me against the wall and proceeded to beat the crap out of me," said Chadwick.

That's when officers shot the unarmed Chadwick in the back of the head with a Taser at point blank range."

Well thank god no black kids were harmed in the making of that arrest.

This is the problem.
Out of control cops are difficult to prosecute criminally because of the legal idea of “objectively reasonable” use of force.
Under the doctrine of Qualified Immunity cops and prosecutors are rarely called to account civilly.
So the beleaguered taxpayer is made to pay for the carnage.

These cops and the judge should be ordered to do community service on the Mexican border...until they repay the person they harmed in millions.

Bullony! Cops are fired all the time. Unions built the middle class and fought for and won all of the benefits that people enjoyed until just a few years ago when unions began to decline. The US needs more unions in the private sector. The decline of unions in the private sector since the 1980s exactly correlates with the decline in American's living standards and the massive increase in the wealth gap. Now it takes two incomes to barely scrap by. Now we have much lower wages, no job security, lousy hours and travel, and the we're more than half way to the corporate goal of no vacations, no health insurance, and worst of all NO PENSIONS. With no union, about all you can do is kiss your employer's ass and hope for the best. Without unions employees must face these massive corporations alone, and will always lose. Keep kissing for lower wages.

Cops and the military are basically corporate muscle.

Yes, and good thing nobody injected race into the discussion here!

Could be.

Point that out to the Nazi trash here who always complain when race is mentioned, dumbshit.

The decline in living standard correlates with our impossibly inflated expectations. Over the course of human history, wealth has been concentrated. The past few decades of "growth" was a mirage. We are now merely reverting to the norm.

Unions are enemies of the market. They are already losing. First, jobs have been steadily flowing to places with more reasonable labor pools like China. Slowly, human workers will be replaced by robots and artificial intelligence.

Labor movements in developed world are nothing but people holding on to their winnings of a birth lottery. With an increasingly global and connected world, they will fail.

Job security is overrated. Anyone who expects to get more doing the same thing deserves to have nothing.

One should not get paid simply because he has worked has whole life. He should have been amassing a portfolio of passive investment. And he better had gambled right.

Like a jack ass who just can't get enough of The State and their privileged gang of unaccountable domestic terrorists

The two-income trap?

The solution is to privatize all schools, with or without vouchers.

Too many people are over-educated. And those who truly want more education are faced with high tuition. I propose ending free education after Grade 6 and use the resource to subsidize higher education.

And that still should not be a sure thing

The entire portfolio should always be at risk of total loss. Or capitalism has no meaning

Hence "he better had gambled right." ;-)

Life is stochastic. Thus to live is to gamble.

The pain and suffering in modern age is caused by us doing Nature's job of reward and punishment. We craved certainty when there could be none.

Sure keep the people as dumb as oxen and work them until they drop, then when their too old kick them over the cliff. Your world is hell.

Education does not make people smarter. It only makes them feel more entitled.

The wises quote of the month.

Thanks! I hope to publish a book of my aphorisms. :-)

I disagree. The brain, although not a muscle, acts like a muscle in one way. The more you use it, the stronger it gets.

Now, I'll agree that a degree and an education have nothing to do with each other, but using one's brain does make one smarter.

It takes intellectual curiosity and the will to satisfy that curiosity. Education is just a tool in the process.

Much like weights are a tool in the process of building muscles.

To be clear, I'm distinguishing education from schooling, which also have nothing in common.

You can be your own weight. There are pull-up bars. :-)
