Brave Cops kill father of 2 for not wearing a seatbelt

[Dripping Rain]

At a DUI checkpoint they kill a man who wasnt even driving. They allege he was not wearing a seatbelt and was trying to put out a joint.
This is a f*ed up system
YouTube - POLICE BRUTALITY - Gestapo Cops Beat Man To Death @ DUI Checkpoint (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-KuHbXxuBM)

The DA guy says they were just doing their job. No misconduct.
Is the lifeof a man really so cheap?

I hate to resort to Godwins Law, but god dam, I can't help but think that this is something fucking nazi's would do.

Very sad. :(

This is what happens when the state gets to arbitrate the conflicts it provokes / is involved in.

If you killed someone (accidentally or say in the throws of passion), and
a) got to be the judge of your own trial
b) were beyond reproach thanks to a deeply entrenched double standard of morality

you would do the same, you would get off scot free.

The cop himself didn't judge his own case, though his presentation of the event was undoubtedly taken as unblemished fact, but its nearly the same thing.

thanks for the link
but the video was uploaded on youtube yesterday and I found the video at Daily Paul. very sad indeed

[newbitech]

"there were a number of LT's on the scene, the police chief was on the scene, there were captains on the scene, nobody saw anything which caused them alarm, which made this seem to be particularly unusual, other than a struggle which took a long time to subdue."

Yeah nothing unusual going on here at all. They are just pissed that the guy struggled for his life instead of falling over dead when the captains and LT's decided it was time for him to die.

Sick.

The nazi's probably would have stolen the joint and sent the family on their merry way.

HHH is a racist social conservative who advocates using force to remove homosexuals, pagans, and other groups hated by the religious right from society. This is why I will never fully trust Lew, the LvMI and company. It dismays me when I see certain LRC columnists, whom I know are bigots from my personal correspondence with them in the past, posting articles on the C4L site today.

HHH is a racist



And that has what to do with the police murdering this guy? ( the Original Purpose of this thread)

Or do you just like random rants?

Ask the guy above me.

Just goes to show how dangerous not wearing a seat belt is. They always say people die from not wearing seat belts.

I shouldn't laugh, but that was pretty funny.

Perhaps a seperate thread with some evidence? I've been a regular reader of lewrockwell.com for quite a few years now and have never detected any racism.

Well, I was just thinking along the same lines of when they say pot ruins peoples lives. It sure does when they bust them for it.

But it's for the children.

Wait, you say he was a father of two?

Watch, medals, letters of commendations, promotions... the STATE walks on the people.

Haha, yes, you are absolutely correct on both accounts.
