well if this isn't out of line...

[Mike70]

Just like with all of these police brutality videos, there could be more to the story.....BUT....right now it seems like this guy's cheese slid off his cracker... yeah, this guys seems to be a few fries short of a happy meal. he might be missing the toy too.

Dudes, this cop was way, way out of line, and needs to be pulled off the force in the interest of public safety.

whats the betting the cop gets away with it...

I'd imagine that this little 15-year old pinhead wasn't on her way to an ice cream social when she was picked up for joy riding in a "borrowed" car. Perhaps she was just following the 31 year-old pinhead police officer's lead seeing as he was previously busted for DUI (mixing alcohol while on prescription meds). Is a "deferred sentence" with probation typically handed out to all DUI criminals in Seattle, or only to their criminal police officers? It should certainly be listed as a perk on their next recruiting billboard.

whats the betting the cop gets away with it... Yeah, it would be typical, but still not fair. Nothing short of terminating the officer would be fair, and I think it should go as far as criminal charges against this knucklehead. Just think, this idiot has a license to carry a concealed weapon when out of uniform, but you can't!

Just think, this idiot has a license to carry a concealed weapon when out of uniform, but you can't! Techincally....I believe anyone without a recorded felony can get a concealed weapons permit. I could be wrong about what makes you eligible for one, but I know a few citizens that have the permit.

Techincally....I believe anyone without a recorded felony can get a concealed weapons permit. I could be wrong about what makes you eligible for one, but I know a few citizens that have the permit. From a technical standpoint, you are correct, but some jurisdictions are notorious for refusing to issue CCW. In Los Angeles where I live, for example, it is nearly impossible to get a permit to carry, even if you have a spotless record and have a justifiable reason to carry. But I have heard that there are other states where it is rather easy to get a CCW provided your record is clean. Certainly, the Los Angeles Police Department would prefer that no one gets a CCW, since they are able to carry off duty and not having everyone else likewise being able to pack gives them an advantage.

This dude should look up the definition of 'excessive'.

[DubiousComforts]

This dude should look up the definition of 'excessive'. Probably learned everything he knows from these asshats: State Torture of Hope Steffey And speaking of carrying concealed weapons: since self-defense and protecting one's family from home invasion, rape, assault, etc. are the reasons commonly cited by gun proponents, would one be justified in shooting these thugs posing as officers of the law before they're able to take you or your loved one away? Ted Nugent, for example, calls for "justice" at the scene of the crime: "Get a gun, learn to use it and do the right thing. Bad guys should be shot dead, not Christmas shoppers." Is there any doubt that we're looking at the "bad guys" in these video clips?

I'm sorry, but it's really hard not to disagree with everything Ted fucking Nugent says. Ted motherfucking Nugent...

Oh, well. It's not the last beating she'll ever take. She'll get over this one. ...there's a little dose of compassion.

[strayrider]

Oh, well. It's not the last beating she'll ever take. She'll get over this one. ...there's a little dose of compassion. I didn't see a "beating" taking place in the video, just some rough treatment. A couple of shots to the melon does not a beating make (that is if those punches landed at all). But, you're right. She has a lifetime of "beatings" ahead of her. From boyfriends, half-a-dozen future ex-husbands, maybe a from a son, or two when she's a 30-year-old single "mom" and living on welfare. The possibilities are endless ... Incidentally, does anyone know where Khardis lives? Is he possibly a member of the Seattle PD? -stray-

[clanglee]

Really messed up that, but what I want to know is. . did she get her sister's license back?

[strayrider]

Really messed up that, but what I want to know is. . did she get her sister's license back? Who? Hope "Psycho" Steffy, or the unnamed 15-year-old pinhead? -stray-
