Pfft.  Amateurs.

PROTIP:  When you get pissed off enough at a drunk suspect to beat her, you turn the camera off.  Like this:

(Yeah, this one's a little graphic too, but it wasn't too much for the local news, so I'm going with it.)

Canadian cops are so cute when they try to act like real American cops.

Please review the Milgram Experiment and the Stanford Prison Experiment.

What's happened at your local airport since the $9/hr dropouts at your local airport got hired by the government ("to professionalize, you must federalize") and issued white uniforms with fabric badges... and what's happened since they decided they still weren't getting enough "respect" as "federalized professionals", and so they demanded - and received - blue uniforms with shiny metal badges.  Well, who could have seen that coming?  Move along, Citizen.  Do you want to fly today?  Or would you prefer *snaps on a rubber glove* something else?

In Boston that's called Tuesday.

I remember "To Serve And Protect".  I've been lucky enough in my limited encounters with law enforcement not to experience Kick Your Ass And Get Away With It.

(Hey, I'd seen that one before, but I hadn't seen it in an art exhibition yet!)

The sad thing is that despite the fact that in all of those encounters, the cops were polite, professional, and justice (that is, when it was a case of mistaken identity, no harm was done; when it was a case where either I or a third party needed assistance, assistance was rendered; and in the situations in which I was in the wrong, the punishment was proportionate to the offense)... I now think of myself as lucky.

Anyway, I got away with tap-dancing on the land-mine of the TSA's new dick-measuring fetish all week, so why push it?  Back to my free speech zone before I have an accident!
