F is for Fascism (Ferguson MO)

Cops lie.

Brazenly. They shoved that old man down in front of a NPR reporter with a camera rolling.

i see ur arendt and raise u an agamben

 

[CreamyGoodness]

That’s awful.

 

[Strickland33]

here for arendt obviously. hard to see the banality when they're not testifying at trial though.

You can’t imagine what’s running through the cop’s head whose gut reaction is to do something before falling back into formation?

It’ll make you happy to learn he’s working his way onto contemporary theory syllabi in my field

isn't one of the threads in EiJ that his banality is laid bare by the judicial setting?

 

[Kory]

grads or undergrads? your syllabi too?

There was a brief second where those Buffalo cops all stopped and thought, shit, we should do something. But their top notch training kicked in and you can see the two guys in the foreground turn and start talking about which protesters they should target rather than attend to the injured.

there's a curfew to enforce!

Here's another angle. Pathetic human beings.

One out of 30 actually goes to his aid while two or three's first instinct is to make sure no one can record the incident.

That brief second was a glimpse at the humanity that they’ve lost.

someone wanted to know if there was a list of all the recordings of police brutality over the last few days

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...?pru=AAABcqZ2oos*o2qQVlm6Tg0XxVxSBSuVsQ#gid=0

@greg_doucette's is already at 281 instances (over 300 recordings)

that's just during the protests

statement from the BPD

"tripped and fell"

I was curious about what language the media used:

Police say the man in this video tripped and fell, but protesters reacted as though he was pushed by police.

Seriously??

 

[WFFaithful]

WTF

We've learned that shoving old white men to the ground while the cameras roll will trigger some consequences at least.

[birdman]

What are we up to now, 19 videos of the police going too far?

Passed out at the Richmond march today
