Same coin, other side.

(68,644 posts)But over reliance on the police kind of encourages the abuse that we witness.

(2,672 posts)towards the end of the video, first guy is on top of second guy on a mat and first guy has him in a headlock, second guy is unable to move while while first guy tells him to "stop resisting". WTF? He has him immobilized and tells him to stop resisting?
Real world practicing in action.

Funny thing is the worst day these guys will have is bothering some 20 year old drug addict kid of lawyers/dentists/doctors/teachers/business owners/etc

(41,857 posts)grown up. Too many scary things.. and now the Police are like a second military. Seems like they would rather shoot someone than talk to them, especially if you are a minority.

The main thing the cops do there is bring home spoiled rich girls who are high on coke.
