87. Remember when Dorner released a statement admitting he killed people?

Remember how there was a rush of people cautioning "Due process! Due process! Don't rush to judge!"

Apparently we're a nation of men, not laws; as this thread and your interlocutors so grotesquely display.

LAPD are domestic terrorists. [View all] Fire Walk With Me Feb 2013 OP

It looks like another lame cop-hating thread to me slackmaster Feb 2013 #1

I will personally escort you to Skid Row to say that to this man, who was beaten by Fire Walk With Me Feb 2013 #3

The video is lacking in context. What happened for the several minutes before it starts? slackmaster Feb 2013 #6

Again: I've done copwatch on Skid Row, as have those who posted the video. Have you? Fire Walk With Me Feb 2013 #10

I don't know who you are. I don't know the people who made the video. slackmaster Feb 2013 #14

I know the people who recorded the video. LAPD do things like that on a whim Fire Walk With Me Feb 2013 #17

What is the date the video was taken? What's the name of the man who was beaten? What... slackmaster Feb 2013 #20

Dictionary flaming? Nice. If 16 cops beating a single black homeless man doesn't give you pause Fire Walk With Me Feb 2013 #25

You can't answer any of my questions. slackmaster Feb 2013 #53

You wouldn't even watch the video. You don't deserve even this reply. You want answers, Fire Walk With Me Feb 2013 #59

You asked "What then does this look like to you?" and I gave you an initial impression slackmaster Feb 2013 #62

I'm sure they'd LOVE to hear from you. Fire Walk With Me Feb 2013 #73

ROFL's? Are you aware that the only thing accomplished here was to undermine your own OP? cleanhippie Feb 2013 #81

Please read my reply to his first post. That poster has zero credibility in this thread. n/t Fire Walk With Me Feb 2013 #83

Great. So what. This is not about his credibility, it's about the credibility of that video. cleanhippie Feb 2013 #86

It is from the LA Community Action Network, or LA CAN. Right-click to back-link to their youtube Fire Walk With Me Feb 2013 #89

Again, you respond with obfuscation to the questions being asked, seemingly because they cannot be cleanhippie Feb 2013 #94

If you'd just spent the time you've used on that post in contacting LA CAN to ask the questions you Fire Walk With Me Feb 2013 #103

Thank you for showing all reading this thread that you care little about context and reality... cleanhippie Feb 2013 #110

My agenda is to present a clear depiction of police brutality. If you cannot get that from what is Fire Walk With Me Feb 2013 #120

Then you have FAILED to "present a clear depiction of police brutality." cleanhippie Feb 2013 #122

If you want to get your LAPD brutality porn, here are links to my current GD threads: Fire Walk With Me Feb 2013 #126

Ok, thanks. cleanhippie Feb 2013 #127

As it turns out, the video has been on the Web for nearly seven years. slackmaster Feb 2013 #98

I am sure that NOTHING like that goes on today... Bennyboy Feb 2013 #118

I'e seen it too. In Denver donheld Feb 2013 #151

You made the comment before even WATCHING the video. EOTE Feb 2013 #28

The first 10 seconds were enough to make it obvious that it doesn't support the OP's narrative slackmaster Feb 2013 #51

You didn't watch a damned thing before making your comment. EOTE Feb 2013 #57

So what? This is an open discussion. The OP solicited opinions, and I gave my initial reaction. slackmaster Feb 2013 #60

You gave your initial reaction before watching the video. EOTE Feb 2013 #64

Bullshit slackmaster Feb 2013 #65

You already admitted to it. You're not fooling anyone. EOTE Feb 2013 #66

I solicited opinions, but opinions based upon actually having watched the video. Fire Walk With Me Feb 2013 #71

I wacthed the entire thing. cleanhippie Feb 2013 #88

I wasn't replying to you, I was replying to the resident police apologist who DIDN'T watch the video EOTE Feb 2013 #99

Do you know when this was taken? cleanhippie Feb 2013 #101

About 5 years ago. NT EOTE Feb 2013 #102

And do you know wher one might find the beginning of the video that we do not get to see? cleanhippie Feb 2013 #107

If I did, I would have told you already. EOTE Feb 2013 #111

I've looked too, with no luck. I remain skeptical about the claims made by the OP. cleanhippie Feb 2013 #114

The context is that members of the LAPD are beating the shit out of someone who is not resisting EOTE Feb 2013 #116

"cleanippie" is here to shout us down for some unimaginable reason. Don't respond to it. I'm done. Fire Walk With Me Feb 2013 #121

Yeah. Confuses me as well. n/t Fire Walk With Me Feb 2013 #125

What does sthat have to do with the fact that this video lacks ANY context at all. cleanhippie Feb 2013 #80

Why is it so very difficult for people to understand that 16 cops putting a defenseless homeless man Fire Walk With Me Feb 2013 #92

HOW DOES THE VIEWER KNOW THIS IS A DEFENSLESS HOMELESS MAN? cleanhippie Feb 2013 #96

Good Lord. YES, the video is from 2008. I thought I'd included that in the OP along with the Fire Walk With Me Feb 2013 #117

YOU POSTED THIS! WHY DO I NEED TO ASK SOMEONE ELSE ABOUT WHAT YOU POSTED? cleanhippie Feb 2013 #119

Because they can answer all of your questions, better than I could? Fire Walk With Me Feb 2013 #128

You seem unable to answer ANY questions about the video. cleanhippie Feb 2013 #129

Please see reply #6 slackmaster Feb 2013 #9

Please study the history of LAPD. nadinbrzezinski Feb 2013 #11

Given your occupation, I'm a bit surprised at your lack of curiosity about this incident. slackmaster Feb 2013 #22

I ask them nadinbrzezinski Feb 2013 #26

I'm aware of the LAPD's history. The OP has not presented a convincing case that this incident... slackmaster Feb 2013 #58

Remember when Dorner released a statement admitting he killed people? Nuclear Unicorn Feb 2013 #87

It's been almost seven years since the video in the OP was uploaded to YouTube slackmaster Feb 2013 #95

I'm guessing it did not resolve in the OPs favor otherwise we would have heard about it Nuclear Unicorn Feb 2013 #100

Yet you refused to watch it. nadinbrzezinski Feb 2013 #143

No, I've watched it all the way through twice slackmaster Feb 2013 #144

Bullshit. looks like cops beat a man for sunflower seeds. ret5hd Feb 2013 #8

They replied without having even watched a minute of the video, much less the end. Check the time Fire Walk With Me Feb 2013 #12

Two things you'll never get from Slackmaster Tempest Feb 2013 #34

Ah. Thank you. Fire Walk With Me Feb 2013 #35

I don't see any sunflower seeds in the video slackmaster Feb 2013 #13

Cops swarming and beating a man who is simply trying to be left alone is not obvious? Fire Walk With Me Feb 2013 #16

The cops are already on the guy at the start of the video slackmaster Feb 2013 #21

He was black and homeless. If you do not know that in itself is enough, you are not paying attention Fire Walk With Me Feb 2013 #23

Really? How can you possibly get that from the video? cleanhippie Feb 2013 #90

Seriously, why can't more DUers be completely apathetic to police brutality like you are? EOTE Feb 2013 #24

Did you note that they did not even watch the video before their initial reply? Check the post times Fire Walk With Me Feb 2013 #27

I don't have a right mouse button, but that's beside the point. slackmaster Feb 2013 #113

I've updated the OP to include the date of the video as well as the source. Fire Walk With Me Feb 2013 #124

Regardless of the date, it is certainly related to Beck's calling Dorner a "domestic terrorist." AnotherMcIntosh Feb 2013 #134
