2. These are brilliant, and making the mainstream press, no less.
They are now on the Washington Post website, too.

May he rot in hell.

7. It is so damning because the casual, even languid body
language he carries so fully denies the lie that they cops felt threatened and trapped. They obviously felt like savoring the brutality with a nonchalant disregard for the law and common decency.

11. Yep, his body language was "cartoonish badass", I hope he
chokes on becomming a nationwide joke.

21. That's what I relish about his picture...
...being used in this way.

He is being mocked. He is a national joke.

As you mentioned, his body language is SNL fodder--Mr. Big Stuff with his pepper spray. He
seems like a complete and total buffoon. His actions, inserted into all of these pictures
just bring out what a thug fool he is.

He looks ridiculous. And he is.

18. Before he started spraying, he held his cannister up in a theatrical
gesture, an obvious display of how cool he thought he was.

Those are some good slides of a bad human, #14 of 40 is excellent, it's a short video clip.

Thanks for the thread, sufrommich.

Edited on Mon Nov-21-11 02:14 PM by drm604
if they face the possibility of this kind of public shaming.

19. I hope his family is proud of his felony conviction
and his prison sentence, but I'm not holding my breath. Here on out any uniform he wears on the job should come with a paper hat.
