Thread: Western Propaganda aka клюква lol

That's because the motto of the US is "they eat each other" (c). And nowdays it needs an addition: "just for fun".

Some hot news, as I like:
Calif. police shoot, kill 13-year-old with fake rifle - CBS News

California sheriff's officials and family members say deputies shot and killed a 13-year-old boy who was carrying a replica assault weapon.

Two Sonoma County deputies saw the boy walking with the replica weapon at about 3 p.m. local time Tuesday in Santa Rosa. Lt. Dennis O'Leary says they repeatedly ordered him to drop what appeared to be a rifle before firing several rounds.

The boy fell to the ground. Deputies handcuffed him and began administering first aid, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

"...handcuffed him and began administering first aid..." - they handcuffed a half dead boy? That's merely amazing. The Gestapo is alive. I'm not that young to be astonished with all such things, but news from the US surprise me all the time.

I wish I could say such stories surprised me... but they do not, anymore.

There was a time, when I was very young, when I respected police officers. We had a TV-show back then called Adam-12, and if you watch this short clip, it can give you an idea of what cops used to be like. They were much more community-oriented back then. In Los Angeles, where Adam-12 was filmed, their motto was "to protect and to serve."



Some of it may have been propaganda, certainly. I grew up in Los Angeles and not all of the police were as kind as the two guys in this show. BUT... compared to today's paramilitary police who shoot first before asking questions, who don't even bother to read people their Miranda rights anymore... it's like a lost dream.

And I wish this militarization was only an American problem, but whenever I turn on the news I see the same crap all around the world with cops. They look and act like gestapo and they stomp all over people who peacefully protest.

You forget to mention that just a few days ago, another 12 y.o. kid committed a shooting with a real gun at school and killed several people (I don't remember what state that was in); I think though, the cops shouldn't have fired at that fake gun owner, tasers would've been more than enough. Even if that was a real rifle, illegal possession of a gun and disobedience are not punished by capital sentence.

Speaking of over-zealous cops...

According to this article and others, the cop who assaulted several Occupy Wall Street protesters at a university in California was awarded $38,000 for HIS "pain and suffering." Apparently all the negative publicity he got from spraying people in the face with burning hot pepper spray while they were sitting down was just too much for him to handle.
