(4 posts)You don't have to "teach" cops to be like that. They've wanted to be cops ever since they were schoolyard bullies, and if they couldn't be cops, they'd be collecting "protection" payments for the mafia.
It's why our people called them "pigs" a lifetime ago, when people had pubic hair.
It may be genetic or it may be fucked-up parents or it may be the lead paint chips they ate; but that doesn't really matter. Everything that happens has an antecedent; so what? What matters is what the cops DO, not what's going on in their diminutive brains while they hit people with wooden clubs, gleefully, excessively, and repeatedly.
Trying to "figure them out" is only meaningful if it lets us predict their actions. But that's not really very hard. They're not a complex system to model, they're COPS. Bad ones. Stupid, angry, violent ones.
That's all we need to know about them because there isn't really anything else to know that matters. I'm not dehumanizing them; they dehumanized themselves when they used that nightstick on a peaceful people.
All you need to know about a rabies dog is that it has rabies. Its breed and name and pedigree and coat don't matter. The plumage don't enter into it.
Similarly, all that matters for US is what WE do. That's the only thing that has any effect. Yes, we need to plan, and this forum is good. But I see too much talk and not enough action. Occupy wall street took over, the whole world really WAS watching... and then they didn't DO anything. They just sat there for weeks, eating pizza, smoking dope, doing webcasts, and holding their dicks--but not making any demands.
Just like Obama in his first months, we had the evil motherfuckers by the balls. A fortuitous confluence of circumstance gave us control of everything, but we failed to DO anything. Jupiter's moons were lined up for a moment, but we didn't enter the stargate. And when the moment passed, we (and he) lost that control and now the re: pig lickin' party runs the show again. All we can do is gawk 'n squawk on this forum.
DO or do NOT. There IS no "why".

Autistic savant astrophysics chick who got so disgusted by the 1% that she moved into a cave in the woods, 3 years ago, hacked into the pwr grid for A/C & wireless net, and reads hyperbolic geometry naked by festive, colored christmas-tree lights. Here: nude pix of a reeeeally smart girl because I like being deliciously humiliated and embarrassed. Fuck Steinem. Paglia was right.
So was Magneto.
