    CW: some pretty extreme police violence (also I can't fucking believe this video is 9 years old. Fuck all has changed.)

      I actually briefly met one of the guys in this compilation (before it happened). Was a big deal locally kinda. Problem was dude didn't make a very ideal victim because he's literally the scum of the earth (and not like, "he's no angel" type shit you usually see (and he's white anyway), I wont get into details because it would require a CW but he's garbage just trust me) so a lot of people I knew couldn't see the systemic problems involved and only saw someone they hated getting fucked up. I was one of the only people that I knew saying "yeah no doesn't matter that he's garbage noone should be treated that way and he wasn't under arrest for those things anyway, he was just in the drunk tank." And honestly, because of the local culture being very enabling of the things he did, most people weren't saying he deserved it because of that but because of more petty shit anyway. The people principled enough to hate him for the things he did were on my side when it came to what the pigs did lol.

        Just from the collage of brutality I just saw and your description, I'm gonna guess he was the guy standing handcuffed in a cell that some meathead pig full-force shoved backwards into the wall.

        Don't feel any pressure to confirm or deny, just thought I'd throw my guess out there.

      i still don't understand how friends and/family don't hunt them down after some shit like this and exact revenge. I don't think I could let shit like that slide if it happened to my family or my good friends. It's hard enough watching it happen to strangers.

        A lot of people believe the average intelligence person could pull off a well planned killing without getting caught (most murders are never solved anyway). I'm surprised more people don't test that theory too.

          I have a feeling that's only because the pigs don't give a fuck about most murder victims, but they'd probably pull out all the stops if one of their own got merked. Then again, as far as I know whoever killed that cop in California has gotten away with it so far, so... shrug-outta-hecks

            More likely they'll just pick a random minority and throw the key away if they survive the arrest

          Sometimes I idly speculate about what one could both create and destroy with a simple tabletop smelter
