A little wound up, I'd say.

Cop looked to be arresting half the town on his own.

Has there been a thread about this already? I only heard about it from an RA at governor's school and only since I'm on break now have I seen the video. They try to keep us focused on our studies up there, so no TVs or personal computers, and while it keeps people from watching Pimp My Ride or anything like that, it also has made me miss a violent three weeks in Arkansas (cop shoots 12 year old in West Memphis, cop goes nuts on skateboarders in Hot Springs, crazy guy in El Dorado shoots nine year old, etc.)

You're at a boarding school? And a fascist one at that? Wow.

**snoopy369** · June 30, 2007, 19:58

wow, fascist indeed if they don't let you have PCs... not a big fan of boarding school, but for some it's a much better option than local schools (like my GF's options back then)

What do you do your work on? Clay tablets?

You know about this cool invention... it's light, white, easy to write on, and you can make a bunch of it from one tree? It's all the rage...

You know about this cool literary device?

hy·per·bo·le
–noun Rhetoric.
1. obvious and intentional exaggeration.
2. an extravagant statement or figure of speech not intended to be taken literally, as “to wait an eternity.”

That doesn't mean I can't extend your joke into a better one

People are going crazy about that. He may have been a tad excessive in the amount of force used, but he didn't violate the Use Of Force Continuum as I understand it. They were breaking the law and knowingly at that. On top of it, they were resisting arrest. I don't think any great loss of liberty has been had here. Yeah he's being a dick, but they are being uncooperative.

There's always that stupid "skateboarding is not a crime" argument. Sure it isn't, if you do it in the right places. Some businesses don't want to have to deal with the damage that skateboarding can cause to their buildings over time. I have nothing against skateboarding or skateboarders, do understand the laws regarding it.

If you want a headache check this guy out. He like a budding Michael Moore from the Vlog-o-sphere, except with worse fact checking, pretense, etc.
