Insane Thug Cops Attack Emergency Paramedic
Insane Thug Cops Attack Emergency Paramedic One more reason that the security cameras don't seem secure. If they have control of the cameras, who's ever going to see the evidence.The whole camera system is rigged for the cops and not the citizens. It's obviously not for our protection but for our control. This article presents us with "Why are the police acting like this nowadays?", or "Have they always acted like this but were shielded from the eyes of the general public?". Either way, it's not security cameras footage popping up on the internet, but people's private video footage.The only way to expose them is to always carry a camera when dealing with them.

Good one. Same article/video: http://carlosmiller.com/ . Another good resource is: http://www.photographyisntacrime.com/
ReplyDelete"Few bad apples" is--I'm sure--the maintain-the-status-quo type of response we would get if we actually achieved any public-forum on this type of public harassment. From working in the security industry and numerous people I know in the military--these Zimbardo-types* are PREDOMINANT in positions of authority--NOT the exception.
ReplyDelete* Zimbardo see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zimbardo_experiment
I don't think Zimbardo himself was 'authoritarian' -- I think he set out in his experiment to test whether humans have a predisposition towards authoritarianism. Likewise Stanley Milgram and his Experiment: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment
ReplyDeleteBoth experiments certainly had results which lend themselves to pessimism, should one be inclined to think that blind obedience to Authority is rarely, if ever, a good thing...
Police have always acted this way. The Public rarely had a chance to see it, though, before photo and video technology became so accessible and portable.
Oh, I totally agree. My clumsy "Zimbardo-types" expression was my attempt to refer to the mindset that will set-in when enough of the CONDITIONS that Zimbardo created are present. Poorly worded, sorry.
