Videos CEPS Video Sharing Thread

I'm pretty sure that future generations (centuries maybe) will look at the way we now treat our animals and shudder.
 
what i don't get is, don't police over there have to account for every bullet? are there not strict audits on ammunition?
 
^ God...that fucking video. I'm not sure what's more ridiculous, Burton's comments or the topic of conversation...

Yes, but how strictly such audits are enforced is another matter entirely. Typically speaking, police departments don't like getting their own officers into trouble. In the case of the dog being shot, I'm sure that officer's superiors would deem his firearm use completely justifiable.
 
i can see how they might spin shooting a rotty, but what about that cop who shot an entire litter of kittens?
 
A very interesting and enlightening VICE documentary about the state of Afghanistan and the NATO ISAF's seemingly futile attempt stabilize the country. Lot's of pretty shocking stuff.

 
^911 calls shouldn't be answered by cops.

Are there really many situations in which calling the police will improve matters? It seems that usually, calling the cops exacerbates a situation.

(with the obvious exception of a traffic accident, in which a police officer's interpretation can avert a centuries-long saga of blood and vengeance)
 
Why don't they just let them starve themselves? I don't mean that out of hatred: it's cruel to keep a prisoner of sound mind alive if they've chosen to die.

state sanctioned control over people (schools, prisons, work places, etc) has to come with an obligation to a duty of care. that's why people in holding cells get their shoe laces taken as a matter of process, no matter who is there and for what. they can't choose to die when in custody because the choice could then be linked to treatment. remove the ability to choose to self harm, then you can treat them as poorly as you want, as long as they don't die or develop visible scars.

that's the law. some parts good, others monstrous and utterly cruel.
 


It'll mostly be used to enforce drug laws too, which just supports my suspicion that the inertia surrounding drug laws is mostly due to the desire of the law enforcement industry to remain invincible. The kid that just got tased to death on Miami Beach for tagging on an abandoned building repeatedly gets told, "You should've obeyed police!" I think it's incumbent upon us to instill an ethic of disobedience to police. Their tyranny must be resisted.
