it was the pigs invading the dude's space and causing a self-defense response.
exactly... it's an expected response from a human when you storm into his home. he's going to panic. if your job includes terrorizing citizens and forcing them into jail, you have to expect resistance...
I hate the practice in drug-user culture of calling cops "pigs"
there is a cultural divide. one section of our population wants to put the entire other section (a larger proportion...) into prison and punish them. lives are ruined. people naturally get emotional about
pigs because people they know have had their lives fucked for either legitimate or illegitimate (in terms of the law) reasons due to the pigs fucking with their private affairs
and once people are pushed down in this way, it's quite hard to get back up... it's a collective persecution, a witch hunt that we have yet to stop*
And MOST of the laws that they enforce (in the U.S. at least) are really in the best interest of the public!
we have narcotics officers dedicated to "reducing drug use"...
well, society/science has moved far beyond that sort of thinking (at least, certain portions with the information/awareness necessary). eg (one example out of millions), studies show, when we crack down hard & fast on inner city drug use, crime/prostitution/disease/violence/addiction rates
rise dramatically. it is safe to say that most of the laws that the narcotics officers endorse are not only not in the public's interest, but are literally tearing the public apart
i know they're doing their job, and they're doing what they think is right; and when they aren't, they're human and we'd make many of the same mistakes in their place. but that cultural divide
is there, and there
is a "war" on drug
users; naturally, animosity is directed right back towards the pigs
* the people in charge of these operations, when we finally end the war on drugs, will be prison themselves... if i am king %) they've completely forgotten the great American ideals like freedom. this is my fucking body, and the whole system we've set up about drugs is condescending and makes all issues related to drug addiction worse
Let's get some respect for cops in here!
there are some good cops. but overall, let's not...
fuck the police
