Come on, they are just regular cops doing their job.

Cops are evil and do a lot of bad stuff. That's why there are so many police "accountability" groups, from SF's Office of Citizen Complaints to "Citizen Review" Boards, and things like the National Day of Protest to Stop Police Brutality, Repression, and the Criminalization of a Generation (every October 22nd, see october22.org)

all cops are evil? let's not categorize all cops as evil. that's like saying all left wing socialists are idiots. which may actually be true. go to hell luci.

nessie's right. Last week my neighbor's car was stolen. Rather than call the "mercenaries" we took care of our moral responsibility to protect each other. We tracked down his car, caught the thief, and sentenced him to 10 years. He's locked in a cage in my basement right now.

Now if you'll excuse me, we're debating the fairness of castration for a local rapist. Hopefully we'll have the criminal's gender settled by dinnertime.

See, this social anarchy is a much more efficient system!

"all cops are evil?"

Well maybe there are a couple that aren't. Like maybe that cop that testified against the riders in Oakland wasn't.

It is a very rare cop that won't lie to back up another cop's lies. Even the 'best' of cops will do it. I've experienced it and seen it. Most cops are the scum of the earth.

What do you think nessie? Was he?

Keep repeating that same line nessie. It's so easy to point the finger at an inanimate "system" to stay out of trouble.

Why don't you expound for us? What system are you referring to? How should we battle this system? Should we go out and kill cops (or their masters)? Or should we just vigilantly rant about the enemy-system on the internet every day of the week until it all magically goes away.

Smile for the cameras, nessie, and go on record. How do we beat the system?
by Eric
It is all systems that you are against, eh? Hierarchy is the very essence of the word "system".

Step 1: Recognize hierarchy is the enemy.

Step 2: Do as you're told.

"Don’t acquiesce. Don’t take orders. Don’t give orders. Don’t exploit others. Don’t allow yourself to be exploited.Teach. Share. Cooperate. Learn from history. Never forget. Never give in. Never give up."
by Angela Parsons
>systems = hierarchy

Ever read anything on chaos theory? Duh!
