Cops shoot protester with rubber bullets, then laugh about it...

The emphasis on this video was how the police, who are supposedly OUR civil SERVANTS view us. They do not view us as the people they serve, but rather as admitted in the video, as "cockroaches." I made no reference to whether the ladies or the police officers actions were justified or not. The way they spoke about the citizens is what bothered me in this video.

Godfather I hear your message on this one and agree. I think this is not an isolated incident and it has become more common across the nation with many cities becoming more like police states instead of instead of civil communities. I often wonder at what point in our society did it become illegal to peacefully protest or dissent against govt.? And I think that the officers’ attitudes reflect on how our society is becoming more totalitarian in rule with the “us against them” mentality.

I heard this and totally agree…
