What the FUCK!?

No, really, what the fucking fuck!? I'm appalled. This...jesus. I don't care what you think about "kids these days," the fact is that incidents of juvenile crime are almost across the board substantially fewer. You've a better chance at throwing a stone and hitting water in the desert than you have of calling a kid a criminal and being right. Christ, FIRE THIS COP.

I'm beginning to regret giving Three Guineas such a hard time. When we read it in college, I thought Virginia Woolf was smoking something, but I look at the guy in this video and I have to wonder: if his precious manhood and badge of authority weren't undermined by his dorky outfit and even dweebier egg-mobile, would he feel the need to take out his replacement cock (that is, the other proof of his AWESOME MANLINESS aka his legal authority) and beat the kid with it? HE GRABBED THE KID BY THE THROAT AND SHOVED HIM TO THE GROUND. After repeatedly calling the kid a juvie reject. WHAT THE FUCK!?

And no, I don't agree with everyone who says he was probably just mad at his own kid, like it's an excuse.

Who the hell said it was an excuse? You know full well I don't like parents beating their kids, and I certainly don't like it when they beat other people's kids.

Still, this isn't Charles Manson, it's some idiot who freaked out and gave in to his inner Dirty Harry. I wonder why the hell he did this.

I guess I don't even want to speculate on why he did it. I don't fucking want to know why. There's no reason you could tell me that would lessen my reaction to that fucker yelling at those kids like that, and you know me. I am ALL FOR YELLING. It just really upsets me that he's someone whose responsibility is the exact opposite of what he just did, there.

More like inner Eric Cartman. Matches the outer one.

He did it because he's a cop. He's been placed in a position of enforcing behavior from others, with no negotiations and no alternatives, and he saw somebody acting outside what he thought was mainstream.

I don't mean to harp on this, but police are notorious for this sort of thing for a good reason. It's only now, in the age of ubiquitous subtle video, that we're getting solid evidence of how widespread it is, and how really unjustified it is.

Imagine if the kid were black! Then he'd likely be dead...
