Heh I am just busting your balls. I was surprised to see so many russian emoticons when I first posted here. They must have come from some russian soccer forum.I never understood that smilie. It was part of a new batch a while back and I forget it's there. But the dude in the beanie seemed appropriate.

As much as it pains me to copy/paste a link from GQ, guy makes sense. Why are the pissed off fauquers in St Louis considered rioters while the clowns in Nevada were Patriots™?

I believe $tinkle has your answer.
^^ Uhmm, because unarmed, peaceful protesters are godless, socialist, commies who hate their freedom. Only those who are heavily armed and backed by Jesus are real patriots.
police intimidation 101
I have been out of the loop for a while and not really sure what is causing all the problems in Fergusen. Assuming that people are pissed that they live in Missouri. To call Missouri an armpit would require an anatomy that had the armpit surrounded by 6 assholes and a festering cunt.
So..... what am I supposed to be watching here? Looks like a cop catching cars that aren't obeying the law by stopping for pedestrians in a marked crosswalk.
Pretty sure every state has a law like that, and as a pedestrian trying to cross it's a fvcking pain in the ass when nobody will stop.
its a cop walking back and forth entrapping people
When it comes to cars and trucks blowing thru a pedestrian crossing while someones halfway across, I have no problem with the cops hammering the drivers.
as someone who spends all day walking and crossing streets, i agree. what i dont agree with is seeing a cop just walk out into the street as cars are driving by then having his buddy pull them over.
I don't see a difference between an out of uniform officer and myself trying to cross the street except I don't have the authority to ticket the jackass who didn't stop for me being in the crosswalk.
One thing that I loved in Germany was crossing the street. If you were in a crosswalk, everyone stopped, no matter what. But if you weren't, you would hear the driver speed up and they might even swerve to hit you.
Crosswalk = safe
J walk = open season
Seems legit to me.

It's Somerville, nothing but hipsters to mow down.
Like the world will miss a couple dozen baristas, even if they're white.
Plus, MA law is stop for pedestrians currently in crosswalk (if crosswalk has no pedestrian walk signal) and states that your vehicle can't be closer than 6ft to the person. It's not like a school bus where everyone stops from curb to curb.
It does not give pedestrians the right to just walk into street and expect 5000# cars to stop on a dime.
Complete $ grab by cops.

By law you have to stop for a pedestrian in a crosswalk (including if they're waiting at the curb). Every car that passed the cop was breaking the law, and I'd have preferred that they ALL got tickets instead of just the occasional one here and there.
I've stood at a crosswalk and watched 100+ cars go by without a single one stopping. That's just wrong. The only stipulation here in WI is that you can't unexpectedly dart into the intersection and then blame the vehicle. But the cars in question above had PLENTY of time to see that there was someone trying to cross the intersection and should have stopped. Period.
The problem with stopping for pedestrians trying to cross is that there is a lot to pay attention to on the road, and this requires paying attention to the sidewalks. Someone standing at an intersection may be trying to cross, may be texting, turning a trick or just trying to hold in a shart. Crosswalks need a kind of batters box for pedestrians to stand in to display intent.
Yeah, as my preferred mode of transportation went from driving to walking/cycling, my tolerance of motorists breaking the law has gone WAY down. Whether it's speeding on residential streets, not stopping for pedestrians in a crosswalk, passing too closely to a cyclist, etc, I get *pissed* by all the drivers basically breaking the law multiple times on a daily basis.
The fact that they then turn around and whine about cyclists not obeying the law only fuels the anger....
So watching a cop (finally) targeting all of the assholes that don't bother stopping for a pedestrian in a marked crosswalk is actually pretty enjoyable to me. Entrapment? Nah, if you're dumb enough to almost hit a cop who's legally in a crosswalk and has the right of way, you deserve the ticket.

officer go fvck yourself. seems legit
that cop has already been doxed
yup. but since he saved someone's life last year and because its "so hot out there", police supporters think we should just brush it off
edit: just heard that hes been suspended indefinitely. wow, police policing themselves...who whoulda thought. what are the odds thats hes still getting paid while suspended?

"The incident was investigated and the officer has since returned to duty."
Idiots like those in uniform in Ferguson are the reason I gave up on civilian law enforcement...low/no hiring standards, low to no budget for community policing, hiring profiles regarding racial ratios that are all fvcked up, outsized egos behind the badges and just blatant stupidity all over the place. Where is Manimal while Ferguson burns?
keeping brown people in mexico
There is a lesson in here somewhere.

about time those damn socialists started doing things The American Way™
how about the isis way?
Bleeding into another thread [-1 for bad pun], but its my understanding there's very little potential the average UK hooligan is armed with anything other than a worn pair of Doc Martins and bad teeth. Regardless, it is credit to their law enforcement policies.
