  2. I think they're getting frightened. Really frightened. That makes it dangerous.

  3. I don't think the fat policeman is frightened, he's just a fucking sadist on a powertrip. She was no threat, obviously, he did it because he could. Who shot this footage? What was his badge number and name?

    I was peppersprayed in the eyes at a Bush protest in Portland a few years ago. This was after being beaten in the arm repeatedly with a billy-club. It's a wonder they didn't taser me, being the 240#, 6'2" angry white male that I was.

    The tasering in this video is abusive, uneeded and should result in punitive action by the PPD. Any follow-up?
