Who the fuck goes camping and a haul all that shit ... isn't their enough noise pollution in everyday life that people can't going camping without bringing their noise with them.

Sorry Brian, I would've posted that story here had I seen the thread. I didn't do a search.

No worries- I forgot I had started this thread too! )

Yeah, kind of weird having noise guitar and cop drummer in the woods. I feel the same way about people shooting in national, and state forests and BLM land, all of which is generally allowable and better than my neighbors shooting (which is what woke me up this morning thanks a lot assholes) but that kind of thing does make the woods less accessible for those of us who want to enjoy nature without the human noise factor.

I take an acoustic guitar with me when I car camp, it is generally much preferred to those who bring effin radios! Drums is just crazy, get yourself a damn djembe!
If you want to get away from the yahoos you gotta get a few miles from the nearest parking lot.

For sure.

I guess I should have posted that RCMP drumming video in the police abuse thread

I went into a Walmart today (working not shopping) and found about 30 state troopers shopping with kids and it was nice to see. Lots of smiles and piggyback rides.

The RCMP drumming video was funny other than the guys making noise in the woods.

This video probably also belongs in the "The Idiot Thread". Haha!

While killer cops get sent on paid vacations, it’s hard to imagine what one has to do to actually be fired. It turns out, the answer is be a good cop.

Former Buffalo Police Officer, Cariol Horne is fighting for her pension since she was fired after 19 years on the force, over an incident in 2006 when she stopped a fellow officer from choking a handcuffed suspect.

That is completely unbelievable! Everybody should read that one....it just goes to show at what lengths are other officers are willing to let police violence against handcuffed subjects to go before doing something or even speaking up about an incident. Unreal, I hope officer Horne gets her pension she deserves it.

Peace

I'm impressed with this site you frequent, JC!

The MT has nothing on the meaningful dialogue on display there. For example, look at this commentary right after the story:

Top Commenter: She was right and the others were wrong. No grey area here, it's all crystal clear. Cops are a uncivil, animalistic, and barbaric brotherhood.

Next Response: Not only that most of those cops on badges are not even human, they are foul evil spirits aka demonic force's.

Next Response: Hey! I'm in league with demonic forces, and I take offense to that! Don't compare fine, upstanding demons to the incredible assholes that are American police officers.

Just pure, well formulated, rational and heightened thought.

Now I know why you have such an extreme level of concern though! You think cops are demons. Just relax... they're actually not.

A few musings:

1. The 'puncher' is indeed an asshole.
2. At a very minimum, the woman seems to have a legal case. If there is any substance to this story at all... I'm sure she'll succeed in the courts.
3. The 'puncher' has been indicted for civil rights violations.
4. I wonder what the 'puncher' came across at the scene of the domestic violence? I know I'd have a hell of a time refraining from smacking some goof who may have just beaten the shit out of his wife with his fists and an electrical cord.
5. That's an awful picture of Kevin Costner (I think that's Costner) and his sweetheart!

Interesting you would say that you would have a hard time refraining yourself even if the alleged culprit is handcuffed. However then again it would be rather easy to smack him around once in those said handcuffs.

I know police work is very tough, in fact ANY job one has to work where you could be killed at any moment for no reason at all is a difficult job indeed. However, I don't think it's appropriate or legal for an officer to take out his emotions, actions on an arrestee once he's subdued and handcuffed.

Peace

I agree with you.

I was only making the point that I'm not too sympathetic with men who beat their wives and children. If this cop came to the scene and saw something horrific and he responded emotionally the way he did... I don't feel badly for the asshole who beat his wife.

And yes, I get it. The cop should be held accountable for his unprofessional behaviour if the story is as we read it. As tempting as it might be for a cop to beat the piss out of someone who needs the piss beaten out of them, they simply cannot do it despite the fact that they'd ultimately be doing somebody a favour.
