RE:

there's a lot more, going back far longer than
"Loose Change", I'm afraid.

It's tough to imagine, probably kinda painful
for folks to realize the levels of subversion/
corruption that exist in the running of an Empire,
or a global economy.

Building 7 is the indisputable smoking gun,
I mean, they must think we're idiots to believe
the "official" version.

"You never know what happened unless you're there in person."

I hope you apply this to every part of your life, Jeff.

Fattrad: "You never know what happened unless you're there in person. Notice how the nice lady was smiling as she was loaded into the ambulance?"

With all due respect, that is BULLSH#T. I just watched the video and you cannot NOT see her smiling as she was loaded into the ambulance.

What I love about these cop brutality threads is how the cops and their buddies are so predictable. They say the same thing consistently, like clockwork: "The video doesn't show what is really happening. You'd have had to be there to know that."

The only time you hear them say that is when the video shows a cop doing something bad. Cops use video all the time to "prove" things against other people.

But this youtube video doesn't contain any actual video--it is only a series of still shots. So we cannot see how the woman got the bruises and what she she did or didn't do.

While a poor choke-hold, Fatty, it's a good enough picture of one that the guy (choke-ee) is gonna get paid and the cop's (choker) family is probably going to be eating a whole lot of Top Ramen for a while.

Seriously, if you're going to beat people up, make sure there aren't any cameras around! I don't get it when stuff like this happens in places where they KNOW they are going to be filmed. Not that I'm condoning it in ANY way, I just believe that in MOST cases it takes a certain personality to be a copper and that personality has the propensity for violence and the need for control. Do they simply just "lose it" and forget where they are when this happens?

Fattrad: "You're right, it's not a smile, more of a smirk."

I call bullsh#t. You are seeing what you want to see. The resolution on youtube is not good enough to make you her facial expression.

Also, from the newspaper article at http://www.csindy.com/gyrobase/Content?oid=oid%3A20355

"Police soon cuffed Eric Verlo, who displayed a parade tag on the rearview mirror of his lime-green Bookman van, and placed him on the asphalt.

Two officers also dragged Elizabeth Fineron, the van's 65-year-old passenger, along the street and away from the parade. Her pants slid down, exposing her skin, and the asphalt cut into her upper left leg and stomach.

She admits that she asked an officer for his name and badge number, with a raised voice.

"The next thing I remember was, I was on the ground and he and another policeman were dragging me across the street on my hip, on the left side of my body," says Fineron, who needs a cane because she's had both hips and knees replaced. "They kind of pushed me into the curb and walked away from me."

She was briefly hospitalized, and this week was taking pain pills."

"I don't know anything about CS, but I know that was not a "legal permit". Where is the name, signatue, office of the city official?'

Read the press articles. Nobody (including the parade officials) are) are disputing that Velo had permit and was displaying an official parade tag.

Rodney King was high as a kite. He SHOULD have plowed into a car full of kids and it would be just another sad story like you hear every sunday morning, but some local boys found him first and gave him a knucklin'. He should be grateful he didn't kill several people. Lock that loser up for life. Last year a drunk man on the 76 plowed into a dinner party when he swerved off the road, 6 died another 12 injured. Kick his ass too.

Yea, I wanted to cry. Bunch of elderly folks attempting to show "police brutality" by playing "Peace Train" and showing scrapes?

The civil rights movement is often responsible for setting civil rights back in this country. It happens every time Sharpton yells race. And every time folks yell "police brutality" in response to cops telling them what to do.
