Bully Cops: Feature Arrest of ABC Reporter in Denver. News&Opinion

Thanks for the flag Paschen. I did not see Emilio's post.

Are we to rely on a reporter from "somewhere in China" to present  an accurate, complete story on police brutaliy in the United States?

foneman 30 I know it is quite an an embarrassment for you to realize, but I am only reporting what I see and have found as most reporters in the world do. You should direct that comment to the people in the US who got the video coverage on tape.

And there it is....This is Rev. Jermano   God Bless.

I thank everyone here for your flags and comments. I only want to add that my intent is not per-say targeting cops as being bad....but addressing the issue of the lack of education to the needs in knowing the ideals of Nonviolence in America. I think our men in uniform are trained to be Violent more than understanding the ideals to Nonviolence. If our laws and enforcers are more prone to use violence isn't it a wonder that society would also be. I just think the issue of this century is understanding the need for more Nonviolent Action, instead of  using the brutality of Violence.

ABC is now demanding that all charges be dropped.  At first blush this does seem like an outrageous abuse of police power.

The change we are seeking can not be realized with the political posturing that has cemented and polarized both parties in the USA. They both offer nothing of substantial change. They offer nothing about the goodness and virtues to Nonviolence. They neither encourage or admit that Nonviolence is something of a change we need. Why is that? We honor Rev. King once a year, but we don't honor his message and do things to help people over come stress, over come anger, over come the inability to seek peaceful resolution. Why I ask?

I refuse to be part of an American Society that needs to defend it's criminal past. How absurd to think there is nothing to heal and bridge this riff and nurture society toward what kinder and gentler nation is all about. It was fine and grand to hear those  few scant words from Mr. Bush....but nothing every developed from it except more bombs, killings, war, and destruction of evidence from the same mistakes made in history that encouraged  911 to happened.

To let you all know I was a victim to police bullying when I lived in the USA...Having been pulled over, grabbed from my car, pounded and beat up, later finding I was accused of shooting a doctor and stealing his car. Thing is I didn't do it. So... my car looked like his, except they didn't notice my license plate was different? I will not live in such a violent society, that flies off in a moment of rage as if that is normal.

To think....... people have been beat up thrown in jail, accused of commiting crimes they never commited and end up being executed is something I just can not accept in my framework of thinking that liberty and justice for all citizens in the US is an achievable or desired endeavor. 911 case in point is how the police has neglected its investigative duties while bending over and bowing to the White House elite who caused the murder of over 10,000 Americans when including the death of American soldiers killed in the false war on terror in Iraq.

Where do we go? How do we fix this social and societial problem in the USA? The first is getting the first Nonviolent President elected.

Just because it seems now that the election is really a toss up now with John McCain pulling a Hillary by naming S. Palin as his VP, does not mean we turn away in hopelessness. All people who commit acts of terror always try to defend their actions, even by wrapping themself and actions in the flag.

Let's not make us forget the thousands of innocent people McCain killed without a thought, or the students he bombed in a school, and his determined aggression to kill people in foreign lands, while claiming honor and duty to his country to committ terror.

What-gives.?.. is that I suppose the cops who committed the above acts of Violence have a defense as well to why they did what they did. So what other things do we need in society above all, other than seeking Nonviolence?

There are many, but mostly it is being truthful and honest and admitting our mistakes. When we do not support acts of Nonviolence or do not acknowledge that Nonviolence is the only answer we have toward changing society how can a Violent Society expect to be a kinder and gentler nation?  America is far from that goal....and I write to pull us toward that appeal.
