“A 20-year-old Venice skateboarder and his family are accusing Los Angeles police of using unnecessary force after a video shows him pinned to the ground and an officer punching him in the face. The incident unfolded Saturday afternoon when college student Ronald Weekley Jr. was riding his skateboard in the street when officers sought to detain him, police said. Weekley’s attorney alleges that police grabbed him and threw him to the ground. Weekley suffered a broken nose, concussion and fractured cheekbone, said Ryan Julison, a spokesperson for attorney Benjamin Crump.

The police are themselves empowered psychopaths, who act like an occupying force in most locales; especially in places with large minority populations. They are out of control, because they have been trained and instructed to treat the civilian population in America in the same manner as the military treats civilian populations in their many war zones.
Its really sad to think that their is little that can be done to rectify this.
The one thing that really angers me about situations like this is that any “investigation” will always exonerate the officers and find that they were acting in accord and compliance with the law. That just underscores the perversion of the law and how law have been written against just about anything.
These officers feel justified in attacking and arresting a teenager skating on the wrong side of the street. How insane is that? Common sense has completely vanished.
Lastly, the one who will be dealt with harshly will be this teen. He probably was arrested, charged with resisting arrest, attacking a police officer, and guilty of disorderly conduct etc. That is how corrupt and debased the “judicial”system is in America. And as long as we consent to it, legitimize it, respect it, even give it any sense of authority, we are guilty in propping it up. Voting for the present system only serves to extend its life and reign of terror. The global war of terror has its domestic component and we are just beginning to see its results.
Withdraw your consent. Stop voting for the current system.
