So RedTube is the porno version of YouTube and BluTube is the cop version of YouTube. Which would get the cop porn?

They modeled their video format on YouTube so everyone's face would come out pixelated.

Man, it's been a long time since some random video link made me laugh out loud like that. His completely matter of fact response makes it.

There are already plenty of videos on YouTube of cops torturing people with tasers.

I am so embarrassed for that cop right now.

While I roared with laughter with the frisking, it's interesting to see what new weapons the cops will be using, like a flashlight incapacitator now being used because of "300 deaths over the past few years" due to tasers.

You know, the two aren't mutually exclusive.

Just curious - why is the cop's face pixelated out while the innocent man's isn't? blanked

Ignore the blanked.

On the last link, at least the cop apologizes (twice); I don't have the impression that he is a sadistic authoritarian at all.

What a touching story! Show-me-on-the-doll-where-the-officer-touched-you touching.

not that anybody introduced the idea of sadistic authoritarians! I think my comment was just mostly in comparison to the Hope Steffey video post.

Dunkin doesn't have to advertise with cops.

Oh, I see what you did. You asked a question you already knew the answer to in order to make a point about the unfairness of the world. Well played.

Stopping a deranged man armed with an AK-47 from shooting even more innocent people than he already has.

Holy crap, I don't know if it's police protocol to jump onto that car like the sharpshooter did, but that's seriously one of the ballsiest things I've ever seen.

The shooter in this incident used a semi-auto MAK-90, not a full-auto AK-47.

From nickyskye's flashlight link:
MetaFilter: The longer you look at this, the more you don't want to look at it.

Anyway, cool stuff.

The "kooky" wacky" and "fun" side of the new American police state.

Thanks, I've been suffering from melodrama deficiency.

Also may I suggest "police" and/or "cops" as tags for this post? It seems to make sense.

Interesting that the news item on the LED incapacitator chose some less-than-encouraging footage of other "less-lethal weapons" for the lead-in: "rubber bullets" seemed to be accompanied by footage from the LA immigration rally that was attacked without provocation last year; the "TASER" clip was clearly Vancouver RCMP killing Robert Dziekanski; and for pepper spray, well, it really did just look like a cop spraying someone who didn't appear to be doing a damn thing. I wonder if they were chosen for that reason?

At any rate, I'm certain that they will use their new vomit flashlight in the responsible, respectful and restrained manner we've come to expect from all our peace officers.
