This seems like the male version of the beauty pageants obsession. I can't imagine a kid wanting to do all that out of his own free will.

I am amazed at the number of people here judging so harshly on incomplete information. There is NOT enough video to tell what was really going on there.

These cops thought that the guy had just attacked somebody with a knife! They ran towards him (rather than fleeing for their lives) in order to stop him from hurting anybody else. That's some brave shit right there.

Yeah, the takedown could have been better. Just look at that video and imagine the kid had a knife when he turned to face the cop. I bet the cop had that image in mind.

So it could have been many things. Incompetence, brutality, or accident? There just is not enough video to know.

If you want a clear-cut case of police brutality, there are plenty of other videos here on the sift for you. But not this one.

JAPR, here is where I disagree with you (and the description above of atheist) and why I don't think it fits into your explanation.

I define being an atheist as "not believing the "evidence" that has been presented to me about "god(s)".

"god(s) do not exist, as per the evidence provided to me"

No one had to "teach" me how to be an atheist. So just because I do not believe what different religions have presented to me, I am labeled an atheist. While we all start off with no theistic beliefs, As rottenseed so aptly (and eloquently) pointed out "Not knowing is different then knowing naught." But therin lies a blurred line.

imagine a kid. "not knowing" of any theistic thoughts.(how we start)

then someone approaches the kid with the idea of the trinity god. now just because that kid does not buy into their "stories and beliefs", the kid is labeled an Atheist (knowing naught). (how you described in your first post)

But that same religious person can be confronted by 1 million other religions and come to the same conclusion (not believing in the evidence the "other" religions present).

so what is the word for that ? as far as I knwo there is none.

But I assert it is a form of atheism, (religous folks get out of that label cause they always use "god" in a grand sense (only to their own religion), never in a specific sense, as in "why yes, I believe in the god of the OT (or NT, or Koran, or Book of Mormon... I should name something other than the abrahimic religions)...

While I know that Adult swim is supposed to be for adults, I know people who let their kids watch it. (I know, their fault) Still, it made me a little sick to my stomach imagining a kid watching this video and thinking this behavior is ok.

When something is presented in cartoon format, it is easier to disassociate yourself from the reality and actions that are portrayed. Children have a harder time doing this than adults.

Again, I know it comes down to parents monitoring what their children watch, but I still think this video crosses a line that should not be crossed.

LOL.. that was awesome. I'm guessing autism probably has more to do with his social skills, but I'm sure homeschooling didn't help. I can't imagine this kid "relates well to others"

This would be awesome for commercial use, but I couldn't imagine some kids trying to tag a building with this. It'll take forever.

Recalibrate every time you turn on the Genesis? Damn - that's ridiculous. And unintentionally hilarious.

I can also imagine pudgy kids getting tired and losing their game. Or just waving their hands haphazardly instead of actually doing those oh so cool kicks. Heh.

yeah yeah, north korea is bad. can´t you just enjoy the great work these kids do? and of course, they have to be beaten to do things like that, no one can imagine these kids to that for fun...
