the most offensive thing about this clip are the tacti-cool gloves the rent-a-cop is wearing.

That is weird. In my city, the school resource officers are real city police officers. Sounds like nothing more than a rent-a-cop.

I don't get the rent-a-cop thing... in other similar videos where one or more folks are protesting silently or sitting in the audience with signs (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-s2dm2AuUr0) uniformed police are asked by Trump to remove the trouble makers, or the disturbance is large enough that the police intervene and again, remove the troublemakers. Are these guys on the clock or are they off duty paid goons? The fat boy in the cowboy hat should have been arrested for his actions, no?

The brown shirt reference is well chosen. Don't know about others, but this is some scary shit, and the asshats that are following Chump have zero appreciation for both the freedom to vote and the responsibility to the country in doing so.

Making America Hate Again-CHUMP!...er...uhhh...I mean TRUMP!

No surprise these people can't stand any whit of dissent, no matter how respectful or calm it might be, and instantly move from anger to battery and destruction of property while being egged on to go farther. Fascists can never stand disagreement, because it tends to point out how wrong or dumb they are.

Also no surprise, but sad that the rent a cop (at least I hope that cop was off duty and being paid by the Trump campaign) ignored the actual crime and opted to eject the victims.

Why aren't Trump supporters ejected this fast and mobbed when they actually interrupt other candidates and assault and batter people at, for instance, Clinton rallies? It seems to me they have decided in their wisdom that the rules are now that it's OK to beat up and threaten to burn alive 'interlopers' at a rally (as if it's a secret meeting and Trump's secret master plan to win might get out and be ruined), so that should mean they think it's the proper response when they go to other's rallies to interrupt others, right? Turnabout's fair play, after all, right?
(To be clear, I'm not advocating beating and/or burning them, I'm saying they should see that since it's not OK to do to them, it's not OK to do to others...but they don't see that)

insane, back when I was in highschool there was no cops/guards/etc

We even had a smoking section, and guns could be brought on campus.

For smoking section you just needed a letter from parents that they knew you smoked. and on recess the smokers all hung out there.

To bring gun to school, it was during any hunting season. You had to have note from parents that they know. The gun had to be visible, either gun rack in back window of truck or in passenger seat. Rifles and Shotguns only no pistols.

You had to have your Hunter's Safety Course card, Your Hunting License both on you to give copies at office.

You had to leave your vehicle keys with the front office and submit to random vehicle search of the hunter's vehicles only.

So while everyone could go to their cars at recess, or if you had extra empty elective, some of us juniors would drive up to Hardees before lunch and grab fast food then be back before 4th period started, but the hunters had to leave their keys with front office and they could not retrieve them until end of school.

So much more freedom.

Smoking was banned on campus for students only my 10th grade year, but Teachers had the smoking lounge in building. There was a teacher's lounge on each hall, the back hall F where weight lifting, welding, home ec, and vocational classes were was where the teacher's smoking lounge was. Most students friendly with teachers could sneak in there and smoke anyhow.

crazy times.

I had a 84 Camaro and kept a flare gun under seat my dad owned a boat and had couple extra flare guns. So I had that for some crazy reason thinking if someone attacked me, at point blank range I'd put on a huge firework show


Then there was the stereotypes that were proven right not wrong.

The jocks hung out together, the headbangers/smokers hung out together, the nerds, the band folks like me as my senior year I was drum major
and the blacks stayed together all in separate cliques at lunch and recess and before/after school.

stereotypes even went further.

the only highschool girls with babies (during time I was there I stress) were black girls, they had to build a daycare from the old mechanic shop behind the highschool for them. And even though this was the early 90s in the south, you'd hear over the Intercom every 6 months "All Black female students to gym at this time please" where they'd get lectured on abstinence, or condom use, and std's and such.

the only time rest of the student body went through that was in 10th grade they'd take the boys one day, and girls the next day.

We had a blast though as the guys, the protection/std talk was given by one of the football coaches, and during the talk with the guys and showing various "shock images" of std's on penis on the TV, when he got to the "sex ed" portion, he flipped in a Nina Hartley porn intro where a nude Nina Hartley showed the correct way to place a condom on. haha was hilarious looking back before "political correctness" went out of control.

I loved highschool and college.

Graduated high school in 94, got associates in 96, took year off then got bachelors in computer science in 99.

But 89-94 (our highschool here in the deep south is 8th through 12th) most are 9-12, but not here. It's still 8-12th here. So it's nothing seeing 12th graders dating 8th graders. Freaky yea, but not unusual.


If you got into a fight, if a coach was around he'd let the fight finish, unless it got a bit too over the top then they'd break it up. You didn't get suspended, you lost recess privileges usually 3 days plus the starter of the fight got 10 licks of the paddle in principle office, the other only got 1 to 3, or if person was just dominated and got ass kicked you just got detention.


Kids didn't act up at all most times. And the reason was Corporal Punishment. Not private paddling either.


Once I was having a bad day, me and "highschool" sweetheart were having a bit of a spat. We sat next to each other so we were bickering a bit during class. Teacher had yelled at me to shut up and do the work. I sighed "Leave me the fuck alone"

bad move.

She called me to front of class and I got 5 licks of paddle in front of everyone. They'd stick finger in your belt loop and yank it up tight to put that extra sting on it. Embarrassing as hell! Even female older teachers who didn't paddle hard, it was just too embarrassing to get paddled, so kids behaved.


And of course if you refused paddling which you could but you'd take a zero for the day's work. few of those in a semester and no matter how hard you worked you were flunking that semester.


But the system worked.

It wasn't until they went crazy insane on political correctness, stopping corporal punishment, and putting cops/rent a cops/guards in schools and after the No Child Left Behind was signed into law, they severely dumbed down kids forcing the smartest to learn at the slowest kids pace. Doc's prescribing SSRI's like candy to kids in MASSIVE quantities, that schools in today's culture are crazy.

The police were called in when a local rent a cop complained that he was supposedly sitting in a private "Employees Only" area and refused to leave. They dropped the charges only when several witnesses confirmed that Chris Lollie (our victim) was not in any such area and that the security guard was full of shit.

First of all, there is no "norm in America." It's a big fucking place, and schools are locally managed. I suppose waivers are relatively normal when children are expected to be in a risky situation without the supervision of their guardian. Suppose for example your kids were going to go on a rock climbing field trip. Would parents not be asked to consent to that? That's fucking weird. The weird part is that this waiver is clearly not related to the situation. These particular people at this particular school are clearly particularly stupid. That's why it's a video on the internet. It's not weird that they want 5 year olds' guardians to arrange for some sort of supervised transport home. I think it would be strange to just let a 5 year old walk miles down a highway to their home. The school would clearly have some liability if they allowed the child to do that without their guardian's permission.

As for the cop, well, again, that's a locale to locale sort of thing. He might not be a permanent fixture at the school (although some schools have rent-a-cops). He may have been called in because the guy caused a ruckus off camera. Do you not have cops go to places where there is an incident? So, for example, if someone went to a school and refused to leave until his demands were met, would you not call in a cop to mediate the situation?

An excellent rent a cop, er... cat =o)

>> ^shagen454:

The guy has to be a little crazy to do that. Not that I find anything really wrong with it and I love that he did it; but the guy is obviously a little nutty.


You'd have to be crazy to go to all that effort and then not even break in and steal the thousands of dollars of camera equipment inside... Shit, that one still camera looked REALLY nice. There was other equipment in there too.

If they can afford that kind of hardware and just leave it out on the side of the road and drain the battery, why can't they pay some rent-a-cop to do the same thing?

So awesome, he transcends into Cartoons =D

people hate larouche because he makes sense. 100 times more sense than the mainstream narrative.


lol. Yeah, he seems like such a level-headed guy.

This protester was hog tackled (quite literally) because he was disturbing the peace. If he hadn't started screaming shit he probably would have been fine. Some rent-a-cops tackling a silent, peaceful demonstrator would have been much more interesting.

no doubt if the guy was passing out coupons for at&t.com he would have been left alone.
civil rights get trampled by anyone these days, even rent-a-cops.

OMFG, if a terrorist wanted to take pictures, they could. This is ridiculous. I fucking hate cops. And then a Homeland Security guy shows up to verify they aren't on a watch list? WTF is happening in this country? "Terrorism" is being used to justify just about any action a cop/rent-a-cop wants to take. Too many cops in this country. Too goddamned many cops. Look at the way they all puff up, as if they are truly making a difference, and not just feeding their egos.

It's time for a bloody revolution. This shit has to end.

Just left of center screen.
There's a cop that trips, loses the shield, and falls on their face.
That was totally fucking awesome.
But no, there really was next to no violence in this video. I don't know the whole story.. I don't know if these really were just non-violent protesters, or the ones who are going around burning police cars and wrecking buildings.
We've dropped the ball on this. By no means should we have bid on hosting G20 this year, especially after we just shelled out a lot of money for the Olympics.
Harper should've realized that people would be pissed about our tax money going to both things as it is, not to mention like $57,000 on an indoor lake 100 meters from a REAL lake. And now that this is happening, we don't even have the military here clearing the streets of the violent protesters, just rent-a-cops doing their best, and whatever police force the city can afford to send out.
While I disagree with disbanding a non-violent protest in this manner, at least nobody (except the cop who fell on their face) got hurt.


Canada shelled out 10 Million Dollars in Damages to Maher Arar, justly, I think they didn't have a reason to bid on jack shit for some time.

10 Million Dollars to right a wrong. G20 and jackboots are small fries compared to the shit the Allies get up to these days.

At least Ontario had the balls to pay out. The US didn't do jack shit, except deny the case its day in court.

Alas, my rant is beside the point of this video.

More to the point, though, do you think the Military should be clearing the street of protesters, violent or not? I don't know if Canada has a Posse Comitatus law but it is not the Military's Job to disperse angry citizens. The Military's job is to kill, which is exactly why the Posse Comitatus act exists. It puts soldiers in a very bad place, when they have to act on their own soil. I could argue the same point about Police Actions in sovereign nations, but I'd be arguing against years of Policy.
