The vid was ok, but either way he'll certainly be missed...but the irony is that with him dying the way he did and doing what he loved...he's become larger than he ever was when he was living.

I don't agree with everything he did, but I respect the fact he had sincere passion for what he loved and was able to pursue it and share it with the world. He really affected many people's lives for the better, put Queensland on the map and made many people in the mainstream more aware of wildlife conservation.

KRIKEY! We'll miss him!

Although we don't know the exact situation it doesn't really matter whether or not the parent should have called 911 or dealth with the situation herself.

911 recordings/transcripts are used in court and a comment like that at the wrong time could even create confusion in the wrong situation. The comment may have been funny, per se...but not in that situation. He's not a bloody inbound phone rep for life insurance...he's a 911 operator who should be thinking more clearly.

Like someone said, make the joke to your co-workers AFTER hanging up.

if you look in the background, you can also see the shockwave run over and demolish the marshmellow plant....

Were any Umpa-lumpas hurt or killed in this tragedy?

wow, each boom bigger than the last! Where's the rest? It looks like a video set up by someone's legal team for court or a class action case...

Usually, the correct Republican-Conservative reply is to brand him as a media tool or some kind of "liberal".

Since I moved to Europe, I noticed more and more how too many associate critisizm as "disloyalty" or being a complainer.

more from "Robinson vs Penn State Troopers" US District court no.04-3592:

"The police, under the cover of an invalid law, do not
have unfettered discretion to arrest individuals for words or
conduct that annoy or offend them."

Well, it might not be in good taste, but it's a small price to pay (people trying to prove a stupid point in an inappropriate place and time) for our 1st amendement rights.

The supreme court DID rule on people observing and recording police officers, in a California case back in the 60s:
Any citizen may observe a police officer in the performance of his duty as long as he stands a resonable distance away. This ruling establishes this distance as 8 to 10 feet.

I'm currently trying to track down the details of this info.

I also thought it was cute how they tried to bullshit them into turning off the camera...especially the audio part.

You gatta be kidding...lol. You, uh....well....want war? Well, uhm...er...ya...um..that's right...uh....the...uh....yeah the cops are going to uh....erm....raid yer houses....thank you very much.

Cop was a wuss. There was no indication she was a physical threat. He was just pissed.

Hilarious! The officer seemed like he'd had training...using his foot to tap back the dog. He'd easily been in his rights to shoot him. I just hope the dog didn't freak and bite any of the kids around!

And dogs actually make that sound? I thought it was only in the bugs-bunny cartoons they'd yipe and scream like that!

Ditto.

well, of course it's a bit corny acting, but it's usefull advice. The ACLU may go too far sometimes, but it's good to be knowledgeable, cops are people and they make mistakes.

I don't care what your politics are, Iraq was a big lie. Period. Galloway sucks, but Americans who support the Iraq invasion because they give a shit about Iraqis make me sick...they actually believe they CARE about them? lol.

Nice video, though the point is kinda moot.
Anything is possible...

That was really funny, m8!
