Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
Well if your not going to reply Ill make a partial rebuttal... the media works hand in hand with government policies... if it reports some controversies its because people might be quick to find alternative sources to get the real truth... which they already are. This is why PressTV is being banned in Canada also. PressTV - Press TV, iFilm taken off air in US, Canada
Wow, your stupidity has reached a new level.
I went to Youtube and was able to browse and watch all of PressTV's videos. I'm also able to visit their website and read articles and watch videos. Not that I'd want to watch that useless propaganda, but if I had an IQ of <80 and I did want to - well they are there waiting for me.
Please tell me, you fucking idiot, how PressTV is banned in Canada when I still have access to their information? Even the link you provided was to PressTV's own website. How fucking stupid that you claim it's banned yet use their own website to tell us they're banned.
I found a news report about the police brutality video I posted... you can clearly see how the beating clip was edited to not show the whole story... I cant believe people still dont get that the media is not on their side but against. Violent Police Arrest Surveillance Video Released in Quebec Court - YouTube
Your stupidity knows no bounds. First you claim the VPD video shows all we need to see when everyone else is saying we need to see the whole video. Now you're claiming the Montreal video was edited and the "full version" shows the truth. Hypocritical much?
Please tell me, you fucking idiot, how PressTV is banned in Canada when I still have access to their information?
I'll take your word for that - I'm not watching any PressTV videos because I need my 156 IQ points kept intact. I estimate each viewing of a PressTV video costs an average of one IQ point - at this rate Chuckles is probably well into the negative range.

I spent a few hours watching/listening to PressTV a while back when the 9/11 thread was still going. I'll admit that certain news coverage seemed relatively impartial but as soon as they started talking about anything to do with the West, you could see a huge bias enter their pieces. Tons of loaded language, rhetoric and false assumptions based on incorrect information.
Do you people think it's OK to arrest a person just because they are talking shit to the cops?
It depends on the situation, so a generic yes or no answer doesn't work. There will always be people out there who tells cops to fuck off even if said officer is simply trying to prevent that person from walking into the line of fire of a hostage situation. In a case like that, then yes, I'd say it's okay. But if it's merely someone giving a cop a bit of lip because they got puled over for speeding, then no.

everyone, put on your tinfoil caps, the government is watching!
One question: if the fellow being arrested is a healthy, normal human being with no disability or prior injury which prevents him from putting his hand behind his back, then why did he pull his hand away?
Our cops aren't perfect, nor is our court and justice system. But I'd definitely take our flawed system over a completely messed up system, EG: some third-world country...or Mexico.

I was going to reply to this but I got distracted and forgot.
Like Lomac says, it's one of those things that really depends and you can never make a universal declaration one way or the other. Do I think someone should get arrested (or detained) solely for mouthing off at the cops? Absolutely not. Do I think that the police are justified in situations where they or others are put at risk? For sure.
The police are often put in dangerous or risky situations--situations that wouldn't occur to most people. Someone earlier in the thread mentioned walking by a club while there's some crazy shit going down. They have no idea who's involved, and guess whose neck is on the line if they let a person who committed assault go? Let's imagine you start freaking out while getting a speeding ticket or parking infraction. If you jump out and start swinging at a cop, his first instinct is going to be to jump back--guess where that puts him? In traffic. Words are often the first step towards greater acts of aggression, and the police (whether we like to admit it or not) will often have a better sense of judgement in terms of who is likely to freak the fuck out and start getting crazy. Preemptive action is sometimes necessary to ensure that the situation doesn't get out of hand, even if it doesn't calm down.
Unfortunately, there's no way to prove what a person "would have done", so the police are often on the wrong end of a very shitty stick: "But I wasn't going to do anything, your Honour, I was just upset and angry and yelling!". This claim is often made by people in these kinds of situations, and the media is always glad to report on them--but does not always do due diligence in finding out whether or not the individual is the type of person to regularly get in to these kinds of issues, or whether this truly is a one-shot deal.
That last is one of the thing I have to say I love about the internet. Interwebs detectives are often fantastic at weeding out the backstory and a more detailed truth than that which is presented in a single snippet in the media.
Who needs the Province to report on shootings and traffic accidents when we've got RS?

Idiot cyclist runs a red light while not wearing a helmet. Cop car pulls up. *FREEZE FRAME* *CHAPELLE SHOW VOICE* "At this point Hamid the Cyclist was faced with 2 decisions: either accept the fact that he had blatantly broken 2 laws simultaneously while furthering admitting that "Bro it was 4 in the morning. there are no cars around bro. bro. do you know who I am bro??" was not a legitimate excuse for his actions.
OR... Deny he was at fault. Use the aforementioned argument as his first line of defence for his actions, and attempt to resist arrest FOR NO FUCKING REASON.
