I get so angry when I see things like this.  I feel so helpless knowing that all I can do is spread these injustices around, so people can see what is really going on.  However, a lot of the comments on that video make me think that is a hopeless cause as well, as so many people think the cop was right to do this.

Arm yourself with a video camera.  That's our only weapon against this madness.  ...and please, sign the ticket.  It's not worth getting tased.  It's irrational to think that you can battle a hitman who has the biggest gang in the world sticking up for his violence.

It boggles my mind how people let this happen, and I think it has a lot to do with that ANYONE WHO CHALLENGES AUTHORITY SHOULD BE BEATEN TO A PULP mythology.

Even in the sham of democracy that we have, something could be done about this.. but as long as some people don't directly experience these excesses of police power, they much prefer to reap the psychological benefits of their mythologies rather than see things as they are.

Authority is earned credibility, power is what bullies need.

Right. The "Constitution" is a conductor of electricity... 

Aren’t we justifying the same kind of behavior as Utah’s finest just without the badge? That damn power over others bites us all in the rear in its mere existence. Scary? Oh hell yes, just asks a brother. Not seen many in Utah, least not in the rural parts. We (whites) have the option of cooperating completely and walk away, battle later. Much as it sucks it’s our word against theirs even with the videotape and they know it. Else the tape wouldn’t be rolling.

My two bits.

Utah Cop Tasers Man For Refusing To Sign Speeding Ticket

Rodzilla!

I was referring to this incident and we as a collective. I did have a number of encounters with Utah’s finest without problems. A BYU or a “Jesus loves you” bumper sticker could be helpful.
