The only good cop is a dead one aka Police Bastards

Leftover Crack - One Dead Cop, Gang Control, Burn Them Prisons, So You Wanna Be A Cop?

One Dead Cop is probably my favourite post-arrest song for singalongability, particularly the opportunity to scream "KILL COPS" repeatedly.

Couldn't not think of this song.

 

Cops do fucking suck, but who else would "help" us when were like being attacked by a bunch of insane people, go to the middle east and see if you can be "punk" there, they would probably arrest you, we take our openness for granted and although i hate cop's for arresting me, i mean they are like a coin of chance, they either fuck it up or help you know what i mean? I think the best thing is to re-create the whole system but in communities not politicians like communities and neighbours, united together, we have our community security but it would be like more of a resistance. Saying fuck the cops just is not going to change anything, when will you people realize this?

 

here in Victoria, Australia the police have a bit of a reputation for shooting the mentally unwell, which sure helps me feel safe at night.

 

i don't live in the middle east but in southern germany, one of the tourist areas famous for lots of historical buildings and nature and things, so people from all over the world come here to the mostly conservative paradise. i have something like a "past" with the radical left in europe, i don't look like everybody else, but i lost much of my motivation to do more than some experimenting with my hair, most of the time i wear working clothes practical for living and working on a farming collective. guess i lost my last ACAB-badge four years ago somewhere during a rough night and because i have a little daughter and still some time left on probation period i'm far from being an activist anymore, i only write for a fanzine here and there, give support to local "green" initatives - i'm almost an "good" citizen now.

No i'm not: once or twice a week i have to do the shopping for everything our commune with almost 30 people doesn't d.i.y's or have to deliver some of our production to swapping partners, the van we use has valid documents, my drivers licence is ok. - but at least on every second or third trip i get checked for id and things by the cops. if i get angry or have forgotten to pocket my passport i'm taken to the next police station to have my identity cleared - by officers i know by name right now - obviously my capacity to memorize names and people is superior to theirs, but why do they always grin?
if i'm getting angry while still in the police station one of the cops mentions "the backroom" or "a set of hot ears" (metaphorically for a set of slabs) or ask me how much my "services" would cost and if i insist on birth control. when i had my daughter with me an officer asked me "wasn't there a place vacant in the orphanage?".

talking with "ordinary" people living here longer than me get's me some "good advice":
let someone else do the driving - don't fiddle with the cops, it's always yes sir, no sir, thank you very much sir... - mind the cops average social background, the high unemployment, the shortage of qualified and social competent applicants for the police academies, the general cost situation in public services - now it's the middle east, and my high risk to be attacked, threatened or simply harrassed by insane people too?
change the system - i wonder what the "protection" we enjoy so much would say about this?
you aren't really serious, are you mr. terrorist?

ps: the last "insane" (as in having psychological problems) person been shot by the police last year in nürnberg died on a staircase because of 27 bullet wounds after threatening his mother and carrying a knife still in his pocket... really insane, isn't it

 

Bit of correction: Tennessee Eisenberg (24) was shot 16 times in Regensburg 2009, his parents went to court to have the case checked after the cops gave a more than questionable statement about his death. The charge was rejected 2010, the cops involved were not charged because their claim of "self-defence" was seen as "very convincing" by the jury in Nürnberg.

Anyhow, there is kinda Parliamentary question in the making, green party and leftwing social democrats asking for detailed information about the police training and the qualification requirements asked from applicants for the police academy. substantiation:
The rising number of deaths or serious wounding caused by police action per year in bavaria...

 

Off topic but appropriate to enlighten some on this thread....

Fullerton Cop Allegedly Bragged About Brutally Beating Homeless Man Kelly Thomas




Mike Riggs | August 2, 2011

The savage police beating of schizophrenic homeless man Kelly Thomas gets more bizarre and upsetting by the day. On Friday an anonymous man claiming to be a police officer called the John and Ken Show on KFI AM to express his and other cops' anger at what happened to Thomas. The caller claimed that a street camera controlled by a police dispatcher showed one cop beating Thomas with the butt of his Taser until blood splattered on his arms, and then dropping his knee on Thomas's face and neck.

That same caller called the show again yesterday, this time disguising his voice. According to Carlos Miller, the caller alleged:

...that it was [a] one-eyed officer doing the beating....He said the quality of the surveillance camera is so good that it could pinpoint the freckles on a person’s chest once it is zoomed in.

He said the district attorney’s office is choosing to not release the video.

He also said most of the officers know the identities of the officers involved and many are not happy with what took place.

He said they were turned off by how the one-eyed officer bragged about the beating and many officers have not been happy with his “heavy-handed tactics” from before the incident.

Five of the six officers who took place in the beating remain on active duty. The sixth is on some type of medical leave.

The one-eyed officer has been transferred to the undercover gang unit, the caller said.

Friends for Fullerton's Future has identified the one-eyed cop as Jay Cicinelli, who was discharged from the LAPD after a suspect shot him in the eye in 1996, blinding him. Cicinelli was 26 and fresh out of police academy. According to the LA Times trial dispatch from 1998, a letter from Cicinelli's mother was read aloud at the sentencing of Cicinelli's shooter, who received life in prison for attempted murder. Here's what she said:

"Mr. Jimenez, you have taken Jay's eye, his face is disfigured, you have damaged his arms, his legs and his stomach, his job is gone and his dream of being a police officer is gone."

If Cicinelli was involved in Thomas' death, and gets convicted for that involvement, I'm guessing Thomas' parents--one of whom is a former police officer--will be reading a similar letter.

Jimenez did not deserve life in prison. He did not kill anyone. The police make he does not see freedom though.
The Police did kill Kellly Thomas and Kelly Thomas deserves justice.

 

The EU always bragged about the "humanitarian" support for Irak, Palestine, Afghanistan - including sending out european cops to train the local "security forces" down there.
Living in my home-"cosmopolitan city with a heart" with it's left-liberal major I wonder if it didn't happened the other way 'round:
"THEY" trained our boyz...:
- constant harrassment on everybody not fitting into the view, minority group people, immigrants, homeless, punks, youths
- always ready for "averting of dangers", easy arresting, often including seriously injuring individuals with knees during tying up suspects, - tonfa-accidents en masse, racist comments, threats with everything from torture up to rape
- finally the "self-defence" cases and "deadly force" shooting -"incidental mortality" during police actions is left out of the official statistics since 1983 in germoney
- huh, who's insane or what was it about setting a dog to keep the geese?

 

I just meant that someone who doesn't kll or rape someone should eventually be let go.

 

Sorry but i think that you should look at this fact from another perspective and i say so cause my father was a socialdemocrat sindicalyst and my mother comes from a family of partisans during thee occupation of Italy by nazis and the so called "Ventennio" of dictatorship with Mussolini as Gran Chief of Fascism and mother, granmother and grandfather believed deeply (like a God in a religion) in Stalin and SSSR and that lack of freedom in the countries associated in the Warsaw Pact was the price to pay (cause the Red Guide Mother Russia was under attack from capitalist western military alliance and was in a state of emergency in defense of bolsheik revolution) for having food and free university and all that bullshit! When you start justifiyng all the rules that make live capitalism (cause i think that capitalism is a complex system of social relationship where one role in the Big Scheme is linked with others) is the end of rebels' hopes...your father i have no doubt was a cop that thought to be there for serve and protect the people who were in difficult like my father thought that is role was defend the workers tryin to have for them a decent house, food, the posibility to go to university for their son and not only for son of rich people but is the role that is to delete: if i'm against authority and reforms and for world wide spread revolt i don't need someone who negotiate how long or short as to be our chains...i don't want chains! So i don't want cops and tradeunionist cause the existence of some which are justifyed cause they don't kill you in police district after an arrest or they don't mess with masters so they act as ONU military interposition leaving the other workers in a condition of exploitation but with a big tv at home, good food 3 times every day, free cinema and theatre and so on or if we think so we can migrate on Northern Europe where socialdemoncrats government act so as a pillow for avoid the blood and tears etc of class war...hope i've explained in a lucid manner my thoughts...salud y revuelta
