What are some of the tools that Citizens can use against Police using excessive force?
Incidents of Police brutality and excessive use of force seems to have become part of our society and getting more often. The situation seems to be a losing one for the citizens and public. After all a person with no obvious power of authority to punish or harm anyone is given a pistol and taser device and then at some point he/she decides to use these tools against people with no means of being able to protect themselves.
I know that there may be legal remedies such as complaint and law suit that can take life time and although sounds realistic it is a total joke. Let’s face the scenario, when a person’ right is violated by the Government, the case involves attorneys which can cost exuberant amounts of money. The Government has Counsel paid by the people to protect itself while the person/people have to pay out of their own pocket to be represented. What’s wrong with this scenario?
I recently read an article from somewhere in the Middle-East where 2 police officer was involved beating up a women with baton in the street for not wearing the required head scarf correctly. Within minutes a large crowd gathered to witness the incident but instantly the crowd attacked the policeman, took away the baton and began beating them in the same sever manner that the policeman was beating the woman until some other members of the public stopped the crowd to allow the policeman to escape. I was then thinking that although beating a policeman is not tolerated everywhere and carries a very harsh sentence these people in a somewhat third world country had the right idea about protecting the public. After all these policeman did not have the power and authority to punish anyone but they did so. What’s right with this picture?
In certain clear situations involving kids, elderly and others, why shouldn’t citizens be able to determine if a police officer is using excessive force, abusing someone and stop them on the spot? Although waiting for other law enforcement to arrive to relief the problem is what the system wants us to do but it may be too late for the persons who are being abused by the cops as it is been in many instances. After all, when its over, we all know that the Cop will not be in trouble and will be doing it again. Worse than this is the fact that there are no real remedies for anyone who is physically and mentally abused by persons who were supposed to protect them.
I think in certain instances when it is clear that cops are using excessive or improper use of force the public should step in and protect the innocent from further harm even if it means that there may be consequences for them. We don’t live in a perfect society but man made problems like this can have quick easy remedies if the good citizens are alert and able to help each other. Some one may say that "police have the authority to do whatever they want and if they do wrong it is up to the system to correct them and not the public" It seems that the system is not working or doing anything about the remedy to this situation because the instances of Police brutality and excessive use of force is sky rocketing. As stated in certain situations (certainly not all instances when there is no harm to anyone by police), but if the citizens get involved and restrain the officers from the wrongful conduct and protect the public. What is wrong with this?
Anyone knows of the legal way of combating this situation even if it involves breaking the law by a small degree. Remember if the Police breaks the law and hurts someone or even kill them it will be white washed by the system. If we the people stop the mad police officer from breaking the law and harming the citizens, may go to jail but eventually would be released for protecting the public and the peace. Am I right about this?
What is your realistic remedy to this problem which seems to be occurring everyday?

IMDB rating: 4.50 Plot: A movie spin-off from Harry Enfield’s TV series, featuring the popular character of Kevin the Teenager.

But they aren’t prepared for the interference of top DJ Eyeball Paul, not to mention the embarrassment factor of Kevin’s long-suffering parents. |

"Harry Enfield’s Television Programme" both are TV shows. They are very searchable on youtube.

In the movie Purple Rain, when The Kid is playing the song about "nikki", why does apollonia run out?
is the song about her or is it about The Kid cheating on her?
the song’s about her being depicted as a skeezer…the kid’s hurt so he hurts her back….not about cheating

what the dakota fanning?
okay so i just watched a movie she was in called "hounddog" cut movie, i would recommened it. but, i saw another movie she was in,"the secret life of bees"
im pretty sure either they were made the same year (2008) or a year apart. (2008,2009) well, in houndog she looked very different that when she did in secret life of bees, she look younger!
and i was asking a few questions,
was it her little sister? and they just mis credited her.
was the year incorrect?
was it made 1 year or months from eachother?
No they didn’t mis credit her, it wasn’t her little sister. But the movie Hounddog was released in 2007, while the Secret Life of Bees was released in 2008. It can take anywhere from a year to a year and a half or longer from filming to the actual movie release. So that probably explains why she looks so different. =D

IMDB rating: 6.00 Plot: Set in the 1960s, Frances ‘Baby’ Houseman, a sweet daddy’s girl, goes to a very respectable summer camp in the Catskills. Baby has grown up in privileged surrounds with her doctor father and all expect her to go on to college, join the Peace Corps and save the world before marrying a doctor, just like her father. Unexpectedly, Baby becomes infatuated with the camp’s dance instructor, Johnny, a man whose background is vastly different to her own. Attempting to impress him, Baby borrows money from her father to pay for an illegal abortion for Johnny’s dance partner. She then fills in as Johnny’s dance partner and it is during the rigorous training that they fall in love. It all comes apart when Johnny’s friend falls seriously ill after her abortion and Baby is forced to seek her father’s medical assistance. Her father then learns what Baby has been up to, who with and worse – that he funded the illegal abortion. He bans his daughter from any further association with “those people”. In the first deliberately willful action of her life, Baby later sneaks out to see Johnny – ostensibly to apologize for her father’s rudeness – and ends up consummating her relationship with Johnny. A jealous fellow vacationer sees Baby sneaking out of Johnny’s bungalow the next morning and in an act of retribution, tells management that he is responsible for a theft that last evening, knowing he would not furnish his real whereabouts. Attempting to defend her lover, Baby confesses that they were together that night – all night. This revelation causes a huge rift in the family and Baby makes an impassioned speech to her angry and bereft father. At the closing night performances, and although he has been fired and banned from attending – Johnny returns and takes the stage to tell everyone about the woman who stole his heart and changed his life before they have one, final dance together. |

How to make this party theme work?
For my 18th birthday party I’m having a Dirty Dancing themed party. (The movie people) I wanted to know what would be good decorations to get and stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated.
Merci beaucoup
You could:
get some dancing shoes/high heels to set around…(try a thrift shop). White christmas lights are festive.
Get some quotes on-line and print them out large and hang on the walls or table, i.e.: Allgemein | Comment (0)
