For the record, i disagree with whats shown in this video, but killing all police, or total anarchy is not the answer.
im sure you dont believe this is an everyday occurence at the police, and when it does happen its usually (hopefully) dealt with.

Oklahoma Highway Patrol Troopers Daniel Martin and Tommy Allen assault a bystander trying to walk past a traffic stop Oct. 3 in Holdenville, OK.
After six weeks of paid leave, the troopers were excused for using excessive force by OHP’s Internal Affairs.
The attorney for Kristopher Douglas, the man beaten, called the OHP’s investigation a “dog-and-pony show” and “a sham,” and called Martin a menace.
Trooper Daniel Martin is best known for stopping an ambulance last July carrying a heart attack victim and choking a paramedic he felt did not show him respect. The YouTube video of that incident, captured on cell phone, was the second most watched YouTube video worldwide at the time.
That video is at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KluItc365hU
And OHP was eventually forced to release the dashcam video:
The troopers in this round claimed that Douglas confronted the troopers during the traffic stop of a worker’s vehicle they claimed didnt yield sufficiently at a stop sign, which took place in his uncle’s driveway where they were remodeling his house. The Troopers stated they felt threatened by Douglas as he tried to walk around the arrest scene, and that they thought he was drunk and on drugs.
As Douglas walks along the fence past the arrest, Trooper Martin leaves the arrest scene to confront Douglas, at one point leaping directly into Douglas’ path.
Allen, the second Trooper, walks over and grabs Douglas’s wrist. Allen would later say he felt threatened by Douglas when Douglas looked at the hand grabbing his wrist and then back at the trooper assaulting him.
At this point, Martin whips out a retractable baton, striking Douglas near the groin in the process, while Allen grabs Douglas by the neck in an attempt to take the man to the ground. As Douglas is complying with orders to put his hands behind his back, Martin strikes him again with the baton on his backside.
Douglas was arrested and charged with obstructing an officer, a misdemeanor. Douglas’ uncle, Jerry Ford, witnessed the arrest and said the troopers overreacted and used excessive force.
Six weeks after the incident, where the OHP failed to interview any non-OHP witnesses and kept the dash cam video secret, the state police agency declared the troopers were justified in their use of force against Douglas and called the arrest “cut and dried.”
Lt. Tim Tipton, the OHP’s training officer on the use of force, led reporters through an elaborate explanation on how police use force, often contradicting what the video showed with his narration.
He said if Douglas had followed the officers’ first command to get away from the traffic stop “this would have been over very quickly.”
Tipton said Martin’s use of the baton was appropriate and within standards used by police to subdue combative suspects.
The video shows Douglas’ hands to his side throughout the incident, and no physical signs of combativeness.
Douglas’ attorney, Richard O’Carroll of Tulsa, asked “Why not just let the gentleman walk by?”.
He also asked why some of the witnesses to the arrest were never called to testify during the OHP’s board hearing.
O’Carroll also is the attorney for Maurice White, the paramedic involved in the May 24 scuffle with Martin at Paden. White has filed a federal lawsuit against Martin.
OHP Trooper Union’s attorney Gary James of Oklahoma City, said Tipton explained the arrest well.
James has also been the subject of conflict of interest and Department of Public Service corruption investigations.

The largest commercial banks in the U.S. are ready to go all the way to the Supreme Court to block the public release of details pertaining to the Federal Reserves 2008 secretive $2 trillion bailout.
Bloomberg News reports that The Clearing House Association LLC, a group that includes Bank of America Corp. and JPMorgan Chase & Co., have teamed with the Fed to rally against a lawsuit, brought by Bloomberg itself, to disclose records of the Feds emergency lending.
The fight for disclosure has been ongoing following the Feds failure to comply with congressional demands for transparency.
The Fed has consistently refused to identify the recipients of almost $2 trillion of emergency loans from American taxpayers or the troubled assets the central bank accepted as collateral.
A New York District ruling last August declared that the destination of around $2 trillion dollars in bailout funds must be revealed after the Fed failed to convince the Judge that the records should be exempt from the Freedom of Information Act.
Citing the fact that the US taxpayer is an involuntary investor in the nations banks, Bloomberg argued that the risks behind the $2 trillion in lending needed to be made public.
Following more stalling, a further ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals in Manhattan on March 19 ordered the central bank to release the documents. The Fed once again argued that disclosure would be harmful to its independence, would stigmatize borrowers and discourage banks from seeking further emergency help.
Our member banks are very concerned about real-time disclosure of information that could cause a run on the banks, said Paul Saltzman, the group of banks general counsel, in an interview yesterday. Were not going to let the Second Circuit opinion stand without seeking a review.
If the appeal for a review is turned down, the bank group will then petition the Supreme Court, Saltzman added.
Banks incorporated by the New York-based Clearing House group also include Citigroup Inc., Bank of New York Mellon Corp., Deutsche Bank AG, HSBC Holdings Plc, PNC Financial Services Group Inc., UBS AG, U.S. Bancorp and Wells Fargo & Co.
The Fed Board of Governors refusal to disclose the names of borrowers renders public oversight of its actions impossible — it prevents any assessment of the effectiveness of the Boards actions and conceals any collusion, corruption, fraud or abuse that might have occurred, Bloomberg states in a letter to the appeals panel.
The amount of US taxpayer money committed to bailouts since 2007 is thought to be close to $25 trillion. The figures by far exceed the combined cost of major historical events, accounting for inflation, dating back over 200 years.
Taxpayers have been left completely in the dark as to who has received the money and what they are doing with it.
The public has watched in disbelief for close to eighteen months as Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke has arrogantly refused to state where any of the bailout money has gone, despite repeated questioning during Congressional and Senate hearings.
There is no accounting for the spending. The Federal Reserve, which is owned and run for the most part by European banking elites, has never been audited and is accountable to no one, as former chairman Alan Greenspan has explained:

Even though some of these images we’ve seen before, all are from the legal documents released March 5, 2009. The pictures clearly show Casey’s pre-jail lifestyle.
