6/2/2011 1:01:12 AM Posted: 6 years ago What do you call this?
Woman is being beat by drunk boyfriend. Woman calls police. Police arrive. Drunk boyfriend attempts to attack cops. Cops defend themselves and remove man from home. Is this violating the non-aggression principle? In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen |

Just lying isn't fraud--you have to use deceit to take someone's property or hurt their person. Like, if I sold you a car, but I lied and said it worked when it didn't, that would be fraud, because I got your money by lying about what our exchange really was.

Well I don't care about the should. But it could have, but then it could be mistaken for a Dora or Barney episode. And that wasn't the purpose of the video. It attempts to sell an idea that seems great, and non-aggression is great, but by adding the cop it falsely portrays cops as being the aggressor when in reality humans are the aggressors. And this is true under any system in society. Smells like propaganda to me. Has anyone showed this to a child? I would be willing to bet a dollar to a donut that they would get the impression that cops are the aggressors. In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen |

6/2/2011 1:50:38 AM Posted: 6 years ago I read a debate where private security guards would be better then police.
Here is a video that shows a security guard acting just like a cop. http://www.youtube.com... This shows that it isn't a cop problem, it is a human problem. Under any system in society there will be aggressors. I'm al for the best system, I just haven't seen one that tops what we have now. What we have now is far from perfect dont get me wrong, but I haven't seen a viable alternative. In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen |

It is awful it came down to that. Actually I have had my arse whopped by cops before. I was the aggressor. Growing up the cops quickly learned I needed to be shackled head to toe. I'm just as good with my feet as I am with my hands. They figured out quickly it was best to discourage me from fighting. And they were right. I have and will use the same method Whrn defending myself. Your story reminds me of my brother-in-law. He had tried to commit suicide by cop three times. His picture has been sent to schools and other public places with a warning. I do pray that the cops can handle any given situation to the best of their abilities. In those three occasions they were able to talk him down. I doubt the will he has to actually force the move but I can't make a objective call on it because I wasn't there evertime. But I honestly can't see the situation being any different with an ancap version of security. In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen |

6/2/2011 2:12:25 AM Posted: 6 years ago Irrelevant conclusion. Cops are humans after all. I would be willing to bet a dollar to a donut that they would get the impression that cops are the aggressors.This cop is. In other media cops are frequently portrayed as retaliators, do you b**** about it then? The point of the video is well served by using government officials. It is, you see, a libertarian video, and people need to be reminded that government violence is violence too. A government, after all, is so well established as a monopoly on violence that people don't really think about it. Do they call the prison warden a slavedriver? No, but that's what he is, for good or ill. In the event the prisoner is guilty of violating a serious and just law I'm perfectly fine with him being a slave, but that's no reason to evade the fact of his slavery. It came to be at its height. It was commanded to command. It was a capital before its first stone was laid. It was a monument to the spirit of man. |

Security guards are humans. Private security forces are made up of humans. Any corporation is made up of humans. The friggin world is plum full of humans. I care what system you put in place people will still be aggressors. I don't understand the question.I would be willing to bet a dollar to a donut that they would get the impression that cops are the aggressors.This cop is. You dropped who was watching the video. The video portrays cops as the aggressors. If a child watched this she would think all coos are the aggressors. There not. That is why gave the scenario at the beginning. There are bad cops, there are also bad security guards.
So you concerned if the are called something or not? Is that it? Would there be no prisons in R_R land? In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen |

6/2/2011 2:33:40 AM Posted: 6 years ago Why do cops get a special pass from those of their number being portrayed as aggressors, especially when due to their jobs they are involved in aggression must more often than normal people?I don't understand the question.I would be willing to bet a dollar to a donut that they would get the impression that cops are the aggressors.This cop is. If a child watched police produced videos she would think "Jharry is on the internet, therefore Jharry wants to bad touch me." The point of the video is well served by using government officials.

In the event the prisoner is guilty of violating a serious and just law I'm perfectly fine with him being a slave, but that's no reason to evade the fact of his slavery. I'm not an ancap. Of course, there would be fewer prisons due to lack of drug laws, but there would be prisons. It came to be at its height. It was commanded to command.

That is there job. If I'm understanding what you said right. How go they get a special pass. I dont get it? Why would a security officer or what ever get a pass. Like the story tv gave me. I wasn't there so it's hard to comment. But I can tell you this. My son doesn't skate, but if he did and a kid started threating my son with a knife I would intervene. If the kid came at me with a knife he would catch three in the chest if I had to and I had the chance. Should I let the kid kill me? And then maybe my son? And yours? That is there job to step in harms way if I'm not there, or your not. Yes there are bad cops. And they are punished by the same laws they swore to uphold. It is the same under any system we put in place. If a child watched police produced videos she would think "Jharry is on the internet, therefore Jharry wants to bad touch me." Lol. It's ok if you have no relevant response. This video is propaganda intended to fraud the viewer into believing something that isn't true. The point of the video is well served by using government officials. It is, you see, a libertarian video, and people need to be reminded that government violence is violence too.

No, but that's what he is, for good or ill. In the event the prisoner is guilty of violating a serious and just law I'm perfectly fine with him being a slave, but that's no reason to evade the fact of his slavery. So they would still be slave drivers in R_R prisons? So what is your point? In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen |
