Protest to Stop Police Brutality, Repression and the Criminalization of a Generation

Pot Calling Kettle "Ignorant Asshole"
by mike Monday, Oct. 03, 2005 at 9:02 AM

Big Al, you've GOTTA be a cop wasting everyone's time by harrassing indymedia. You sure talk and sound as moronic as a cop would (same ignorant logic).

I have personally witnessed countless examples of police brutality. Not against drug dealers or any other cartoon-like criminals as you portray, either. I have also personally experienced police brutality on numerous occasions, including just last week when a cop threatened to break my arm for legally passing out flyers on a public sidewalk. "You're going to arrest me?" I asked. "No, you don't listen. I said I was gonna break your fucking arm", he answered before grabbing me an shoving me into the middle of Ontario Blvd during lunch rush traffic. This happened several times. The cop's partner, a stereotypical "nice cop", didn't personally attack me, but sure as fuck didn't do anything to stop the assault.

Of course, if (like any other humyn being) I would have pushed the cop back, I would have been arrested and charged with felony assault on a police officer (even though it's technically legal to resist a cop who is acting illegally).

You, Big Al, are the ignorant asshole. You're either a well-off white man or a shithole cop killiing time. Either way, you have no fucking idea what you're talking about. If you wanna hear more REAL stories of cops attacking normal, law-abiding people, come to the rally.

Everyone knows that a good number of cops are corrupt. Even if that number is only 10%, that still leaves 90% of cops that KNOW about the corruption and DON'T DO A DAMN THING ABOUT IT. In legal talk, that's called "aiding and abetting", and they should ALL be put away.

People are moving out of Cleveland because they're sick of trash like yourself infesting our city. Get a clue.

Now I Remember!!
by mike Monday, Oct. 03, 2005 at 4:53 PM

Big Al....I knew I remembered you from somewhere. Big Al, everyone, is a blatant liar who was called out about a year ago. He criticized our CMHA articles, claiming HE is a CMHA resident. I asked him repeatedly for his email or phone number for an interview. He refused to set up an interview or provide ANY way to validate his identity.

In the same string, Big Al also had "blind" support for CMHA police and police in general. Gee, think Big Al is really a lying cop impersonating average Clevelanders?

Read it for yourselves:

Big Al, you are a troll, a liar, and a coward.
