This YouTube video sparked a yearlong investigation. A disciplinary review board recommended a 32-hour or 4-day suspension.

So a 4 day punishment is adequate? And the asshole fights a 5 day punishment? They’re both unreasonable! That asshole needs to be fired. What he did could’ve given that girl brain damage.

Doesn’t it stand to reason that a cop should be held to a higher standard of justice than an ordinary guy like me?  Not lower?

apsychedelicdoomcult: futurebythepast: sushigoat: thesepostsarenotcoercive: ouch tbh i don’t know how far this argument will go. I means, Engels was an industrialist, Richard Owen was a capitalist etc. etc. it’s of course hilarious but not a good point.  Her rationale, as well as that of a lot of ancaps/libertarians, was that she should not feel any moral issues in receiving government assistance if they came about through taxation. Taxes were taken from her, she had no choice but to pay him, so she shouldn’t feel anything wrong about taking what is, in essence, rightfully owed to her. OH SNAP Viewing this as contradictory behavior is victim blaming.  The implication is that beneficiaries of government programs are the cause of the existence of government programs. The opposite is true.  Government programs are in the greatest danger when they’re being ubiquitously exploited, and they’re strongest when people continue to pay, but refuse to extract the benefits. Socialists who truly love medicare and want to show their deepest dedication should be turning it down even when they need it so there’s more for others.  Likewise, Ayn Rand would be a hypocrite if she turned down medicare.

Liberty Beat Podcast - Episode 15 - 2012-09-09

Sex, drugs, and ROCK AND ROLL! … okay, a little less of that last thing.  In fact, mostly a bunch of ranting and not much music at all.  But definitely a lot of sex and drug talk.  Enjoy!

Topics:

  • Banned Beverage
  • What age is best to try alcohol?  Is the ‘drinking age’ making things worse?
  • Rumspringa (Check out the documentary ‘Devil’s Playground’)
  • More on the drug war!
  • Mary Kay Letourneau; a story of love triumphing over persecution.
  • We bring up the libertarian hot button of animal rights.
  • What’s the purpose of justice?  To punish purpetrators, or to make victims whole again?
  • Jury Nullification
  • Modern slavery
  • Seasteading
  • Immigration.  What’s the deal with the American government trying to keep us Canadians out?
  • Medical smartphone apps, should they be regulated?  Most medical technologies are currently regulated, what’s the different?
  • J-walking, emergency vehicles, and stopping for the school bus.
  • Morals, do you have them?  What are they?  Is it about feelings?

Liberty Beat Podcast - Episode 14 - 2012-08-26

This week, Ethan Erkiletian, the other half of the Ed and Ethan podcast joins us to talk about all things past present and future as we give yet another liberty assessment of the world at large.

Visit edandethan.com to hear more from Ethan!

Topics:

  • Is the world moving toward freedom?
  • Someone gets kicked off a plane for wearing a shirt that mocks the TSA.
  • The reverse bull filter, and other boggling government wastes.
  • How do you define ‘child labor’?  When is it right; when is it wrong?
  • “Trade Agreements” is a nonsense euphemism.  The only thing they’re ‘agreeing’ to ‘trade’ is a restrictive law here, for a restrictive law there.
  • Intellectual property.. again!
  • Cellphone bans while driving, and how they do nothing but hurt.  (More basic logic lessons!)
  • Arbitrary enforcement, and pulling people over to ‘fish’.
  • How do we get from here, to there?
  • Pure, true democracy wouldn’t work.
  • The poor, the government, and liberty.  What is ‘The social safety net’ and would everyone starve and die in our world?
  • The drug war, and who’s to blame for all the violence?  Is it shameful to be a member of a drug gang?
  • “Foster Care” and how completely awful it is, and how everyone already knows that, and how it doesn’t seem to be changing.
