Freedom Hating Brit Beaten up by US Cops for Crossing Road

Even though Banquo has a bit of a personnal stake in this I agree with him completely, though I am also fluent in "Upper Class Twit" admittedly a debased form, but I'm sure that also qualifies me for ridicule.

"Daddy went to Public School but I had to go to the local Comp because mother thought it would be good for me to mix with the lower orders."

German citizens know full well that German police have virtually NO rules governing the use of force. The reason why you don't hear (and constantly remark) about the lack of excessive use of force in that country is because it doesn't exist. While not as bad as a country like Russia, German police will break your nose to extract blood for a blood alcohol test if you don't voluntarily submit it. I thought you lived in Germany and knew this.




With due respect to our moderator, I'll refrain from making any additional harsh comments about the professor's statements.

Exactly, and this is why I believe my experience more than your horror stories, read what Ser Clegane said on the matter...

Heard it from the Horse's Mouth, Germans are not in-fact Blood Thirsty Barbarians... God, sometimes I wonder what century we're all really living in...

Would this be part of the horses mouth , as opposed to the horses rear end where Vlad got his information ?
. Article 1 (1) of the German Constitution states: The dignity of man shall be inviolable. To respect and protect it shall be the duty of all state authority. According to Article 2 (2), Everyone shall have the right to life and to inviolability of their person. For persons in official custody the protection afforded by Article 1 is clarified even further in section 104 (1) of the German Constitution which states that: Detained persons may not be subjected to mental or physical ill-treatment. Acts of torture and ill-treatment are also made criminal offences under section 340 of the German Criminal Code, entitled Bodily harm by public officials, which states: (1) Public officials who commit, or permit to be committed, bodily harm during the exercise of their duties or in connection with these, shall be punished by a period of imprisonment of between three months and five years. In less serious cases up to five years imprisonment or a fine shall be imposed."
