I watched some crusty get tased around the corner from my house late Halloween night. Like 400 to 500 people gathered on this dude’s front lawn and street, some were there for The Fest and some were celebrating Halloween. Shortly after the kid’s street was completely blocked off with drunk, dancing people, the fuzz showed up to put everybody in check. This guy in silver short-shorts, who also happens to be my co-worker, was drunk as shit and refused to move. He started to get arrested until some crusty stepped in and tried swinging on the cop. Long story short, the crusty and cop rolled around while the cop tased the shit out of him. For like 20 seconds or so, a mob of people kicked, punched and threw shit at the cop (who was by himself) while they wrestled around. Luckily, some bystanders who weren’t complete jackasses stepped in quick enough to save the cop from getting his head kicked in long enough for an army of backup to show up and scare everybody off with the threat of much deserved head bashings.
You know, a certain part of me loved the fact that the dude did what he did and made the night extremely memorable — I mean, who the fuck gets to see a cop tase somebody and then get attacked by an angry mob? It was fucking intense — definitely not a riot like some douches were saying, but damn near close to one.
The real me though sees the tasing as justified, but not the attack on the cop — not by a longshot. I mean, DUH. Messing with a cop like that is stupid, pointless, and dangerous as shit. You think I want to get accidentally shot by a panicked cop on Hallo-FUCKING-ween because some crusty kid’s rich parent’s lawyer has him feeling ballsy? Fuck that.
My friend in the silver short-shorts got away.
The first video is my friend almost getting arrested. The second one leaves off right after the first from a different person’s camera. It details the scuffle and then it’s like 3.5 minutes of sirens and people standing around.

Dear Randy,
You can’t help but root for the cop when dumb ass kids are randomly shouting “free health care for everyone” (what?) and “if any brutality goes down, I got it on film” (it’s one cop against a mob) and “they’re going to start shooting rubber bullets” (ugh). Seriously, that wasn’t some fucking protest rally being violently suppressed. Those assholes were blocking the street. The cops should’ve teargassed the lot of them. It’s what the crowd wanted anyway, you know, so they could feel like they were fighting “the man” or whatever.

Being straight edge as a kid is a great way to rebel against: puking, getting pregnant, and wrapping your parent’s car around a tree.

what kind of retarded egomaniac tries to subdue a crowd of hundreds by himself? those kids certainly sound like a bunch of idiots, but that cop has them beat hands down for sheer stupidity. how ’bout waiting for some backup, dirty harry. fuck i hate cops.

Then they all went home and jerked off to news footage of Tian’anmen Square. Just kidding, they can’t afford the webernet.

I don’t like cops, but the kids are the bigger assholes here, for sure.
11.09.09 at 10:48 am
We all taste the same.
11.09.09 at 12:47 pm
@Reginald absolutely dude.
I’m all for putting asshole cops in their place but these kids are fucking stupid. Guy was just doing his job and they were absolutely in the wrong.
11.09.09 at 12:55 pm
who gives a shit. this happens all the time. people think cops are dickheads, cops think people are assholes, motherfuckers get tased. its bound to happen when you got a crowd full of drunk duchebags and power hungry cops. this footage is shakey and sucks. it would have been worth it if the dude carrying the camera got taken down hard and was raped with a baton. maybe then youd learn not to stick around when cops are on the scene. avoid cops at all costs is the bottom line. this is true whether you live by the law or outside of it.

Any tasing against a crust punk hippie is justified.
11.09.09 at 1:44 pm
everyone was there to see a blink 182 cover band. no joke. fuck all of them.
11.09.09 at 2:40 pm
They should have beat him with cattle prods then shot him in the face with a missile launcher and a grenade launcher at the same time.
That would have been justified.
11.09.09 at 3:00 pm
I hate white people.

The Fest really is the worst shit ever. Fucking No Idea “gruff” punk bands.. terrible nonsense. Insub Fest, on the other hand, is great.

this is really dorky one time when I was a young crustie I was at a protest thing in portland it was pretty serious some black blockers had pulled some cops off there motor cycles and beat them with bats so the cops where justifiably pissed anyway I was trying to get away from the line of riot cops and get out of the city and we where coming up on a known jock bar anyway a bunch of jocks are in drinking and hear all the noise so they come out and start walking towards us so we think we are totally trapped then they walk right passed us and start fighting the cops it was really fucking weird but helped my ass get away thanks jocks

I heard the author pisses his pants every time he gets drunk.
No, forreal.
11.11.09 at 1:26 pm
Maybe it’s just me but I love to see a police officer that I have no emotional link to get fucking beat up.
UP THE PUNX.
