   FTR, Marxists fight _against_ mystification; they are pro-revolution and anti-classist.

   Here is the full clip from the Palm Beach Post, its the full unedited clip – dont click this if you get easily upset. Listen carefully for ‘Shes got blood’ followed by any lack of help or remorse.

   A quote from one of the officers – ‘Its over and done with, we have been tased before, we know its not that bad.’ Compare the size of the overweight police officers with the much smaller size of the women – does this affect the level of pain suffered? She is only a small woman compared to these men.
   
   The discussion board on the Palm Beach Post explains a lot about peoples attitudes:

   • I’D HAVE TASED HER TOO!!!
   • White Priviledge
   • Tasering was 100% justified
   • GREAT JOB POLICEMAN
   • she should have listened
   • She deserved it period…

   Wasn;t one of the reasons for the Iraq War because the government was torturing its citizens? All holidays to the US are now cancelled. Madge – get out while you can.

   Thanks for playing that clip, madge.

   We heard that clip on democracy now, too, and it’s enraging.

   Sadism, insanity, abuse of power, god-complex.
   That about sums it up.

   Anyhow, we’re diggin the podcast. Continue to bring things like this up, it’s the only way to overcome this regime.

   I’m trying to show this video to as many people as possible. It is so damn disturbing that I don’t know whether I want cry or vomit. The more people outraged by this the better. I just don’t know why we haven’t seen this until now! It happened a year ago. Thank you for letting us know, Madge.

   Too often people only give themselves two options for outrage: 1) become political extremist or 2) avoid politics completely.

    What happened to the media? During the Vietnam war they were all over the damn place and played a huge part in changing public opinion leading to the end of that war, but where are they now?

    That taser clip looked like a cartoon compared to a British documentary i saw a few weeks ago. They took four people and exposed them to the same conditions as the prisoners at Guantanomo Bay. Read more about it here
