See, I thought the kids were being genuine when they said they couldn't hear him and just called him 'dude' on accident--that's just the way they normally address everyone and I'm sure it accidently slipped out and didn't mean it in an offensive way. I didn't see how those kids were in the wrong...at all. The cop is a jackass on a power trip who needs to be put in his place. Personally, if i were those kids, I would have laughed in his face. Badge or no badge, you can't demand respect from someone when they're clearly abusing their "power".
Eh, I thought this at first, but then I realized that the one kid was being purposely evasive and defensive, focusing more on making excuses for his "cool" ass than actually directly and respectfully addressing the officer. The cop didn't come barging in, yelling; he told them very clearly and calmly that they couldn't ride there, but due to the little brat, had to use some force. I'm not saying he didn't have an extra righteous streak to him; I just think that the kid incited the reaction.

I can understand being a little unnerved, but look at how that one kid handled it. He was aware and respectful, approaching the cop and telling him what happened with his friend, and also urging his friend to be smart about the situation. There is a difference between nervousness and disrespect.

If someone...anyone...came at me the way that cop did, I'd be extremely defensive. I immediately got the impression the cop was just looking for anything to get his frustrations out. The kids had to be somewhat scared. I mean, wtf..they're just riding their skateboards and all of a sudden this asshole appears out of nowhere barking orders. You wan't respect, you have to give respect, it's a two way street. Just because you're a cop doesn't mean you treat people like that. Slamming a 15? year old to the ground? Wow. I hope he feels powerful after that one.

What? Are you claiming to have a specific manner in which you would have handled it? Regardless, that says nothing about how the kid acted. There was a clear difference. The first kid came up and addressed the cop, while the second got defensive.
Yeah, some power-hungry ****** jumped to a conclusion about my driving and wrestled me up against my car. What was I supposed to do? Debate him as he slapped the cuffs on? This has nothing to do with "confidence" in handling "ESTj cops"; it's about watching a video and assessing the situation. Your logic is abjectly laughable.I recall you not being able to handle ESTj cops before, what makes you so confident now? Christ, just shut up already.

Whatever, go ahead and respect authority even if the authority doesn't give a shit about you. Offer him sexual favors too, while you're at it.
That story gets exaggerated to a new level each time you tell it. My God, get over yourself already.
Pretty much.

You respect authority if they're just doing their job. The kids weren't supposed to skate there, which is why he approached them. The issue began when the kid was ignoring him with his headphones, not because some jerk-off came over barking orders. It has nothing to do with blind deference; it's logical and ends the situation quickly. They were in the wrong, so they should have acknowledged that and skated somewhere else.
No, it doesn't, and if I recall, I only told you a general summary.That story gets elbaborated to an additional level each time you tell it.
From the volume and tone of your recent posts towards me, I'd say you need to get over me. Now shut the fuck up and don't respond to me unless it's a real debate; take your personal vendettas out somewhere else. You look pathetic.My God, get over yourself already.

Don't you dare respond to this post. I'm sick of dealing with you. Put me on ignore. Do something to take away that sick temptation you can't seem to resist. Just leave me alone, already.

This is absurd, and it's exactly what I expected from Allie -- a public emotional spiel aimed at garnering public support in order to belittle me and get me banned.

It's good that they have this taped. They should use it in every possible way against him imo, try to bring him to court if possible.

Wow, I don't see where you're getting the "brat" impression. The kid said quietly he couldn't hear him. So what. The kid doesn't have a "place". That's fucking disgusting. The rules say the kid's not supposed to skateboard on the sidewalk or wherever. The rules don't say the kid has a "place" he needs to know. The cop doesn't have the right to exercise power over anything except what's in his domain. He doesn't have any right to teach anyone "manners". His job is lawkeeping. Jesus christ this is like someone being arrested on "morals" charges. The cop is right - he's not the kid's father. So it's not his job to chew him out on "manners" or "shutting up and knowing his place". That's an abuse of power.I watched the beginning portion again, to make sure I didn't miss any details, and wow. The one kid was respectful, getting his friend to take the headphones out. The cop was simply telling them not to skate there, and the kid -- "whatt?? yea..." -- responding like a little brat. The cop was right to tell him not to get defensive. "I know... I couldn't hear you" -- ugh, even more fucking attitude. The kid is a punk who doesn't understand his place. So, the cop was correct again to tell him not to get defensive because "he's not his father," which I think should send a good message. "I don't have a father" -- UGH. Fucking disgusting.
The kid did acknowledge he understood, he said "Ok, I didn't hear you before".
He did respond to the officer directly. He just wasn't yelling his ass off. And why should he be?
No, he didn't have to do anything. He was yelling at the kid for some twisted power trip.The cop didn't come barging in, yelling; he told them very clearly and calmly that they couldn't ride there, but due to the little brat, had to use some force. I'm not saying he didn't have an extra righteous streak to him; I just think that the kid incited the reaction.
The cop is not a preacher. The cop is not his father. The cop has no legitimate use of power. He was given authority by the US goverment for a reason, to keep order on the street. If you watch the video it's obvious he's not keeping order. Instead he's provoking hostility and deliberately abusing his authority to go batshit on nervous 14 year olds because it makes him feel better. There is nothing "logical" in submitting to authority if the figure in question does not deserve it. There is nothing "logical" in "not making a scene" and letting the cop bathe in his power fantasies.
Seems to me this cops is just an asshole all around. I don't really think it's indicative of something significant with relation to type.
As for the kid, I think at first he was probably ignoring the cop and trying to be tough for his pals, but when he realized the cop was having a spaz he probably backed off and realized that shit was going to hit the fan.

Very busy with work. Only kind of around.
lol, even an idiot can see that being insidious is the last thing on her mind. But why am I not surprised you can't tell the difference?
I never expected that you would be so underhanded and insidious. You're really good at this game, Nick. Well done.And I expected you to come in with some support. Well done, Amanda.
Well, the underhanded crap she pulled with mcnew was insidious. There was absolutely no reason to get me banned ("threats" wtf?). Oh, and the incessant, subtle insults in threads were obviously all attempts to get an opportunity like the one I just gave her to spew her emotions all over in the hopes of publicly belittling me. I think you'd be surprised at how many people disagree with you about her motives, but why am I not surprised that you don't get that?
What game is this? Talking to mods to get people banned and baiting them with mockery? You've lost me.I never expected that you would be so underhanded and insidious. You're really good at this game, Nick. Well done.

You gave her an opportunity? wtf. It's not a fucking game for Allie. She hasn't been public about this at all. Why should she? Wow, it's fucked up that she's forced to publicize to the forum that this creepy fuck that won't stop bothering her is making himself look like a wounded paragon in order to paint her as some hysterical bitch.
The number of people who agree with something doesn't mean shit unless it's true. If I think someone is a shithead I'll disagree with them till kingdom come, regardless of how much of a following they can dredge up for their pathetic cause. You were always intrigued with getting the blind masses to follow you, weren't you? How you need to get the masses support to get power.I think you'd be surprised at how many people disagree with you about her motives, but why am I not surprised that you don't get that?

Angry comment are bait to you? What the hell. She's fucking upset. It's not some political cause like it is for you.and baiting them with mockery? You've lost me.
I'm not trying to be some paragon; her actions speak for themselves. And she has been public. Just two days ago she wrote a long spiel like this one on my wiki page after I responded to a baseless criticism of my user list. So cut the shit, you're not fooling me.

Give me a break, she's obviously been crusading against me since I got back. Stop making her seem so noble.Angry comment are bait to you? What the hell. She's fucking upset. It's not some political cause like it is for you.

Fooling you. Nobody's trying to fucking fool you. They're being as straight with you as they know how, and you're still screaming "manipulation crusade belittling" like making you lose face in public is an end in itself and not simply a side effect of trying to get through to your thick skull.
Crusading? Give me a break. She's not noble. I never said she was. But she is sick and tired of putting up with your shit for so long. She's tried to make that clear time and time again, but you never seem to get it. Her actions speak for themselves, but apparently you're deaf.Give me a break, she's obviously been crusading against me since I got back. Stop making her seem so noble.
No, I was just pointing out that your and her facades don't fool me. Simple.
She's no victim, believe me. I've met girls like her in the past, and the strategy they use is very simple and highly effective. I believe you commented on this to me in the days after she had cut me off.Crusading? Give me a break. She's not noble. I never said she was.

...the human race will disappear. Other races will appear and disappear in turn. The sky will become icy and void, pierced by the feeble light of half-dead stars. Which will also disappear. Everything will disappear. And what human beings do is just as free of sense as the free motion of elementary particles. Good, evil, morality, feelings? Pure 'Victorian fictions'.

about the original video. yes, the guy is acting like an ass. an interesting thing, for me, is that he VIs just like my drywall guy, whom i got along great with and thought was an ESTj. nice, straightforward, down to earth, into football. i ask lots of questions and he enjoyed answering them and teaching me about everything they were doing. he gave me hints about painting the kitchen. hubby and he talked ball for hours, they are both dolphin fanatics.
In case anyone was wondering, I didn't "type" the kid as INFp or the dad as ESTj, particularly. It's a music video and they are on screen for a little bit. It was somewhat of a lighthearted suggestion as to what an INFp (or perhaps beta NF) would think about in terms of rebelling against the negatives of their opposing quadra, etc.
I'm not trying to VI anyone or make a claim for people's types further than that.
