UK Students face riot police

Tuition is going up in England, and students react to the news. Generally speaking, this isn't really the way to get your point across. Passive resistance is usually much better. When you act so emotional and out of control, the message gets lost. Of course, I think the majority of these kids were simply looking for a reason to get violent and weren't really so concerned with the issue at hand.

This video shows a fire extinguisher dropped towards riot police from the roof of the building. It sounds as if the crowd of spectators on the ground begins to chant "Stop throwing sh**!"

Big Brother has a new toy

The UK will be unleashing a new "tool" in law enforcement: a truck capable of catching motorists committing up to five crimes or breaches of law.

The truck can spot whether you are driving without your seat belt, tailgating, speeding, or driving without current tags or insurance. The information and pictures are relayed back to a home office using GPS coordinates.

Big Brother at its best.

Officers kill dog and leave note on door

Oakland police responded to a false alarm at a residence. While exploring the backyard, the officers were approached by what they've described as a barking and growling dog, and they did what any well-trained police officer would do, and shot the 11-year-old arthritic Lab dead. Then what would said well-trained and professional officers do? Why leave a note on the door, of course.
"Oakland police responded to your residence to investigate a burglar alarm," the handwritten note read. "While circling the rear perimeter, lab advanced on officers in a threatening manner before being shot and killed."
Yep. Oakland's finest in action.
