Since this video has been getting so many views, and ppl have been asking the same questions, I figured Id explain a couple things here.
This video was sent to me by someone on facebook. I dont know who the guy is, what the aftermath was, or which crossing this was at.
Im noticing something from all the comments tho. For the most part, it seems like the ppl who have the menatality that „everything is OK“, that the war on terror is real, that osama brought the towers down, that terrorists hate us for our ‘freedoms’ and are hell bent on destroying us all… you know, that whole false paradigm way of thinking.. these people for the most part have this attitude that the guy got what he deserved; that he shouldve just stfu, sat down, and complied.
I have a problem with that tho, and thats mainly because these agencies, these ppl, these govt’s, are supposed to work for us, the people. Not the other way around. This guys job is not to treat other humans like dogs. They are not there to treat us all like potential criminals, like pieces of shit that have no rights, and should feel privilidged to even be able to travel to the US. It isnt to act like complete dicks, trying to get a reaction… which is exactly what went on here. That cop was looking for this reaction, and escalated it from the second the interview started.
Just because this guy gave them a little attitude back, they couldnt take that, so they got pissed off and arrested him. and to make matters worse they tell him moving away from a cop is assult. WTF.
Is this not fascism? This is like nazi germany.. show me your papers…
The guy sounded to me like someone whos been throiugh this whole song n dance before, and got aggitated because he knew the nonsense he was about to go through.
So why is it that the cop can give this guy attitude, but this guy cant give it right back. People seem to think cops or anyone with a badge is some how above us, and we must do exactly as they say. But in reality these ppl are paid by tax dollars; they are here for us. So for them to turn around and act like this, is inexcusable.
This guy had every right to give a little attitude back to those pricks. How about starting the conversation off with hello fellow human, how are you? instead they set the tone by asking rapid fire questions, giving the guy no time to answer the questions.. and as soon as the guy gives a little attitude back, the cop hates that, because its undermining his power… and thats why 90% of these guys took the job afterall… because theyre power tripping bullies.
Soon as some guy takes away their upperhand or lets them know theyre not gonne bend over, this infuriates them. And thats what we see here.
They arrest the guy for talking back. He didnt do anything illegal, he didnt break the law. The cops could easily have said fuck off buddy go home, youre not getting in to this country with that attitude. Instead they just wanted to arrest him and get him in jail. Because who do you think you are, talking back to a border cop.
Moral of the story is fuck these bullies and fuck the over reaching govt, both in the US and in Canada (mind you our shitty policies are a result of the US telling our govt what to do and how to act, under the guise of this bs ‘war on terror’.
Everyones being fooled by this false pretense nonsense since 9/11.
It wasnt the arabs, stupid!
That guy was deliberately being an ass. He pretty much forced their hand.
I was in a similar situation myself a few years ago. Visited the States on a long weekend pleasure drive to destinations unknown.
The high point came when the border officers asked me to open the trunk of the car. It was a GM Chevy „rental vehicle“ (which they knew) but I didn’t know where the automatic trunk button was located. After fumbling around in vain for a few minutes and having acquired an audience of the officer’s colleagues I started to get out of the car and open the trunk with the key. …
Apparently that was a „No , no“. ….
I handed the officer the key through the window and said „Why don’t you do it for me because I don’t know how else to get it done!“
😀
This guy might have been a ass and all that. But he does react normally when he gets threatened by the border controls officials. But they are also behaving like a ass. It can clearly be heard. But what most interest me is that this guys seems to lack the training in human interaction when people go under pressure. As can happen at border points. The comment about „three terrorist a day“ is also funny, since it is a total lie.
In Europe we don’t have to deal with this nonsense (expect for few countries*) as all borders inside EU are now border control officials free and have been for few years now. All you get when you go into a new country in Europe is a sign that says what Country you are entering and other useful information. See more here, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schengen_Area
* The other countries being UK, Ireland, Romania (Schengen later), Bulgaria (Schengen later), Lichtenstein (Schengen later, but open borders I think).
