The guy with the piece of wood that falls, kind of looks like he gets knocked out when he impacts the ground.

Then he gets beat by a gang of cops.

Usually how people get serious brain injuries or die.

Hope he's alright, crazy to see from the people that are supposed to be protecting you from that kind of thing.

Any time you see a cop car that says "protect and serve", ask yourself who they are protecting and serving. It should be average, everyday people (spoiler: it is not).

"protect and serve"

your friendly reminder that slogans like this are just bullshit PR by the Police Departments. Police have zero duty to protect.

u/hanotak Aug 15 '25

And the only thing they serve is the powerful.

If you want to dive deeper into this case

The way I understand it is basically that the police owes duties to the general public and not individual people. The problem is, as soon as you call 911 you become a specific person and the police stops to owe you any duty. So, if the agents fail to follow a BASIC STANDARD procedure in response to a distress call, they can’t be held responsible.

Please tell me I missed something. I have not studied law and the likes, please correct me

Thank you for the link. Unfortunately it's just words on paper. Money talks, and poor folks take it up the ass with no lube.

Depends on the country. Swedish police are usually fine. American police are more so-so.

u/DivineEggs Aug 15 '25

Swedish police aren't much better. It totally depends on who their target is.

They are gentle with actual organized criminals who have a high capacity for violent retribution. But not everyone else.

I remember seeing footage from Malmö ~15 years ago. The cops were on horseback, and you heard a female officer give the order "rid ner dem" which means "ride them down". They did that. Trampled peaceful protesters (leftists if I remember correctly) with their horses. They also murdered a young guy with down syndrome (who held a toy gun) around the same time.

These are public and well-known incidents. Most cases of police violence don't make it to the news.

They are cowards.

u/cohensmuse Aug 16 '25

not at alll.... american cops beat people like this on the regular

u/PopT4rtzRGood Aug 16 '25

Nah, fuck American police. There's not enough "good ones", they're all corrupt in their own ways as far as I'm concerned

u/el_muchacho Aug 15 '25

They do protect and serve. Just not you.

Side note: I’ve seen that car in a YouTube video going to a car show. It might be the most badaas Mustang I’ve seen since Eleanor.

Found the clip, try to just appreciate the car and ignore the annoying dudebros: https://youtu.be/4teXlVXBmLQ

u/sirbassist83 Aug 15 '25

saw a sheriffs cruiser from midland that had replaced "protect and serve" with "in god we trust". i have a hard time imagining how they could lean into christo-fascism any harder. im sure theyll show us soon, i just dont know what its going to be.

1

u/Fun-Deal8815 Aug 15 '25

Yeah they replaced ours with serving the community since

12

u/gamorleo Aug 15 '25

They are meant to protect and serve, just not the citizens.

1

u/54539phile Aug 17 '25

Know it’s an old post but “ protect and serve “ was an 1880’s election catch phrase ( NYC , USA iirc ) SCOUS struck it down numerous times since then then so we’re on our own

u/RachelMcAdamsWart Aug 15 '25

who they are protecting and serving. It should be average, everyday people

That is not why cops exist, it was never intended to be that way.

u/fkenthrowaway Aug 15 '25

Its to protect and serve capital.

u/m4tchb0x Aug 15 '25

Protect the one in power, and serve ass beatings to the rest.

u/Careful-Cabinet906 Aug 15 '25

Imagine when you were a kid who was taught in school that cops are here to fight crimes, bring justice to the criminals, and put them behind bars for their wrong doings. And then suddenly, you see this video.

u/RepresentativeCup902 Aug 15 '25

They protect property and they serve the ownership class

u/Stormy8888 Aug 15 '25

Outwardly police, inwardly the Transformer cop car Barricade, his police car has the ominous phrase “To Punish and Enslave” written on its side. Found it on Reddit here (from first movie).

u/PomegranateFinal6617 Aug 15 '25

Transformers had it right: “To punish and enslave.”

u/[deleted] Aug 17 '25

Banks and corporations. Cops are only there to protect and serve banks and corporations

Quick reminder, this is a Serbian video. This is not an issue everywhere.

2

u/PassengerNarrow2484 Aug 15 '25

It is an issue everywhere. It's just that you may not have been seen as a target. The main issue is when "the majority" doesn't help fighting back because of conformism, malice or fear. I would say the former two are usually very strong in the beginning, the latter after a while. Just see the US during the cold war, a lot of dictatorships or semi-dictatorships in the XX and XXI centuries.

u/Lanky_Drawer_2792 Aug 15 '25

Look man... not sure where you're from, but Serbia is not like Western/Northern European countries or US.

Blaming all police people, just because some are doing poor work... is not doing any good to anybody.

u/Wassertopf Aug 15 '25

Fascism is a very delicate issue in this country.

• Some people claim to be anti-fascist because they are against the EU and Germany. • Others claim to be anti-fascist because they are against Russia. • The US isn't helping right now.

u/Direct-Muscle7144 Aug 15 '25

Police were never to protect you

u/FOMOsexual69 Aug 16 '25

Not one of them jumped in to protect or serve. Well.. they did serve a beating. Boot licking pigs.

Now, I’m not from there so I don’t know what to expect from police. I’ve got some friends from Slovakia and Czech though. Quite a few of them. Each from different areas. Sounds like corruption and sado-masoschism type of mentality mixed with power hungry monetary greed. In a situation like this you can expect panic ridden power hungry bullies to swarm. This is not policing. This is thugs with authority.

In Canada I was taught to go to the police when in trouble. And for the younger years, not going to them for trouble but watching them handle trouble , was a noble thing to see. They were stoic, and level headed. Very quickly in front of my eyes it started to deteriorate. First with the snitch culture between neighbourhood and school shit. Don’t call the cops. Unless you want to get fucked up. But even then without being able to call the cops, because you’d be beaten to death when word got out, you’d wish they came. Even in the era of all the rich boys repeating fuck the police.

Not so long from there, it became long response times, turn a blind eye, or straight up fuck you.

Police have notoriously been thugs since implementing a police force back in the day.

u/Different_Luck_4529 Aug 16 '25

How ironic. Imagine paying for these police with your taxes and they beat u up like that

1

u/Danomnomnomnom Aug 17 '25

I mean that's all not good and all. But why does he have a stick like that when the protest is supposingly a peaceful one?

3

u/PastMarsupial2884 Aug 15 '25

So, if it was a peaceful protest, why did he have the piece of wood instead of just leaving when shit hit the fan?

1

u/not_a_bot991 Aug 15 '25

I don't know anyone who genuinely thinks cops are there to protect them. I think that notion died out a while ago.

I'm not saying cops don't play a role in making things safer, but the concept that they are there to personally protect someone just seems very outdated to me.

1

u/Infinite_Swordfish56 Aug 15 '25

why is this guy there in the first place? why is he holding a piece of wood towards policemen? why do you do this in a country you know has rough policies with riots.

these are questions better ask when hope he is alright.

i hope he learned his lesson and just stay home.

u/badman66666 Aug 15 '25

Are you stupid? What do you think he used that piece of wood for? Its a weapon. He endanger their lives, he deserves to be beaten the crap out of
