the officer shows great restraint not shooting the kid for filming in portrait mode. Such valor.

The cop was later asked to write an essay on exemplary policing for the Washington Post.

OK, so here's the thing: to all of you blaming Ward. No, he should not have been in the middle of track. He should have kept his cool. But how many times do we see drivers do exactly the same thing. Christ, Tony himself has done it during a NASCAR race. Also: "Hurrdurr black suit on dark track, Tony couldn't see him."…

Thanks for IMMEDIATELY proving how intellectually bankrupt your piss-poor argument is, Cletus. When in doubt, cover your ears and scream antisemitism, right?

Ohhhhhhh, I was wondering why you seemed so familiar, and then I looked at your comment history — it's because you're a GTer operating under a burner account. Fuck off, you coward.

Oh please, they couldn't possibly be any further removed unless they were us.

Israel has a draft - and they draft women.

Take a look at those pictures and try telling me they live in a warzone. Then try finding some luxurious selfies from the Palestinians getting carpetbombed.

My family are Israeli-Arabs. Thanks for the laugh about living in peace. I'm guessing you've never been to an Arab village in Israel before. They are treated like third class citizens. But, that is nothing compared to what is happening in Gaza. These racist morons are joining the army too? I pray for Palestine.

No. In amaerica, isreal is seen as heroic and palastine is depicted as evil. A story like this shows reality: Both sides are wrong.

Bacon has turned many a Jew.

The rhetoric may have changed slightly, but the conflict will continue until the U.S. stops supporting Israel at the U.N..

This is unsurprising. When some of the greatest power holders in the world support your cause, you tend to feel pretty fucking empowered to do and say whatever you want.

Weird, it's almost as though living in occupied territory and constantly suffering retaliatory overreaction strikes from your wealthy heavily militarized neighbor in reaction to a few assholes in your government shooting glorified fireworks at them will breed resentment somehow.

Death to these Zionist pigs.

"As a Jew, and as someone who has been raised to always support Israel (which, according to my parents, is my spiritual home, although I have never been)"

No wonder most Americans automatically side with Israel, we're both wealthy nations filled with shamelessly self-absorbed assholes so far removed from any conflict we enter that it's incredibly easy to cheerlead for atrocities. I wish I could even be surprised that Violent Nationalism Selfies are a thing, but I can't.

The brainwashing machine in Israel is strong and effective.
