Well I just watched the new robin hood starring Russell Crowe, and I have seen a bit of controversy on what people think of the movie. I myself thought it was great. I thought the story was very believable and the characters were well played. I found myself actually feeling for the victims of the Tyranny, and getting a little pissed at the lies of the king. As I watched the movie it made me see some if the parrallels to the real world. Where men will follow orders often putting their job first before what they know to be right. I have seen this many times in my own life, and just as the sheriff of Nottingham in the movie was no great man, and knew what Robin had done for the village that he was a part of, he let his jealousy, and his job title steer him to become a villain. I see this happen many times in our very own police force. Men who may join for honorable reasons soon become brainwashed into the status quo of their job, and see people as guilty first. They stop treating men and women as citizens of this country, and look at them only has criminals and cattle to be herded. They stereo type men like bikers, and the like will do anything they can do to destroy their lives, and it truly doesn't matter if they are guilty of anything or not. So far in my short life I have seen already what damage an overzealous and unchecked police force can do. In the death of a friends brother, and the death of an aquaintance, both killed by police, both died in vain, and both families were given no justice, and the victims were painted in ways I know neither of them to be. I have also had two brothers of mine, arrested, one of thems life is ruined losing family, friends, career, all for nothing. All to justify a paycheck by our wonderful government, and the other is awaiting trial. The victim of a police force who has made a personal pledge to destroy this man, and his friends lives for no other reason than he wears a patch on his back. This man faces two felony charges for a fist fight in which no one went to the hospital. This man will be banned from factories, and government installations where he works as an electrician severely limiting his ability to support his family. He will be denied the right to vote, and his firearms privileges will be revoked all for a fist fight where no one was seriously injured, that was started by the people who are witnessing against him. Why? You might ask. Because he wears a patch and the guys who started the fight and picked it do not. They were questioned only as witnesses, and he was railroaded and judged guilty immediately while they went home. I know this is not much of a movie review, but it was a good movie, and I think that if a movie is good it will cause you to have feeling and emotion and this definitely has. I do not say fuck the cops because I do not believe we need a peace keeping force, or someone to protect the people. I say fuck the cops because while not everyone of them are bad, the system itself is corrupt, and they are the happy foot soldiers who never stop to think that what they are done is in opposition to the freedom that this country garauntees from the founding.
