  • Since any description of police going into riot situations usally includes a descriptor along the lines of "Jack-booted riot police...," I think that that'd be effective [rubberimpex.com].
    • Heh. I was hoping to find an icon of an officer beating someone on the ground, but alas google images couldn't find anything. I sure wish I could draw.
      • What I would like to see is female police officers beating these loser punks to the ground. Especially considering many of them grew up being taught by their fathers, male relatives, and male peers to not respect women... (according to several French friends of mine)

        But I guess being put in their place by women cops would only make them more angry... unrightfully so, but still...

    • Ahh now something like this [indymedia.org] is getting closer.....
  • Case in point: "paté fois gras" to "liver fat paste."

    • No no no no no, "paté de fois gras" means "fattened goose paste" (paste as in mush, not as in glue).

      • foie = liver
        oie = goose

        • Oh Dog, you're so right, and I'm so wrong bangs head on desk. Anyway, it's quite nice, if not entirely wholesome. Although I prefer veal to poultry liver paté, especially since when I eat it (at restaurants, as amuse-goeule) is not manufactured but hand-made, and it's healthy, too, because here (Argentina) all cattle is pasture-raised, not lot-feeded.

          Then again, we have a culture of eating entrails, so I understand you were grossed out by the idea of eating liver.

          Peace.

          • I'm not saying I'm grossed out by the product itself, just that the words "foie gras" are more aesthetically pleasing than the words "liver fat."
          • ..we have a culture of eating entrails..

            Here in New Mexico we call it menudo [vivacincodemayo.org], what is it there? Amazingly enough I have never tried it, but someday I will :-)

            • "Menudos" are, for us, the chicken entrails, and they're usually prepared with rice, I've never liked them, but again, I'm not fond of chicken (or of poultry in general for that matter). Cow's or bull's entrails intended for consumption are called "achuras". What's consumed is: the brains (seso, never tried it), the salivary glands (mollejas, love them) which usually translates to "sweetbread" but it's not the same; the tongue (lengua, love it), the heart (corazón, never tried it), the lungs (bofe, n

  • ...is a really Really REALLY stupid thing. Especially if you thought the cops were "out to get you", it makes much more sense to move TOWARDS the nearest open space filled with other people, then stand still and force them to politely nab you by the book.

    I think citizens of western countries would all be safer if fleeing the police were an arrestable misdemeanor, punishable by 1 night in jail plus full responsibility for any damages caused by the chase.
