Punishment Park (Film)

[anex]

(1971)

"Punishment Park" is a pseudo-documentary purporting to be a film crews's news coverage of the team of soldiers escorting a group of hippies, draft dodgers, and anti-establishment types across the desert in a type of capture the flag game. The soldiers vow not to interfere with the rebels' progress and merely shepherd them along to their destination. At that point, having obtained their goal, they will be released. The film crew's coverage is meant to insure that the military's intentions are honorable. As the representatives of the 60's counter-culture get nearer to passing this arbitrary test, the soldiers become increasingly hostile, attempting to force the hippies out of their pacifist behavior.

I just got done watching this and thought it was a fantastic film. Some of you might find this film boring, but the point of the film is about police brutality and brainwashed hypocrites who would intentionally turn against a fellow American for conflicting beliefs. To me it is remarkable in present day America, stuff like this happens. Anti-war protesters portrayed as "anti-American" "anti-establishment "hippies" "druggies." This is a fictional story but events in this film are being applied in real world scenarios, such as courtrooms and police officers who think that they are above the law.

This film really made me think and I hope you guys become more consciously aware rather than the ignorant bystander who thinks that this could never happen in America.

There is no such thing as police brutality.

Ya, theres no such thing.

This what happens when people don't comply to commands given by a law enforcement officer. Steps to avoiding a ass whippin' is simple.
Liberal scum are always trying to make a quick buck on the same people who protect them from the scum of society.

So because someone didn't listen to an officer, that gives that officer the right to point a gun at them and threaten to shoot, beat them with a riot stick, or shoot them with a tazer?

If you think there is no such thing as Police Brutality, then you fail at history and observing the world around you.. :[

Edit: Those "Liberal Scum" are people trying to get America into the 21st century. But hey, if you want to believe that we are trying to make a "quick buck" after suing police departments for unlawful assaults on citizens, then I guess that makes us horrible people. God I am glad I do not live in New York.

How about being in the shoes of a law enforcement officer and work for a few years and see if you feel the same as before.
You don't know anything until your out there risking your life every single day you put on that uniform.
As for now go march with your gay pink anti-cop banners.

Anti-cop? Oh now your just putting words in my mouth. I'm not against Cops. I am against the actions that they display. I do not care if you risk your life everyday, that does NOT give you the right to hurt innocent civilians and trample over their rights as Americans.

If you had better comprehension skills, maybe you would have been able to infer that... but hey, who really cares right?

Judging from a guy who praises alcohol....ummm yeah.

What does my drinking on the weekends have to do with what we are talking about?
