Also, the "interviewer" did absolutely nothing wrong. The guy seriously just needed to grow up, answer their questions and get on with his day, you're not going to win. Having had a couple jobs in my life, i know that the reality is you adopt the personality that your job requires. Their job requires them to take everything extremely seriously and so they do. | ||

He got an attitude to start with by questioning the worth of the officer's question. And the nervous laugh to go with it. I mean, I don't know if it's reasonable to expect the officer was just annoyed or if he felt that there was actually some suspicion there for avoiding the question. Maybe a little of both. The guy was also acting like he was special. Apparently, they should use bias in his favor. He is different, but they don't know it yet, so he should get let out anyway. He doesn't seem like a criminal. But I can't condone the actions of the officers either, and who can say that even if he answered the better way by just saying "I'm just going to browse around," or "I'm not really sure what exact stores there are," or whatever that the officer would've let them on? I don't know. It's not clear black-and-white to me. On the one hand, the officer has no prior info on the guy, so he has to take anything not a clean answer to his questions as a bit suspicious but could also be letting emotion overtake judgment when it shouldn't. On the other hand, you have a guy who is just provoking and essentially derailing anything the officers say, but he could also be nervous too and had a lapse in judgment as a result. Although the uploader of the video seems to believe the tape was done to prove a point. If so, then it's biased and null as far as I'm concerned. | ||

It's almost like the officers had some sort of bring-in-to-interview or arrests quota. When the officers all started screaming 'Are you threatening me?', 'Was that a threat?', 'That was a threat'. It seemed total BS and just about gave me an aneurysm. | ||

I know they are talking about terrorist crap, but drugs is also a big deal in every crossing... | ||

I just laughed at the end of this cause the guy got what he deserved. Hahaha, taking a step back and looking at it like this is pretty great. | ||

Edit: I've listened through twice for the supposed "threats" that were recorded; but maybe I am missing something because I wasn't able to hear any threats. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Since this video has been getting so many views, and ppl have been asking the same questions, I figured Id explain a couple things here. This video was sent to me by someone on facebook. I dont know who the guy is, what the aftermath was, or which crossing this was at. Im noticing something from all the comments tho. For the most part, it seems like the ppl who have the menatality that "everything is OK", that the war on terror is real, that osama brought the towers down, that terrorists hate us for our 'freedoms' and are hell bent on destroying us all... you know, that whole false paradigm way of thinking.. these people for the most part have this attitude that the guy got what he deserved; that he shouldve just stfu, sat down, and complied. I have a problem with that tho, and thats mainly because these agencies, these ppl, these govt's, are supposed to work for us, the people. Not the other way around. This guys job is not to treat other humans like dogs. They are not there to treat us all like potential criminals, like pieces of shit that have no rights, and should feel privilidged to even be able to travel to the US. It isnt to act like complete dicks, trying to get a reaction... which is exactly what went on here. That cop was looking for this reaction, and escalated it from the second the interview started. Just because this guy gave them a little attitude back, they couldnt take that, so they got pissed off and arrested him. and to make matters worse they tell him moving away from a cop is assult. WTF. Is this not fascism? This is like nazi germany.. show me your papers... The guy sounded to me like someone whos been throiugh this whole song n dance before, and got aggitated because he knew the nonsense he was about to go through. So why is it that the cop can give this guy attitude, but this guy cant give it right back. People seem to think cops or anyone with a badge is some how above us, and we must do exactly as they say. But in reality these ppl are paid by tax dollars; they are here for us. So for them to turn around and act like this, is inexcusable. This guy had every right to give a little attitude back to those pricks. How about starting the conversation off with hello fellow human, how are you? instead they set the tone by asking rapid fire questions, giving the guy no time to answer the questions.. and as soon as the guy gives a little attitude back, the cop hates that, because its undermining his power... and thats why 90% of these guys took the job afterall... because theyre power tripping bullies. Soon as some guy takes away their upperhand or lets them know theyre not gonne bend over, this infuriates them. And thats what we see here. They arrest the guy for talking back. He didnt do anything illegal, he didnt break the law. The cops could easily have said fuck off buddy go home, youre not getting in to this country with that attitude. Instead they just wanted to arrest him and get him in jail. Because who do you think you are, talking back to a border cop. Moral of the story is fuck these bullies and fuck the over reaching govt, both in the US and in Canada (mind you our shitty policies are a result of the US telling our govt what to do and how to act, under the guise of this bs 'war on terror'. Everyones being fooled by this false pretense nonsense since 9/11. It wasnt the arabs, stupid! | ||
