Bands Assulted By Cops!! This Is Unfair!!

[amazingman40]

My band got yelled at all the time so we had to quit our band and now we just do little acoustics in my bedroom;(

[united768]

i know a video showing part of the whole scene.

[ug561]

your really cuteeee

[darkbluemixedtape55]

i saw the twitter too. this makes me so sick and as i did more looking into this i wanted to scream. it was unfair and after i watched a few videos i was amazed to hear the cops said in the videos there was no evidence of violence. in one video the cops shined a flashlight in the camera to make sure there was no evidence. thanks for posting this. people need to know about it.

shits been going on since the beginning of police, power corrupts and there are few checks and balances for the police department

More info:

See wikipedia, We the Kings, section "Philadelphia Police Incident"

Also google philadelphia weekly, cycle of violence

[whoaaaitsbeensolong]

was there when it happened. i wanted to watch this, cause i was interested what people who werent in philly would think of the twitter updates (tweets? wtf?). so i was watching it, got 40 seconds in, and gagged.

not you, im just not over everything yet.

most terrifying thing ive ever experienced.

[gamerlink]

i think its just a couple of bad cops being jealous that musicians make shitloads more money than them, I mean most cops are alright but there are the bad apples out there. i wouldn't blame cops in general just the few that are giving the rest a bad name.

[FeloniousBadBoy]

Heyy Thanks For Posting This

What Happened Is Really Sad

And I Agree This Is Wrong And It Shouldn't Have Happened

[screamandshout46]

thank you for posting this

[famouslastbreathh]

Couldn't say it even better...

[JessicaBlairAmelia]

I saw that Twitter. I'm still wasn't sure what happened after I saw this, though. Thanks for posting it.

[frankfan1031]

im from the dc area as well!

i agree with everything you say. those cops had no right to treat them like that. it seriously makes me sick to my stomach to even watch those videos from last night. its disgusting to see how one human being can be so cruel to another. i will do everything i can to help out! if anyone needs help with anything let me know!

[KxSoccer22]

philly cops, fucking disgusting. i hope something happens to those cops, this isn't right.

[S3l3NAxW3NTZ]

i totally respect and love you for posting this video!

[laurennosyke]

Someone send me the link to the video!! I was crying when I was reading jonathan cook's tweets.. :'(

[clemsongirl9008]

can someone send me the link for the video. i would like to see it. i got the twitter messages too. and i about cried. i would love to see. thanks

[apsterling]

While I disagree with the police's actions- the bands were sort of being assholes to the cops, and as such deserved the tickets towards the van they refused to move. That was it though- the beatdown was unjustified.

[emmafortomorrow]

I was there the night before for the AP tour.

The cops like grabbed Kennedy from The Maine and were like "DO YOU WANT TO GET ARRESTED?!"

And they made Nick Santino like run away..

WTF, why philly?!!

[KAYLAxLOVESxU]

I just saw videos of last night.

I cried, I seriously cried.

Jonathan(FTSK) sounded terrified when he called an ambulance.

They threatened Caleb(FTSK) with a billy club!!

Fuck Philly cops, FUCK THEM!

ughhh I'm soo pissed right now D:<

[NotGonnaGetUSx3]

I agree that something needs to happen. They took advantage of their power. The only thing those bands did was say the truth and that's after the cops had started being idiots. I am still in shock, what is this world coming to when you have cops beating on innocent people? I thought they were there to protect us, not beat on us because they want a bit more on their check. Freakin' fools, they're going to get what's coming to them in time.

[randallt56]

where did you see the video of what happened?

[ReillyBAM]

I watched the videos of it happening and i started crying.

does anyone know who the three people are that were arrested?

Obviously chris is the one in the hospital.

[Sharpei722]

I agree with every single thing you said in this video.

[FutureRockStylist]

I got the twitter updates from the guys of FTSK, and it ruined my day...I love those guys! [and the guys from WTK] and those are some sweet people. I think those cops r just wanting their names plastered in newspapers and stuff =[[[[

[artcutie33]

i could not agree with u more and its sad because this is not the first time cops had beatten someone.. those cops are seriously trying to make their monthly quota!! douchebags!!

[JennStarlytPress]

this nonsences happens more and more often but we never hear about it because the dirty cops justify it in their heads and departments that they are doing the "right" thing when in all reality they need to be investigated for the injustice they are putting upon us.

[XxAninLannonxX]

I could not agree more with your video.

Yes i'm a fan of these bands, i've met FTSK and i'm seeing WTK in may, but i was seriously in tears when i read and saw everything that happened. Nobody ever deserves to go through anything like that if they did NOTHING wrong ! I feel so sick and angry right now, it's not even funny. I'm gonna make sure as many people as possible see this video. Thank you for posting it <3

[soso27]

Just watched your video & I think you are totally right!

I'm in France & I'm really glad that the cops are never making troubles at gigs!

I just found one vid,& I think those cops were seriously out of control & gosh,that really upsets me!
