He's my brother

[misskeir]

This version of this song is the only one that truly articulates my loss as an older sister

[kholleran74]

ok what did i miss? the flaming on comments- didn't notice anything on vid (too busy lisenint to son)- know im not the only one- is this a wikieaks thingy? hope not the song is sooo precious -

just reminds me of my recently deceased brother- explain the vid please- I just saw compassion in it

[kholleran74]

thank you for this vid- my brother committed suicide 2 months ago- (he's my brother) and the vid makes me see somewhat what my dad went thru in Vietnam I guess- any death is horrific- TY for the housmartians song-

[MrFearless4]

Ok Question to you cops who call these co-workers of yours " brothers". Do you see citizens as your brothers?

I mean people like 11 y/o alberto sepulveda who one of YOUR brothers shot in the back at point blank face down. SEE THIS WAS MY BROTHER!!!! Did you go on his site and pay respect to him as a lost brother or is he just a nobody compared to your brother who shot him. By the Way Your brothers Name is Officer David Hawn of the Modesto Police Dept.

[recruit71]

It is tragic. Although the shooting was ruled an accident. And I'm sure that the officer who was an 18 year veteran will struggle with this for the rest of his life. And if its blame your looking for, then blame the father of the child for placing him in such a hostile environment. Nothing good can come to a family when narctotics are being sold out the family household. Tragic accidents happen and it is a shame.

[recruit71]

And for citizens? We serve you and we protect you. And 9 times out of 10 we rarely even get a thank you from citizens for our contribution. But yet we never complain nor quit. We will always be there when you are afraid or in need of help. We call each other brothers because we serve together, and in our darkest hour, each other is all we have.

[Ferrari450GT]

Thankyou recruit7, I am with you I am a police officer and I'd be suprised if ever get a thanks. Yet I know that thanks may not come, I don't give up cause that would bring no honor to our hard work. To all those who serve Armed Forces, Police, Fire, Rescue, National Guard. A salute to us.

[chrisw3fsd]

Thank you for all you do. and put up with.

[blackelk7373]

@Ferrari450GT dont compare what soldiers do to what you do. They actually break a sweat every now and then. You piece of trash just sit on your ass and write tickets every now and then. p.s. did you hear about those 2 cops killed in florida 2 nights ago? The Lord works in mysterious ways huh? :)

[Ferrari450GT]

@blackelk7373 Never said I was a patrol officer asshole. I am part of a Anti Gang Unit in the inner city of Chicago. Besides that all people who put their life on the line for miserable fucks like yourself should be honored. Maybe the Lord will work in mysterious ways and help end your life.

[blackelk7373]

@Ferrari450GT I dont want or need any fat racist pieces of trash putting their life on the line for me. Makes me embarrased to be white. Cops are good at beating middle aged women infront of their children. Leaching off our tax dollars. Get a real job you lame mthr fckr. WORK for a living, you should try it

[Ferrari450GT]

@blackelk7373 You dont like police because your bastard father beat you and your mother and the police came and took him away and you hate police for that reason.. Its also not my fault that you are a crack baby and your mother has to give head for money to support your medication. Ive worked harder than you in one minute than you ever have in your whole life. How bout you do the whole world a favor and go crawl back in the hole you came from and hide there for the rest of your life.

[blackelk7373]

@Ferrari450GT lmao you think im black because of my name???? Blackelk is a popular native chief. I am native myself. How stupid do you have to be to think im black because im named after a popular chief? It has the word black in it so im from African origin? wow

[Ferrari450GT]

@blackelk7373 No I never thought you were black I well know blackelk is tribal. Myself I am 3% Sioux. My relatives Indian name is Napayshni and his wife is Kolaki. Im just frustrated at how you can be so unbelievably bullheaded you are about what officers do.

[blackelk7373]

@Ferrari450GT I am a convicted felon so I have an insight into police you have only heard of. Dont be so naive to think cops are there to help. They are there to collect money by any means necesary. I have never and will never call a cop under an circumstance. As a man if you cant handle things on your own you arent fit to be alive. Ive worked construction since high school. I graduated in 96. Ive never met anyone with a work ethic like mine, but you do more in 1 minute than my whole life..liar

[Ferrari450GT]

@blackelk7373 I understand you dont like us and I cant say I dont blame you, cause you have probably had some pretty gory runins with the police. I can handle many things its just I thought you came from a differant story, but not the one you have explained to me. I credit highly your work ethic its a hard and job. You may not see mine that way but I can guaranty you it is. I wish to argue with you no more. Good luck.. Stay Safe

[blackelk7373]

@Ferrari450GT gl 2 u 2 thx

[MrRUShure]

@blackelk7373 So you are a convicted felon. I bet yu are blaming the police for this, right?

[insanelygreatproduct]

@Ferrari450GT , thank you sir....

[chrisw3fsd]

Thank you for all you do. and put up with.

[blackelk7373]

@MrFearless4 r.i.p. Alberto, sorry to hear about him. This country we live in has changed. Ive worked hard as fuck my whole life to put my little bro and sis through college. Rarely spendin money on myself because my parents cant work. I got convicted of a felony charge in 03 for defendin myself against a drunk asshole. He had alot of money for a good lawyer so the judge threw the book at me. All that time spent in prison, in custody of police exc...these cops are the real terrorists,not muslims

[ATouchOfMagic88]

@blackelk7373 this is not the fault of police officers you know
