Chief Brody should've arrested Mrs. Kitner for assault


A couple of years in jail will teach her not to slap a cop.

I disagree. She was mourning and he felt bad enough so allowed her to venge herself. To be honest I sometimes wish more cops got slapped - the ones who parade around like they own the streets amd manhandle anyone they don't like the look of. Some cops are too gung ho in making an arrest merely because someone accidentally treads on their toe or nudges a cop in a crowd! Amity was way more laid back and Brody was seeking some sort of acceptance I guess. Arresting a grieving mother because he failed to close the beaches leading to Alex's death would have been an unpopular move.

She was understandably upset but she still retained a certain dignity in the deliverance of her slap. It's not as though she was in a rage and proceeded to attack him with a metal pipe in a frenzy! She was to be pitied. Even the Mayor felt that slap - it should have been his but nobody else was privvy to THAT conversation where he had even pursuaded the coroner to deem Chrissie's death as a result of a boating accident as opposed to the shark attack it was - all to ensure the tourists flocked in as usual to spend their summer dollars.

Yeh, but you know what? Nowadays, Martin Brody probably wouldn't have retained any dignity in the face of being physically assaulted like that. He probably would've slapped her back....and more, if one gets the drift.

reply

Today he'd take out his taser and tase that B's ass. As if it was Brody's fault. Or maybe even just get out his gun, but she was white, so that's less likely.

reply

I would have tackled her to the ground and had my knee on her neck in seconds flat.

Plus she's a selfish mother, how old was she when she had that kid? Like 45? Kid probably had defects and would have to take care of and bury an OAP mother in his teenage years.

The shark did him a favour in my opinion, he probably swam towards the sharks mouth to get away from her!

You, sir, should not attempt to rile Corky. His input on this board happens to be appreciated by us regulars. What's wrong with you? Did your mummy's gin habit render you pi$$ed at the tit (that's assuming you ever left it)?

Why not buy yourself the ultimate IMDb manual - it's called "The Ultimate Guide to Avoid Being an *beep*

A far better approach would have been to use the situation to put the sleaze Mayor in his place. Brody should have told Kitner, "You see that guy wearing the tacky blazer? You should be slapping him. I tried to close the beach, but he overruled by decision."

However, Brody was too nice of a guy and too mild-mannered to take the opportunity to disgrace the man who was letting him be used as a scapegoat.

And in 1974 risk losing his job

She would have been shot if she were black.

You wouldn't have made that comment if you were mentally competent.

Racist r3t@rd.
I am not white. I am also not a blithering racist buffoon. You clearly are.
White people are more likely to be shot by police. Police also hesitate to shoot black people far more than white people.

BLM is a scam. They took the money and ran off to buy mansions in affluent peaceful communities instead of wasting it giving freebies to riotous and violent communities, and I cannot say I blame them. Anyone dumb enough to donate to that organization deserved to be scammed.
Sadly, the original "Black Live Matter" organization was defrauded by the modern one. It started in the 70s and was an outreach program to allocate MORE police to high-crime areas because blacks were tired of being victims of violent criminals. Now it is a bastardized version of its former self. Centered entirely around lies and fear tactics. Blaming police and phantom racists for the problems they created themselves and refuse to fix. Instead, they blame everyone else and demand everyone else fix the problem they created while demanding less police and denying all responsibility/culpability for the problems they created and perpetuate.

Black people kill other black people(and all people, for that matter) at astronomical rates.
The vast majority of OIS black suspects/perpetrators are absolutely justified. Even most of the ones that were not justified legally were situations where they had to make a split-second decision and decided poorly, but those are very rare.

You are a racist degenerate imbecile.

Color me shocked.

The racist dimwitted degenerate cannot be bothered to read more than a few brief talking points, which is why their entire worldview is based on nothing but brief talking points and statements devoid of any substance or validity.

cool story, bro

She was up in his face like she wanted to give him Covid.

reply

And Brody let that shit happen.

Brody was a pure cuck, then became his alpha final form when he blew the final boss the pieces. A true transition.

Must have been a scene left over from the book were Brody was a true shameful Cuckimus Prime.

In the book Hooper stepped onto the island and within days he was boning Brody's wife.

reply

Brody took direct orders from the Mayor. She should have been pissed at Mayor Vaughn but Brody didn’t point the finger at him because he’s a man.

He didn’t even know the word “cuck” back then because there was no internet for pathetic worms to insult men from without repercussions.

reply

Cuck is short for cuckold and is not even close to a new term.
It is a derisive name for a man whose wife is false to him, "husband of an adulteress," early 13c., kukewald, cokewold, from Old French cucuault, from cocu (see cuckoo) + pejorative suffix -ault, of Germanic origin. So called from the female bird's alleged habit of changing mates, or her authentic habit of leaving eggs in another bird's nest.

The way it is used today is technically wrong. When people say cuck or cuckold they usually mean "wittol", which means "compliant cuckold", a cuckold who is aware and tolerates it or even likes it.

reply

He felt so guilty over letting himself be talked out of closing the beaches, that he wouldn't have objected if she'd kneed him in the balls.

reply

Brody's not that type of cop, nor is he that type of man.
