Cop Block is a "decentralized" (whatever that means), site designed to monitor police activity and harassment. Most of the site's content comes from a user upload system that allows anyone to submit complaints of police brutality. All things considered it's actually a fairly reasonable goal given that there are some very reasonable complaints about our justice system, racial profiling and war on drugs anyone?

Unfortunately Sturgeon's Law is in effect here, so most videos and articles aren't all that interesting.

[edit] Libertarianism

We don't need no stinking badges!

Being a site dedicated to the idea that "badges don't grant extra rights." It makes sense that Cop Block would have a libertarian stance. The first bad sign comes from the fairly prominent ad to donate money to Cop Block via bitcoin. Then you get articles that actually border on the insane, like "Are Police Really Needed?"[1] It's reasonable to say that perhaps police institutions have gone too far, but to suggest that we get rid of them in entirety is extremist.
