Somebody posted this a while ago from liveleak, but I enjoyed watching it again.

Some may complain because of the "harsh" treatment of Iraqi civil servants, but the fact of the matter is that our own troops get these same kinds of talks, and from my experience, the Iraqi police and army need them. I've personally seen Iraqi Army soldiers drop their weapons and cower behind a wall while taking sporadic incoming fire. I've got a video from another platoon of members of the Al-Karma police attacking the OP set up at their own police station. I missed Thanksgiving dinner because of that attack! *******s.

I'm going to post some of the vids I have of insurgent attacks when I get my old laptop back from my brother, and then I can illustrate the point that these guys have no reason to refrain from fighting other than that they are (a) traitors or (b) cowards, or (c) both. You'd have to see it to believe it. I can totally understand that soldier's frustration.
Perhaps the only thing more frustrating is the way we choose to deal with them. I hate to say it, but our own military makes itself an easy target in a lot of attacks, especially IED attacks. Ridiculous RoEs, sending foot patrols to scan for IEDs, convoying with low speed limits in the daytime.......arggh! I could go on and on.

Anyways, those police are a bunch of worthless chicken**** mother*******. I can tell from they way they carry themselves. They deserved every word of that.

Agreed.....tis such a pity that saying it how it should be said is often so frowned upon
