And even then it might be Tourette's.WouldYouKindly said:Also, how do you construe a speech impediment as disrespectful, unless he goes oink every few words.
well there's mistakes and than there are complete cockups. This would be the latter i make a mistake when i forget my keys taseing pepper spraying and beating on a mentally handicaped person in a defensive stance isnt a mistake.EverythingIncredible said:We all make mistakes from time to time.

At the end of the article, it says that all the charges against the kid were dropped and the cop is being prosecuted/sued for: "false imprisonment, false arrest, malicious prosecution, assault, battery, excessive use of force, infliction of emotional distress and civil conspiracy. "Kakulukia said:"Jesse was charged with assault on a peace officer"
What the fuck?! Unless the story here is incomplete, there was no assault or obstruction in any way. And since those two charges are bogus, the kid couldn't be arrested for resisting arrest (obviously).
I sincerely hope those incompetent fucks will not only be fired, but also criminally charged.
While what this officer should get a basketball wrapped in barbwire shoved up his ass for what he apparently did I am a tiny bit confused by people going apeshit on all police everywhere for one dickhead. You do realize that 95% of police are decent people just trying to do their jobs right?traukanshaku said:Awful, but I can't say that I'm surprised. The U.S. is a police state. Power-mad high school dropout pigs with too much power, too many toys, and too little oversight.
Because of course the actions of these few represent the majority. Perhaps if you substantiated these wild accusations they would carry more weight. I personally know most of the cops in my town and they are decent hard-working people. You need statistics otherwise it becomes a battle of anecdotes.traukanshaku said:Awful, but I can't say that I'm surprised. The U.S. is a police state.
