I can't wait to see how this one is defended around here....

>> The trouble began when city crews with warrants were ordered to clean up her messy yard. <<

I wonder how 'messy' the yard was. Did her neighbors complain? Was there a health issue?

I'd like to know why there was a warrant. We’re losing our property rights very quickly in this country.

I’d resist too if I thought they were entering my home illegally. Cops are not always right. After all, they work for the government.

They pepper sprayed me in my prosthesis

Huh?

Probably she has lived there for decades, and then the yuppies moved in around her and started complaining about her messy yard. No doubt they are all liberal bleeders for the poor, but they can't stand having a real example of what they bleed for living next to them. It brings down the neighborhood, don't you know?

They pepper sprayed her in her prosthesis,then it ran down her nose? Where is the prosthesis? What cop in his right mind would pass up a chance to use his taser,those things is fun.Judgement for the Defendant.

In the sixties the prime prerequisite for being a police officer was "the ability to exert violence".

I realize times have changed, and we are a much kinder and gentler people, but something must be done!

Perhaps police could wear color coded uniforms.

Say ....... green for Democrat leaning [socialist & rhino] police, and blue for Republican [Atilla the Hun] police.

Then just pass a law that one cannot be arrested apprehended stopped ....... er uh ....... bothered by an officer of the opposite party.
