Me too. Cops are a very dangerous situation at this juncture. I think they are trained and indoctrinated into everyone non-cop is a potential enemy. Terrible for all of us.

They’ve been pretty successful at transferring all risk and consequence to the citizens that they come in contact with.

It was justified. He wouldn’t pay the bribe.

You hear a lot about “good cops.” It would have taken one “good cop” to end this.

“You hear a lot about “good cops.” It would have taken one “good cop” to end this.”

And yet, there wasn’t “one good cop” in the four here! And they know if they all “stick together,” they will be acquitted.

I’ve adopted the practice of shutting off my ad blocker, reloading the page, and immediately turning it back on. It gets me in and then blocks all subsequent ads on the page. Bit of an annoyance, but it works.

Why post the WP when there are other sites carrying the story that don’t charge you to access!

Man, the cops these days are so over-weight. Almost all of them are obese. How can they even chase down a suspect.

As far as the video- man, excessive force indeed.

They don't have to...They just shoot 'em and then put cuffs on them...

I saw something like this years ago.
Sheriffs in Santa Cruz beat up a friend that had been drinking on the beach, for being a smart ass.
Charged him with assault on an officer and some other lies.
Left him with a criminal record and scars on his face...all for not kissing their pork ass.
That story gets me out of jury duty every time.

I think they’ve been chased off by the Constitutionalists who refuse to bow down and accept the notion that badges bestow special rights on those who wear them.
