Sounds like some pretty stupid agents.

After the PO’d dad takes them out (clandestinely of course) here come the lawyers.

[Standing Wolf]

Sounds like some pretty stupid agents.

Well, yeah, but it could have been a lot worse: she might have shot for barking at the cops.

[bigbob]

Jaysus! Is this becoming a trend, or what? (Incredibly stupid law-breaking cops, I mean)?

In the first place, even if it had been beer, is carrying beer to your car now a crime?

Breaking windows? We trust cops to exercise restraint and not fire guns into a crowd, for example, this is yet another example where common sense and judgement are lacking.

I’m guessing Affirmative Action hires.......

[OneWingedShark]

..law enforcement this dumb would have no sympathy from me if they got shot.

[massmike]

Imagine what they would have done if these girls had CIGARETTES!!!!!!

The woman was on edge after spending the night listening to stories from dozens of sexual assault survivors at an annual "Take Back the Night" vigil on Grounds, said Daly's defense attorney, Francis Lawrence.

[Gaffer]

No, just more government goons heady with power undeserved.

[Tijeras_Slim]

By the time she settles her case she should be able to buy her own micro brewery.

[andyk]

Wow, they had no idea how old she was, and weren’t sure what she was carrying, and that is their probable cause.

[Gadsden1st]

I guessing a desire to hit on a couple of chicks and try to get lucky that turned bad cause they didn’t drop to their knees with “My, what a big night stick you have”.

"a half-dozen men and a woman in street clothes"

It's a freakin' wilding.

[TADSLOS]

"You don't know all the facts until you complete the investigation," he said.

IOW, they need time to build their cover story before the civil suit hits.

[P.O.E.]

"A job for two of job age"

[AndyJackson]

ABC agents in plain clothes with guns looking for underage drinkers in a college town? How about a SWAT doing no nock raids on dorm rooms?

[DownInFlames]

Good thing she didn’t buy condoms.

[Farmer Dean]

There were 7 of these thugs operating together?Sounds like they got the message about going out in squad strength when harrassing the public.

[AndyJackson]

Imagine what they would have done if these girls had CIGARETTES!!!!!! P>I was thinking a couple of wine coolers. Strip search them and lock 'em away.

It's a college town fer chrissakes. These so-called officers are dumb, but the higher ups who put this whole charade into motion are even dumber.
