DUUUUUUVAAAAAL!!!!!!!!!
He has a history with apparently attacking female cops. Accused of similar crimes in 2020, per the article.
Which is why I’m sure was walking around free......

And the media is shouting that Scott Adams is a racist, eh?

Hope it's not already too late for this poor woman.
Corrected it in post #3
A long time ago Rush said “nowadays the truth will get you in trouble in this country”........as usual he was right.
I’m afraid it’s too late
....beating her....
A symptom of the problem.
Affirmative action.
So much for equality of females on police force. They get the crap beat out of them. Then we have waste resources sending 2 officers to deal with a crime instead of one
I used to watch the TV show COPS religiously......as times as not a female cop needed backup from a male for what would more than likely have been a routine scenario for a man.....criminals know the female will be weaker and take advantage.
Serving in my church’s prison ministry I saw many female prison guards mixed right in with inmates......it always looked like bad juju to me.
Diversity is (not) our strength but it does get people killed.
guess he wasn’t impressed wi her authority
knocked the officer down and was beating her when a detective arrived and subdued Merrill.
The officer, investigators said, was hospitalized for treatment of serious injuries. The Sheriff’s Office said due to Marsy’s Law, police are unable to identify the officer.
she was on duty being paid by taxpayer dollars, not a victim...
Thank you!
