The LAPD is back in the spotlight.
Sometimes a cop can only shake his head in wonder at the silliness of it all. For reasons that escape me, a videotaped arrest that occurred three months ago in Hollywood has stirred national and even international attention, once again putting the Los Angeles Police Department in a familiar yet uncomfortable position.

Chris Rock has a great (and funny) video about how to NOT get your butt kicked by the police.
Great tips here...

Fred wanted to know what will happen when the population reaches a tipping point where too many members of the minority groups are *not* law abiding, and for the usual political reasons, politicians choose to back the criminals, rather than the police.

The criminals just see a new way to get free money -- whine. Disgusting.
