Those cops were chicken-sh*t, Barny Fife wannabes.
That creep with the stick should have been hauled off and arrested.
Disgusting.
I lifted this from another forum:
"A follow up phone call to the Ft. Madison PD shows that Jim Mitchell WAS arrested for assualt of Mr. Holman. I didn't persue it past that. So, the guy who hit Dan Holman WILL probably be either paying a fine or spend a few days in the clink. This is after talking with the police officer who answers their phone. 319.372.2525 "
