What is there to discuss. We are obviously living in a different country than what I grew up in. There is NO LEGAL EXCUSE for the police to treat people (even druggies) in this manner. Un-be-lie-va-ble! Where are we headed since this has become the norm.
This is the same government that is handing out awards to our troops to show restraint against shooting terrorists. We can only use FMJ bullets against our nation's enemies because hollow points are too lethal. The ROE in AF says that if they see Osama bin Laden in the company of women or children, that by no means can we go after them.
Here in this country, women, children, the infirm, lame, pets of any size, age or physical condition are subject to the most lethal rounds used in the most indiscriminate manner based on a twitch feeling.
So teenagers and young adults overseas are expected to have the judgement not to shoot active terrorists when it is possible that the blood spray might land on the kid handing wires to his bomb making dad, but "highly trained" and well compensated adults in the states can gun down citizens, destroy property and ruin innocent lives, and occasionaly plant evidence under the flimsiest of excuses usually no more complicated than "well, my finger was on the trigger anyways.."
