Since when is flipping off the cops a crime enough to be handcuffed and almost tazed?

That’s what I wondered. Free speech right there if there ever was any.

'Just because somebody says something, we can't automatically assume it's the truth. I'm not saying I'm doubting anything that George has said. We have to hear both sides and get to the bottom of it.' Doesn't sound like the chief is as good a friend as George thought he was...you can't just break the "thin blue line."

What made this moron cop really get pis*ed was that there was no dog to shoot.

Somewhere along the line I’d read that there are court rulings stating that flipping the bird is ‘’protected speech’’. He could have a civil rights charge to boot! But, he probably won’t and some other schmuck will be a victim some other time.

You are not supposed to aim the taser at someone’s face. Imagine those little darts in your eyes!

I remember a motorist flipping me off when I passed him after he FINALLY got over after pulling in front of me when I was pursuing another vehicle...of course I lost that vehicle due to waiting - but the guy who flipped me the bird - got a ticker for “Improper Hand Signal” and he paid it!
I don’t what happened in Evansville - used to live there a long time ago...seems to be a growing community w/ low crime...

COME ON JACKBOOT LICKERS!Let's hear it from y'all as to "we don't know the whole story." or "You want them to go home safely to their families at night." or some other such BS.
silence
Or how about "they were only following orders"
more silence
Just part of the 95% who give the other 5% a bad name.

Now there is an internal investigation underway within the police department and Madison's friend Chief Bolin is involved. Methinks those cops gonna be patrolling the unemployment lines fairly soon.....................

Dudes! You are sooooooooo hosed on this one. The “street-thug-tactics” will only work against you.
Cut a check and shut up.

That’s what I wondered. Since when is it against the law to flip the bird at Police?
I suppose right after they passed the law that a clown cannot wear an Obama mask.

What? You mean Madison didn’t start screaming “racism” like “certain” “other” people did?

They're coming. You can bet on that. They'll probably claim the pastor was throwing a gang sign and that, without knowing the whole story (tm) one cannot blame the cops.

Since now for one. That is next to the question,”Why did they do that?” The answer is because they can. Not meaning to give you a short answer but it is better now for your health if you stay as far away from the cops as you can.
