That was my first thought
Unless his arrest record was for beating up cops this is barely relevant
It plays into usual freeper logic of law breakers sorta have it coming
That is a trait of some Freepers that I will never understand. It just baffles me how someone who is in favor of freedom and individual liberty--and concerned about tyranny, totalitarianism and other forms of oppressive government authority (so concerned, in fact, to spend time on a site like FreeRepublic)--can reflexively jump on the side of the police in every single incident involving allegations of brutality of misconduct.
