"He did it, too!" was not a legitimate argument in Kindergarten, and it certainly not acceptable for adults, let alone ones who carry the power of life and death in their daily work.Windy Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01951254236693386401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-33643777551539161392014-11-05T21:34:33.696-08:002014-11-05T21:34:33.696-08:00"the guy was driving impaired, left the scene..."the guy was driving impaired, left the scene of an accident, failed to pull over for emergency vehicles ("everybody knows, if the police have to come and get you, they're bringing an ass kicking with them") and on at least one occasion attempted to escape while in custody"<br /><br />Wow, you're right AndyN, the cops should have just executed his sorry ass on the spot!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-20877426359046960712014-11-05T20:54:58.764-08:002014-11-05T20:54:58.764-08:00Police abuse happens, it shouldn't, and when i...Police abuse happens, it shouldn't, and when it does the cops should be prosecuted just like any other thugs would be. That said, Leone could have benefited from having seen Chris Rock's "How Not To Get Your Ass Kicked By The Police." <br /><br />Even by this absurdly one-sided account, the guy was driving impaired, left the scene of an accident, failed to pull over for emergency vehicles ("everybody knows, if the police have to come and get you, they're bringing an ass kicking with them") and on at least one occasion attempted to escape while in custody. There are way to many indisputably innocent victims of police abuse out there for me to waste any sympathy on a guy who sounds like he probably needed to be smacked around by somebody.AndyNnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-34715614693996909772014-11-05T19:07:54.663-08:002014-11-05T19:07:54.663-08:00And people wonder why someone would ambush a badg...And people wonder why someone would ambush a badgemonkey.
