Once upon a time, there was a more robust type of arrestee-- one that wouldn't up and die on you the minute you put him in handcuffs. I think the quality of our criminals these days is far lower. They dress rotten, are downright self-destructive in their behavior (more so than in the past, I think) can't hold their guns right, listen to rotten crap rap music, cannot wear a hat right, and are most unlike the John Dillingers or Al Capones of the past. No one would make movies about our modern crooks. If you hemmed up John Dilinger, you wouldn't see him curled up like a pill bug crying to see the jail nurse, sagging his britches, and begging to be a floor worker. And he certainly wouldn't drop dead when he got cuffed up or manhandled.
