Geez, I'm figuring somebody here is going to come up with a legal justification for the cops actions!

I don't know who's response surprised me more - sammy's, who I've ever probably never agreed with, or speeder's, with whom I usually do.

If this had been the spoiled brat bastard of a well to do family, not some faceless homeless guy, you better believe there'd be hell to pay.

Seems a lot of people don't know that it's not a cop's job to be judge, jury and executioner, only to apprehend and arrest, if necessary, lawbreakers.

While the cop's bringing the bike down could probably be argued as justifiable because the guy was evading arrest, beating him once he was apprehended can't be.
