Like Farron here says, even if we don't like Ronny Jackson for being such a Magat asshole, he was actually doing the right thing here, and cops slammed him around.

I googled and found several news stories, including this one:
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/ronny-jackson-rodeo-police-detained-b2386653.html
Edit: I originally posted that the cops seemed to be out of line, but from what I've heard since, he was berating them and may have brought it on himself. With everything that's been going on, I haven't had a chance to really dig into this, so take that as you will!

But at the same time, I'd hope that it kinda hurt.
Fuck Jackson.

(1,787 posts)No matter how many sayings there are about "eye for an eye" or getting a "taste of your own medicine" or "What's good for the goose is also..." and certainly no matter how much one really deserves a good attitude adjustment... there really is no one that it is acceptable for the cops to rough up or beat down.
