Cops beat up Ronnie Jackson, the former WH doctor.

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!

for a medical emergency, some in their car having a medical emergence killed or stunned nearly to death. From what I see some jurisdictions are really fucked up. Where I live the chief of police wants all LGBT jailed if he could, WTF!!! n/t

If Donald Trump was mugged in an alley and punched in the face, I certainly wouldn't develop a newfound love & admiration for face-punching muggers everywhere.

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

Fuck Jackson.

He is perfectly happy with "liberals" Getting beat up by police.

When you let your dog off the leash to attack you neighbor, don't get mad when he bites you too

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.
