Red Berets and all. This happened on SUNDAY, and this report didn't show up until Tuesday. And we are just now seeing it here on DU on Thurs evening. Why didn't this show up on national news on the day it happened or at least first thing Mon AM??? So what did they do, taser him and then beat the crap out of him once they caught up to him? What I want to know is what do the police look like after this altercation? Do THEY have wounds as if they were in an altercation? This burns me up. Damn!
