you don't even want to hear or believe the police side of this incident ! There are always two sides of a story , always ! I cannot understand this sudden campaign to make police and law and order personnel the " bad guys " . These men risk their lives every day to protect law abiding citizens from criminals , looters , thieves , and punks that just want to prove how " tough " they are .

As to how long all, this affair will be dragged out : as long as the media feeding frenzy goes on , to fill their pages and airtime, and stir up more trouble .
