8. That is absolutely horrible.

Did anyone else watch the video, or read the small blurb of info at the link? One of the girls has a broken jaw and broken ribs. It was the 12 year old, I believe. Plus she is is being charged with that old standby lie 'Resisting arrest'.

And if all this is not bad enough, the person reviewing the case claims that the whole thing was justified. I think...(might need to go back and re-read- the whole thing has a surreal quality to it- hard to absorb)... The fact that this crap keeps happening over and over again is incomprehensible.

We need to DO something! Letters to my congresscritters are a given, but would letters to the DOJ help? How about Ohio congressmen of that district, as well as Ohio's AG's office? Any other ideas?

This is insane and needs to end.

FYi- It could be just my computer, but I can't see 3 of the OP's pics.
