Every day I see "friends" on Facebook with their scolding messages telling people that they'll be fine if they're respectful and they follow the cops' instructions. Well I don't see how the fuck this poor guy could have been more compliant, and if he'd lay face-down then they probably would have shot him in the back.

I hope that he and his kids and his grandkids never have to work a day in their lives after this.

What utter bullshit.
