3. Man...
What is wrong with cops in this country? Now before some of you ex-law enforcement folks start flaming me, I know all cops aren't bad. I even have cops as friends. But there's an attitude among the American police force as a whole that scares me. It's a kind of let's go kick some ass attitude instead of let's go protect the public. It scares me. And it's getting worse, not better.

I have been in situations where I've had to restrain drunk people way more violent than that man by myself, and I never needed a fucking taser gun to do it. This is bullshit, whichever way you slice it. There were numerous cops there and one distraught man. They did not need a taser gun. Inexcusable.
