That being said, I believe this is a typical example of DU selective posting. This post is as bad as anything we complain about with the way the Corporate media selects news. Make it sound as if ONLY the cops in this situation were the ONLY ones who did anything bad. Read the whole article.

The woman was a nut. She went to the police station to leave her other child with them because she didn't want him anymore. She wouldn't give them any information and became combative. She didn't tell anyone she was pregnant, and apparently, it wasn't obvious. Yes, the cop who tased her most likely over reacted. I would imagine that the person who posted this has never been in a situation even remotely like this and would probably have reacted badly as well. I don't know.

I believe the OP was simply an effort to get people to react by saying things about how bad cops are. There's an agenda behind it, and I think it's wrong. "War Piggy Files." Yep, there's an agenda behind it. What do YOU do for a living?

Disclaimer - stun guns should never be used on anybody. I'm not a cop and don't particularly like cops. However, I have CHOSEN not to be a cop because I do not want the responsibility of being in a position like this. I don't want to be in a position to be called a "War Piggy."

'Nuff said...
