Wow...thank you for sharing your total lack of intellect and common sense with the rest of the world. Now please crawl back in your conspiracy theory hole and wait for the black helicopters to come.

Unfortunately for the GOP, the core of the Republican Party is some really hard-core authoritarians, and they are dumber than a bag of hammers.
Stupidity, authority, control, obedience all appeal to the weakest of minds and the most frail of personalities. Few people are lining up for this plate of hell.

I think many Americans are tired of both of the pathetic political parties we have. Dem and Rep alike.The poster at the top is quite right. Even a small amount of research will confirm that the police in this country repeatedly abuse their power in many disgusting ways. This story doesn't surprise me at all.
