  2. Welcome to the real USA ... with more prisoners, in both relative & absolute terms, than in any other nation in the world.

    No. One!

    Police state, that is.

    Number of prisoners, that's as good a measure as it gets.

    The cop in the vid will get a commendation, forget charges.

  3. I hope those crackers weren't the100,000 cops that Clinton hired.Where do these come from, high school drop outs? This isn't the best way to cut local taxes, and I hope the democratic party makes an issue of this.This leaves one hell of a sour taste. I hope that this isn't a political set up, because it sure works. Fired, charged with assault and a ten year jail sentence.
