I'm surprised. Before Rodney King, Florida had a case where officers beat a motorcyclist to death then tried to cover it up and were acquitted of all charges by an all white jury.

Firing squad. Put those idiot thugs in front of a wall with a cigarette and a blindfold apiece. That's all I got... dammit, America, if you're going to go Banana republic (and not in the fashion sense) go all the way.

-- Steve's having a cranky start to his staycation, having apparently come down with some sort of summer Hell-cold on the very first day... this leaves him with precious little empathy for abuses of state power.

WOOHOO!

See in Florida they're stupid. In Ohio - they're ass holes.
At least that's that criteria I used to get the right answer.

At least. Ideally, fucking jail time.

Both. I hope they win against the department as a whole, the officers individually, and then the officers get jail time. That is completely unconscionable.

On a happier note, I got the poll right this time. I figured Florida people have enough funky accents that cops wouldn't interpret anyone with a speech impediment or something as "disrespecting" them.

Part of me wants to follow this story and see the end result.
Part of me doesn't because I'm bound to be disappointed.

Not least because deeming him incompetent to stand trial isn't the same as saying "actually, no you assholes are full of shit, get this out of my courtroom"

What the hell is wrong with people?!? Seriously, are we at the point now that there are people who believe "mouthing off" (even if it was true (which it's not)) is cause for a tasering? What. The. Fuck?

We've always been at that point, and those people have always ssought positions of authority. It's only the tazers that are new.
