I agree, beadcutter. Especially given who the initial complaint came from and other details that have seemed to changed "after the fact". And before you ask, Southern Guy -- I will not elaborate on that. Just wait. You'll see what I mean.

Hey, I know... since Obama isn't too concerned about the Gulf, Southern Guy -- why don't you see if he'll come down here and take control of this case? I mean, since you think this will go higher than a state level and all. And if there isn't a firing that takes place, are YOU going to be the source of the fireworks? I mean, let me know if and when you plan to march outside the police station with your signs so I can come by and wave at you.
By you saying you have zero respect for them, and seem to be pulling for the repeat drunk driver instead of the law officers that actually physically did something to get him off the streets (as opposed to the ones that stood around and watched instead of doing their job....) I am sure you have probably been on the wrong side of the law at one point and this might be where all the resentment comes from. I'm no Dr. Phil, but this is my guess.
In your last post, you were asking several questions... all of which you already know the answer to. Remember.. .just because a suspect is handcuffed doesn't mean he is compliant. These officers were kicked and spit on and bitten.... while the suspect was handcuffed. I hate having to repeat myself, but for you- I guess its necessary. I'll be glad when this is over just so you'll find some other post to pounce on.
Bottom line -- if in the end the officers were found of wrongdoing, then they should get whatever punishment is deemed, whether it is firing (I don't agree with that option) or a suspension.
