That's assault? I'll tell you what's assault: On Friday after work I went out to a bar in Bethesda for a few beers with a co-worker. When we were leaving the bar, the cops were talking to some guy who was in the passenger seat of a cab that was stopped right in front of the place. I couldn't hear what the guy said, but the cops (two of them, both pretty big guys) opened the door and yoked this dude out the car, and when he slid out of the seat, the first thing that hit the pavement was his forehead. He wasn't resisting, wasn't fighting back, nothing. Then one of the cops dropped a knee on the guys back to pin him down while he handcuffed him. All the while the guy was like "what the hell did I do? At least tell me what I did!" The cops didn't answer him, but they were both laughing out loud. I was disgusted. It was so excessive. So I said out loud, "hey buddy, if you want a witness on your behalf, I'm your man." The bigger of the two cops came over and got about two inches from my face and asked me if I wanted to be next. I didn't budge or say a word, I just stared at the guy, nose to nose. He then smirked, looked me up and down, called me a "punk ass," and then went and threw the other guy into the back of his cruiser. Eff that.

I know there are plenty of good men and women in law enforcement in this country. However the incident I saw the other night is not even close to the first time I've seen that kind of meat head BS from police. IMO, cops are generally rude bullies. I'll even call out my own family on this one. My cousin is a sherriff in Virginia and he's a total jerk.

I hate to say this, but I always wonder when a cop gets killed, how many people he beat up or what did he do before he was shot. We know that wont get reported. You always hear how great of a person he or she was, but not how many people he shot or beat down no nothing.
