Man, I would love to smack that cop's head with the bottom of my shoe!! Those guys in the background enjoying the show were really pissing me off too.

That poor individual. I'm sure whatever his crime was that it did not deserve that. That, right there, is the the definition of "Police Brutality"

Awful.

That's so freakin' disgusting!!

As I write this I look over and see "this blog is anti torture" slogan...maybe those asshole cops need a little more training on Human conduct. Animals don't even torture other animals.

Whatever
