what country is this?
June 30th, 2009 |TPM:
Because he had my name and I had identified myself as the homeowner, I asked why he would need my date of birth. He told me I was under arrest, grabbed my right arm, twisted it behind me and threw me on the ground. Some of the 25 or so people who were still in attendance observed what was happening and started asking the deputy what was going on. My partner, Jane Stratton, asked him to please be careful as I had recently had right shoulder surgery. His response was to knock her to the ground. At this point, some of the guests attempted to come to my aid and to Ms. Stratton’s. Without warning the deputy started pepper spraying everyone, even those who were simply standing in the area. All of this happened in a matter of minutes.
A deputy needs to be fired.
Who is the bigger threat to our liberty, criminals or cops?

All too common abuse of power.
Cops who ignore civil rights are criminals.
People who answer questions with a question deserve a beat down…..
