Ridiculous. Outrageous. Heinous. Reminds me of that new Samuel Jackson movie, Lakeview Terrace. Crazy cops.

With all due respect to the few very fine peace officers across the country, I''ve known exactly one (out of many) that I thought was an upstanding citizen in their own right and someone I would trust in a crisis. Exactly one. And that''s quite an indictment coming from a law-abiding middle-aged woman who has never been on the wrong side of The Law.

There really is no justification for this kind of behavior. Unfortunately, it''s hardly an isolated incident; a quick read through internet headlines will assure us of that.

Houston residents need to demand the immediate firing of said officers. Without further investigation, because it isn''t warranted. Any maybe their superiors, all the way to the mayor.

Fired, given a fair trial and if convicted which they should be thrown in jail but it will never happen because that would look bad for the police state.

I know a couple good cops that do the best they can at a crappy job and try to do the right thing but because of the bad ones out there I do not trust any cops.
The feds are the worst of the bunch.
