About time, the police were finally allowed to do their job last night and nobody died or dozens of businesses looted and/or burned. Already a media report of a cop spraying an irritant in a protester's face in a clear case of police brutality. And here I thought, what a wimp he didn't even tap the guy once with his nightstick...

Have that in my county, too. Someone a few of you have met was visiting friends out of town, and got home about 40 minutes into curfew last night. Said it was enjoyable driving on the interstate with almost no traffic and never even saw a police car - I'm glad about that, they said violating curfew could be a thousand dollar fine.

He threw himself to the ground when he didn't want to be put in back of the cruiser. Combination of heart, drugs and stress did him in. The cop was an *** how he handled it though. Has any of that been reported?

Another thing that I only saw mentioned briefly was that the cop and the dead guy both worked as bouncers in the same bar, so they probably knew each other. You'd think the cop would have given him a break for that, makes me think a grudge or personal problem may have been involved.

Boy don’t I know it !. What started as a simple wheel bearing repack and seal replacement, turned into, spring bushings, brake linings and a shock absorber kit !.
