    how about this one? this one doesn't involve handcuffing an 11 year old for safety sake

    The guy was freaking out. Cops tried to subdue him and were unsuccessful. After a taser resulted in a 'flukey' bodily fire because he was holding a lighter... "An officer was able to pat the fire out. Tingler, still refusing to get into the squad car, punched the officer in the face and was hit a second time with a stun gun."

    Excatly what did the cops do wrong in your eyes except be cops?
    other than the fact that I don't agree with police having the authority to electrocute people, nothing, I just wanted to post a cop story handcuffing an adult instead of a child. I thought some would find it reassuring that instead of being killed by a stun gun the guy was only set on fire.
    so they can't taser and i assume you are against them shooting people.  would a nightstick be ok?  if not i'd sure as heck like to know how a cop should subdue perps.

    Required Jedi training would resolve this problem.

    I agree, there's a thread for these issues, it's pretty trolly (especially with context) to try to hijack this thread .

    Not trying to give it a spin but part of me thinks it is fake news. I mean really, how can that be real .  What is going on in the US that a citizen would do this?

    Oh man, when I think about Rick James and how he and Neil Young started out back in the Mynah Birds days and then went on to do some of the other cool stuff he did and then how hard he fell until found dead with that massive cocktail of meds and drugs in his system.  Major bummer.  I always had hoped he'd beat that shit.

    There's a news story floating around facey spacey that Elvis's homeless 80 year old body was found dead under an overpass in Cali I think it said. That Elvis had met President Nixon and wanted out of his life and Nixon let Elvis voluntarily enter the witness protection program. That Elvis had been in the program since 77. 

    Facepalm!
    Oh please let it rain today.
