(14,990 posts)the average 11 year old just be picked up entirely and thereby immobilized by the average school cop? Where does the body-slam-necessity come into the equation?

(14,860 posts)The headline might make you think the cop simply knocked the kid down, but he did not. He picked him up entirely, and then threw him down hard onto the pavement.

(32,714 posts)Mention the Constitution and its protections and every cop around will role his or her eyes. Charge a cop and they will literally scream about their rights.
When the Dept. has to pay and break the budget, the asshole sheriff will be back to being a rent-a-cop at the mall. We get to elect the sheriffs and the mayors that hire the chief of police.
