From The Department Of Can You Believe This

Civil liberties seemed to be about as good of fit as I could come up with for this since it is a little off the beaten path.

I was reading another article and saw this in a sidebar. Down in Florida (where else) police directed a random woman to scoop up the horse manure from one of the horses they were riding. And they could care less who all was looking on. Talk about Big Brother! Too bad the video didn't start several seconds sooner. No word on whether the offending officers were disciplined.

But now in the smart phone and internet era it gets captured on film and widely dispensed. This is incredibly offensive so I told myself, give it a wider audience. If only 100 people view this and a handful of those pass it on.... mission accomplished.
