Badges and costumes don't give cops special rights. They draw down on you unlawfully, you have a right to defend yourself.

he has a long and checkered past; the republicans kicked him out of their caucus and he became a libertarian; he didn't run for re-election because he couldn't get petition signatures or something

no one should be paying attention to him

The worst thing was he refused to resign, and basically told everyone to go fuck themselves.

I don't know many people who voted for him here.
