From the Horse's Mouth

I didn't post the link to the video or the video itself, but if you hit any of the Regular Stops links in the right-hand column in the last three days you would have encountered the outrageous video of law-enforcement malfeasance in Canton OH. It is an officer run amok and should frighten not only the citizens of Ohio but throughout the nation. It can happen in your town.

To read an excellent analysis of the video visit Warrior Class here:

I respect and support law enforcement. I've never encountered a less-than-professional officer and I surely can understand the stress of working in some of the neighborhoods and with some of the people they face. But we must recognize that there can be a lot of problems festering. Without involved leadership and supervision they can rapidly get out of hand.

It's a good thing they relieved the officer from his employment - can you imagine the mayhem that would've ensued at the next NFL HOF induction, with all of those football players in town?

They all packin'!

Seriously, though, that guy clearly has issues.
