>"Maybe he could've done something different, but then we all could looking at any situation we've been in"
It's different when you are PAID and TRAINED to diffuse violent situations. You don't get to fall back on the "I could have handled that better" excuse. >"She felt the cop acted within the law and so case closed." I didn't realize your wife got the final say in all matters police-brutality. My apologies. Let's extrapolate a bit - if she slapped him in the face (inexcusable, 100%) and he pulled out his baton and smashed her in the face, would that be ok? What if he shot her? There has to be a limit and a right way to handle yourself when you are wearing a badge. Punching anyone, a woman, man, baby, seal, baby seal, lolcat, whatever, is not apprehending a suspect, it is engaging them in a fight. That is not police work, that is a thug in action. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:337013 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
