Jon- WE are living in caves?? HA.
I know just what I'd expect if I threw a punch at the arresting officer. I'd expect him to defend himself, to subdue me asap, to cuff me, and then to drag my sorry butt off to jail. I would *not* expect him to go on beating me, with help from another officer, when I was restrained and defenseless. You are talking about a cave-man mentality. I find it ironic that you are calling us cavepersons. -Ben > Happens every day...living in caves you all are.
