Every few months there is a big story about police brutality. The media shows film footage of a struggle on the ground and a police officer hitting a guy who he is trying to get into handcuffs or into the back of a cruiser. The next scene is a woman crying on the side of the street talking about how long she has known this nice boy who was doing nothing wrong.
Nothing wrong except selling crack... which is still in his pocket... running from the police... calling him a pig and resisting arrest.
I get why the CRIMINAL is running. No one likes to get caught doing something wrong. It's not right but I at least understand the mentality. What I don't get is why there is always a neighbor who stands in the rain crying defending him.
Two brief lessons for all of you with picket signs chanting for the dismissal of the arresting officer - who is most likely home with a concussion.
Lesson number one. STOP RUNNING FROM THE POLICE.
Lesson number two. Stop defending people who are destroying your neighborhood.

I can always depend on you not holding back.

I once heard a cop say that someone he arrested said "It's been a long time since I fought or ran from the PO-lice." Sure enough, he did both, and wound up dead. Was that really the better alternative to a night in jail?
