What did you take?" At this point I was so angry I said "Two Tylenol and Tums!" He then says pointing the cough syrup bottle up.. "I believe you ingested this bottle" I turned and looked and said "Wow, a whole bottle of UNOPENED cough syrup!" He then looks at me strange... and boom they were gone so fast. I chuckle at this everyday. So I have a mixed opinion. But all these videos through the thread (except a few) look like brutality to me.
I've always had good personal experiences with the police. I think that has more to do with being a white woman living in suburbia than anything else. I saw a couple incidents in downtown Portland when we lived there, that looked rather like the videos here, so I know it happens. It's not that I think all police behave like those in this thread, but rather that those who do, appear to get away with it, that bothers me. No one, police in particular, should be above the law.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
