Unemployment rising in this case is a good thing, it means more people are returning to the job market instead of drinking Rize and sleeping on conference room tables, their heads gently nuzzling an issue of Butt magazine.

Stupid cop. Hope he gets jail time. (He won't, but one can dream...)

Perhaps Tim Burgess could come up with a law to punish brutal cops who assault innocent people and scream racist slurs at them. No. He'd rather bring the hammer down on everyday people.

Sure am glad our lives are all tied to the stock market! Makes me sleep safe and sound at night. *ahhhhh*

No doubt fnarf will show up praising the cops for their courageous behavior.

@ 5, or show up some morons who think everything with cops is black and white.

@6 Perhaps you can tell us all about the bad day the poor cop was having.

@6 The cop is on video threatening a compliant detainee with a racial slur prior to kicking him in the head. There's just no excuse for that. That cop is doing a disservice to all of the good police in the department. Making excuses for him doesn't do anyone any good.
