Many years ago, children, in the 1990s, police officers filmed beating on folks were front-page news across America. (For the record? We didn’t care for that sort of thing.) In the era of compassionate conservativism and John Ashcroft, however, you’ll have to read about it from the UK. (UPDATE: The guy who shot the video has been arrested in LA; the police say it’s unrelated to the video. Sure. Unrelated. Just happened to see the guy and know about stuff in Placer County, and thought we’d bring him in. LA’s fucking finest, ladies and gentlemen — without even the wit to do their dirty business somewhere besides IN FRONT OF THE CNN AFFILIATE. And they carry firearms!)
