Even blind old ladies terrify the cops

SNIP

How vicious and ugly can the Portland police get? Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have a winner. This 2003 case is so blatant, the use of force so excessive, the threat of liability so intimidating that the city just approved a $145,000 settlement.

But all those gung-ho fans of the cops can relax. Nothing has changed. Nothing will upset the status quo.

The cops aren't apologizing.

The cops aren't embarrassed.

The cops haven't been disciplined.

1. I would NEVER settle.

Not until they admitted wrong doing, and apologized.

No amount of money would make me.

This is an abomination.

2. I thought this was a joke

I cant believe that. Could there be more to this story? If they sprayed and zapped a pair of old women without some reason, they should be brought up on charges, not just fired.

That is crazy

3. Portland cops bad = all cops bad

aw, come on. I'm sure some of our law enforcement RKBAers would disagree with that statement -

But all those gung-ho fans of the cops can relax...

upon those individual officers the title of "Grand High Not Suited To Be a Cop Assclown".
