You want to change this into a Cop bashing thread? What about the cop who tasered the 72 year old lady? What about the other cop who got into a fight with the EMT? Cops, by and large, still stink(individually and collectively), but they did a pretty good job last night. You've got to give them credit for showing some restraint, while I'm sure a lot of you wanted to see them crack skulls.
