JPFO sends word of more police excess, this time from a small department in West Allis, Wisconsin.Read it all.
Law?
We're the po-lice.
We don't need no stinking law.
We're the thin blue line -- the only thing separating you filthy civilians from chaos.
Aren't we?

In military terms, this would be called a "probe" to ascertain the enemy's ability to withstand an attack at a particular point.

If enough people who've been arrested and charged with bulls**t would plead, "not guilty" and demand a jury trial, the court systems would be jammed up for the next thousand years.
