Put the salad down, or else...

I don't know about you all, but the cops seem a bit out of control? Don't they?


Danon Gale, 29, agreed to drop his $500,000 civil-rights lawsuit in exchange for prosecutors dropping five of six charges filed against him. He pleaded no contest to disturbing the peace.

The city will pay his legal and medical bills -- but Gale still has to pay a fine. "I was wrongfully arrested, beat up, Tasered, and now a $500 fine," he said.


If I was on a jury, I'd have given the guy $500,000 for some bull like that. I bet there was about two or three car loads of cops there to do all that too. I wonder if anyone was robbed or raped while those cops were beating the shit out of a guy for using the wrong plate at Chuck-e Cheese?
