Bad Cop!! NO DONUT!!

For whatever reason, it seems that over-aggressive officers are turning up more and more often - whether this is simply because of new technology exposing a long-term problem or because there are more bad cops out there, or both...some of these REALLY need the light of day shined brightly upon them...in some instances followed by multiple legal air strikes.

This, my friends, is one of THOSE cases. Sit down, be sure you're not holding any liquids near the computer, hang on tight and watch the multiple offenses.



Now, BREATHE.

The video pretty much speaks for itself. What's next, however doesn't. The kids over at Ohio Concealed Carry are fighting back, helping "William" with his defense. Click through and make a donation.

From what I was hearing on GBC tonight, the City has offered to drop charges if "William" promises not to sue them - an offer declined (understandably, in my opinion) by the defense team.

Barring new data, I hope Canton gets sued into bankruptcy as an example to others.

Wouldn't mind a bit of confirmation on that. But what we do know, is that there apparently exists a very naughty cop that appears to be in deep need of becoming a non-cop, rather quickly.

I suggest re-posting of the video (with a link back here, if you're feeling gracious).
