    Another case of cops coming off like total assholes. Two nurses and Dr. Jackson were trying to help a kid having a seizer when cops showed up to “help”…. According to a witness…

    “Shouse said she and another family member, who is also a nurse, were attending to the girl when Jackson, who is an ER physician, stepped in to assist. Shouse said she didn’t know Jackson was a congressman at the time but told CNN they were all working together to help the teen girl.

    “We were just waiting for EMS to get there. The police came up, the deputies, highway patrol, and everyone was just screaming, ‘Get back, get back, get back,’” she said during an interview.

    Shouse said she was pushed back and then punched in the chest by a woman and said she saw a law enforcement official screaming in Jackson’s face, telling him to “Get the f**k back.”

    “He was trying to tell them that he was a doctor and probably trying to tell him who he was, to be honest. And they were screaming that they did not effing care who he was,” she said. “And the next thing I knew, they had him on the ground, grabbed him by the shirt, threw him on the ground, face first into the concrete and had him in cuffs.”

    Cops pretending to be smarter that medical experts without even knowing what the hail is going on is a scary thing.

    What is even worse though? CNN only releases cops are bad stories. Where are the cop heroes articles?

    Oh, any time Pravda West can make cops look bad they will. We know there far more decent cops than bad ones. And these cops might not even be bad, they just rushed in too fast not knowing the situation.

    There’s this thing called Google….

    Also local TV.

    I saw a story last month on CNN where a some cops in Miami rescued a man and a toddler from a canal in Miami. You wouldn’t know cause you’re too busy watching RT TV

    Why didn’t you start a thread?
    You’re a police hater.

    LOL. Same reason I don’t start a thread on heroic nurse saves patient”. It’s their job. I’m fair to cops even though I think there’s a big % who are rotten and unfit for the job (morally and mentally). For instance that cop who was being prosecuted over the Parkland shooting? Ridiculous, he was under no obligation to go into a kill zone, armed with a pistol with vs a guy with a weapon of war (see what I did there?). But man on man if I hear a story of psychotic nurse kills aging patients by lethal injection”. I’m going to post the hell out of that.

    His mistake was not yelling "Hey! I'm a Republican!"

    LOL like most reasonable people, I like it when bad things happen to bad people. This is a little disappointing though. I was hoping they’d taze his balls. I suspect Ronnie actually enjoys a little handcuffs action…

    Terrible take. The same cops would do the same exact thing to an innocent someone in your family.

    Would you then be displeased? Not to mention they interrupted care being given to a kid apparently having a seizure.

    Some things are objectively wrong and viewing them only through a partisan lens makes you part of the problem, not the solution.

    I guess that is the difference between you and me and mostly the left and right. I think your political views are asinine and not good for this country, but I don't think you are evil for thinking that way, we just have differing views. But I see if you don't conform to your way you must be evil. Sad way to live.
