It's nice to know that they were prepared for war with a man who had an
offense in which the charges were dropped. It's also nice to know that they
immediately tried to save him after trying to kill him. Our police are just
so special. Hmmmm. I wonder if there will be any drugs found, or if this
will quietly slip into the background when it is determined that the whole
thing was bullshit?
