Mothers, don’t taze your children

Watch out when you’re in Arkansas, kiddies. Mind your mamas or they might have the police come TAZE YOU.

It happened earlier this month to a 10-year-old, whose mother had called the police because the girl was “on the floor of the house screaming and crying.” Haven’t we all been there? And when the little girl wouldn’t calm down and obey her mother, mommy told the nice police officer to use his taser. Which he did.

Glory be praised, I think we’ve found a new “baby sitter” to replace the TV. Taze the little wretches into submission!

Saddest State in the South?

South Carolina, of course! It’s been quite a busy year for the leaders of South Carolina. First, Governor Mark Sanford, who was supposed to be hiking the Appalachian Trail, was actually meeting his mistress in Argentina. On the taxpayer’s bill. Then Joe Wilson infamously shouted “You lie!” at the POTUS. Then some no-name state ASSISTANT Attorney General outdoes them both in a drugs-hooker-cemetery trifecta of awesomeness! Or sickness, depending on your point of view. Roland Corning was pulled over as he and an 18 year old ”employee of Platinum Plus Gentlemen’s Club” were leaving a local cemetery.

When the police searched his car:

The search revealed a sex enhancement drug and some sex toys. According to the report, Corning told [Officer] Wines he had a prescription for the medication and the other items were always in the car “just in case.” [The State]

Kudos on your candidness, sirrah! For that, we’ll just forget this incident ever happened. And if anyone asks, we’ll keep insisting that the POLICE OFFICER DID NOTHING WRONG. Wtf?? That is seriously in several different articles. Who was the dude having sex in the cemetery and running away from the police? CORNING. But let’s make sure everyone understands “there is no indication of any wrongdoing of the officer.” [The State]

And either the craziness is spreading, or this lady wants to get in on the South-of-the-border action. Congratulations, Virginia. You’ve spread the shame across both Carolinas.

Senseless killing, brainless rioters

An young, unarmed black man was killed by a transit cop in Oakland on New Year’s Day. Since cops kill people every day, young black men especially, this might not seem too crazy. But there are several cell phone videos of the incident that show Oscar Grant was belly to the ground, waiting to be cuffed, when the officer shot him point-blank in the back.

Por ejemplo:

Then the riots started. Of course people are pissed off and want to rage against the system. Great! We can do that! But does it make sense to smash windows of black-owned businesses? And smash up cars that belong to people JUST LIKE YOU? I submit that it does NOT. You are supposed to rage against THE MACHINE, not your neighbors. Duh.
