"What shall be done with the four million slaves if they are emancipated? ... Primarily, it is a question less for man than for God -- less for human intellect than for the laws of nature to solve. It assumes that nature has erred; that the law of liberty is a mistake; that freedom, though a natural want of the human soul, can only be enjoyed at the expense of human welfare, and that men are better off in slavery than they would or could be in freedom; that slavery is the natural order of human relations, and that liberty is an experiment. What shall be done with them? Our answer is, do nothing with them; mind your business, and let them mind theirs. Your doing with them is their greatest misfortune. They have been undone by your doings, and all they now ask, and really have need of at your hands, is just to let them alone. They suffer by every interference, and succeed best by being let alone." ~ Frederick Douglass
Cop Tasers 10-Year-Old Boy After Refusing To Clean His Patrol Car
I thought this had to be a joke, but after finding it reported on dozens of apparently reputable sites it unfortunately looks like it's true.
Oh, it was an accident. And the thug was suspended for 3 days!

What do I think? My first thought is "are you sh!##in' me?!" As a former law enforcement officer (20 years, US Army Military Police), I can't even ~imagine~ an act this stupid occurring. Moreover, I can't imagine this officer not all but spontaneously combusting under the rain of fire that ~should~ have fallen on him from his chain of command, much less ~still being employed~ months later when the lawsuit hit. Unfortunately, this seems to be exactly the kind of insanity that's becoming commonplace these days.
