"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
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.
