You think the station > was wrong to broadcast this latest "police beating." Why? *Stupid Americans* thrive on disasters, car crashes, Daytime Television programming, "professional" wrestling, roller derby and several other flavors of TV junk food. This is OK however, as we need such easily-led sheepeople to do the more simple tasks of industrial and service based employment endeavors. Channel 6 did not, however, need to continue to harp on this thing like Channel 3 and 10 have been doing. This is OK however as, thank the stars above, we still have Channel 12 and National Public Radio. Two refuges from the utterly bad media. I hope Channel 6 can reclaim itself as the only intellegent source of local news and objective broadcast journalism after all of this flack over a suspect being rightfully apprehended for a reheprensible act. > So the police did the *absolute right thing* and beat him 59 times > after they shot him five times?

Capicsum Oil sprayed into the face via aerosol propellant can bring down even the largest and most dullard members of society. This is the only tactic I feel the Police should have done as an alternate. Apply the chemical mace, then handcuff the suspect. 1-2-3.
