Copwatch

This week seems to be the gift that keeps on giving. This evening brings with it a story from Seattle, Washington. An African-American bystander strolls by a pro-Palestinian demonstration. A white man is heckling the protesters and screaming racial slurs at them. At some point, he directs his aggressiveness at the bystander. A cop comes along, and pepper-sprays... that's right, you guessed it.

And then, we have a story from Tampa, Florida, where the police... why do I bother? A YouTube video is worth a thousand words.
