[Alas Babylon!]

Actually, and scarier even, this beat-down happened two years ago, and the officers involved are STILL on duty.

From the article:

Still, nearly two years later neither the CHP nor the state Attorney General’s office will confirm whether or not the officers involved were ever disciplined for their actions, citing the law officer’s bill of rights.

Gee, that bill of rights must trump the US Constitution's amendments 1-10! I think the OFFICER'S bill of rights include Article 3, "Citizen's who show disrespect or disobey an officer are scheduled for road side beat downs. All they have to do to avoid such correction (as deemed necessary by the officer) is fully comply. If there is a question of whether the officer is wrong, refer to Article 1."

Article 1. "An officer is never wrong. If you don't agree, he will beat you to an inch of your life."
