A small amount of hyperbole...

But if you want to pick on Alaska fine:

This was with the cameras rolling on Alaska State Troopers tv show.

Some kind of snowmobile event lots of people camping out, riding snow mobiles and drinking.

A guy gets hurt, has a cut on his face, not too bad but a cut. A trooper goes up to him and offers medical treatment. The guy refuses. The trooper touches him. The guy says “don’t touch me”. The trooper touches him again. The guy again says “don’t touch me.” The officer gets rough and really really touches him. The guy punches the trooper in the face. Guy is swarmed, subdued and off to jail he goes. They interview the officer afterwards and he looks all hurt and says he was “just trying to help and the guy was non compliant”. The officer goes on to ruminate that unfortunately in Alaska assaulting a Police Officer is only a misdemeanor and it was just too damn bad they couldn’t charge this guy with a felonie. He said all this while looking all butt hurt.

This was done with the cameras rolling. What is wrong with the culture of Law Enforcement everywhere? The perp told him to leave him alone and Officer friendly took a bad situation and made things worst. If the Officer had just backed off and let the hurt guy get over the pain and shock he probably would have sought the medical attention. But this wanna be tough guy couldn’t take “non compliance.

That’s just one story of a small incident. But that incident is indicative of what is wrong with Law Enforcement in this country.

I could relate scores of much more violent and disturbing incidents like this but I just don’t want to write that much and you don’t want to read that much.

“We” have the Police we deserve.

You do have a problem with hyperbole, not to mention spelling.

Is an assualt against me by a cop a felony? No? Same standard applies. Alaska gets it apparently.
