I liked hearing this one from Nikki Haley each time I heard her speak numerous times:

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/202 ... rsing-home

Nikki Haley calls US Senate ‘most privileged nursing home in the country’

Former South Carolina governor says of Mitch McConnell, who has twice frozen in public, ‘you have to know when to leave’

I couldn’t find this State Dept Briefing on C-Span, Vinny. Maybe in the future?

Watching now.

The police person was extremely thorough in reading and explaining the rights and is being highly professional throughout.

The perpetrator did not deny. Came clean.

Hard to believe he gets arrested and handcuffed for this?

Handcuffs probably weren’t necessary,I agree, but aren’t they standard procedure for an arrest? An arrest was absolutely necessary given that was a f _ _ _ _ y.

I do hope that if I ever get arrested for anything the future that it is by someone like that police person. He could not have handled it any better or professionally.

I've encountered too many police / security type people who display what I call polite hostility.

Their words are all polite but delivered in a thoroughly hostile tone.

The cops have always been nice to me, but I’ve never been in trouble with them except for having beer on campus, and those were just campus cops.
I recall — hopefully accurately — Medium Tex writing about being harassed as a young man with long hair in Texas. It was in the context of Americans being violent. At the time I thought maybe he was watching too many analyses of The Shining but I have come to agree.

The thread here, ‘When the Cops are the Criminals’ was an eye opener.

I have a lot of stories to tell but just one here.

When I saw Joan Jett live in 1994 ... after the show there was a problem with some people in the crowd. The police went way over the line in their actions. So much so that one of the concert security was trying to pull one of the police off a kid. To my friend and my amazement ... the police arrested the security person!

My friend and I briefly discussed it and mutually decided we go to security to tell them we were willing to be witnesses in court to what we'd seen, which we later did.

After we testified there was no further communications with either of us as to what took place in the trial.

Three years later I was at the same place for another music event (the place is now a Six Flaggs) and I thought I was seeing that same security person doing security.

I asked if he was and he said yes. Then I told him I'd testified on his behalf and asked him how it turned out. He was smiling and his words were: "It all got taken care of." That was all of I ever found out about the case.

Good man.
My boss thought so also so it was a paid day for me. Not for my friend since he was self-employed.
