We called the Fairfax County police for help....the punks they sent threatened to arrest us. One cop tells my wife that if she keeps crying he'll arrest her and the other cop, La Forge or something, says to me "You call the police this what you get" I said that was wrong and he said "Go ahead, say more fuck'n thing prick" and I thought "Well if you insist".
Does this sound right to you?
A Fairfax County cop says his police cruiser was struck by another car on Gallows Road when the driver ran a stop sign. The cops say the car struck the cop car in the back quarter panel, making the cruiser spin and strike a utility pole. The cop car has a smashed tail light. The driver then fled the scene. The only description the cops have is that the car was a dark four-door sedan.
So the cop didn’t get a license plate, a make or model of the car and he didn’t chase the bad guy?
Yeah…well….you know…that could happen.
No really, it could happen.

Today's police brutality reports
A Providence Police Department internal investigation is underway following an incident early Sunday morning that left a local man with injuries that he claims were caused by a police officer. Eric Rodriquez, 27, showed Target 12 2 black eyes and several scrapes and bruises on his face and body. He says a police officer stopped him while he was walking on Potters Avenue near Harriet Street, just before 1 in the morning on Sunday. "I still don't know why they stopped me. And I didn't deserve this," Rodriguez says, referring to his injuries. "At one point, my eyes were swollen shut, worse than they are now. He hit me repeatedly in the face, and then moved my face to the other side and hit me repeatedly on that side"
