Hey, I'm all for giving cops far more leeway to do their jobs-- after all, they put their lives on the line for us every day. But for crying out loud, get the S.O.B. back to the preceint house first, <i>then</i> smack the crap outta him behind closed doors.
Haven't they learned that when chasing down a suspect, the second one of them lets loose with his nightstick, there is most likely a camera aimed right at them?
