ReplyDeleteCasting Stones arent we Lynlee? Headline shoud read: Drunken Disorderly, Confused Man knocks on door thinking he was home, Instead knocked on Public Officals door, leading to his arrest and beating. Now I want our streets cleaned up just as much as anyone else and I understand everyone being on edge due to all the robberies. Our Peace Officers are here to help not beat someone senseless. They are trained to handle these kind of situation. So you see dear there are two sides to every coin.
