THE BURNED OVER DISTRICT

In the case of the guy who died after being tasered, we got more details in the local fishwrap. He was 6 feet tall, 250 pounds, and was whipping the ass of three other cops at the time (as in, he had two of them down already and was finishing off the third). Frankly, he was a dead man as soon as that fourth cop arrived at the scene, because if that fourth cop hadn't had a taser, he would certainly have pulled his service weapon out and emptied his magazine into this crazy dude.

As for the black girl attacked by the three undercover cops in Galveston, any sensible person seeing what was going down would have decided that she was being kidnapped to serve as fresh meat in a child prostitution ring. And don't say that three white Galveston cops in plainclothes wouldn't be involved in that -- Galveston cops are as corrupt as Mexican cops, half of them are in the pay of one crime lord or another. But that ole' blue wall of silence has circled 'round big-time and it's being backed up by the city administration because, well, the (now fourteen-year-old) girl and her father are black, and we gotta keep the nigras in their place y'know? And yes, the white power structure in Galveston really *is* that racist, still. We're talking about a city where the white sections of town get their garbage picked up first and the black sections of town get their garbage picked up only if there's some extra room left in the garbage trucks after they're done with the white sections of town. That's Galveston.

Indeed, the only surprising thing about the Galveston deal is that three cops are gonna admit that they got fought off by a twelve year old girl, who ran like the devil once her father ran out and tackled the men who were attacking her (she apparently is a track athlete and the cops are typical donut-snarfers who couldn't outrun a wheezing asthmatic). What a buncha pussies.
