Tell us what you'd buy if you had a dollar for every time you heard or read the word "taser" today.
I'm thinking I'd buy a 1913 Liberty Head nickel, a Lamborghini, 15% of Microsoft and a seven-bedroom house.

;)

You?

9. Yeah, I am sick of it.
The cops overreacted in my opinion and the kid was 100 percent right for trying to get the truth.
Didn't really see the whole thing go down but from what I saw that's what I think.

But enough already.

11. I agree with all of that but would add
that Kerry impressed the hell out of me for doing his best to hear the jerk out.

Still, you've got people in the other forums on both sides, with so many acting as if their point can be the only possible one. I side with you, but neither of us saw it all or know for sure.
