No. This isn't some Hollywood idiot mouthing off in yet another State worshipping movie.
It's an actual quote, from a Sheriff of Boward County.
Here - check it out for yourself.
And these are the people who are tasked "to protect and serve"?
Un-fucking-believable.
How else do you think incidents like these are possible:
MOBILE, Ala. — Police in Mobile, Ala., used pepper spray and a Taser on a deaf, mentally disabled who they said wouldn't leave a store's bathroom.
The family of 37-year-old Antonio Love has filed a formal complaint over the incident on Friday.
Police tell the Press-Register of Mobile that officers shot pepper spray under the bathroom door after knocking several times. After forcing the door open, they used the stun gun on Love.
Police spokesman Christopher Levy says police didn't realize Love had a hearing impairment until after he was out of the bathroom. The officers' conduct is under investigation.
The newspaper says the officers attempted to book Love on charges including disorderly conduct, but a magistrate on duty wouldn't accept the charges.

What I especially loved was that the cops wanted to press charges - including the ubiquitous "disorderly conduct". How the hell was that 'disorderly conduct'?
"Shit. Or get off the pot (or else)?"
I'm glad there seems to be at least one magistrate with just a lick of sense left in him to refuse the charges.
Dum Spiro, Pugno!
