Looks to me like the biggest "thugs" are the cops themselves . . .

It began when Bill objected to a government utility crew who was trying to dig around on his property.

He got inside his tractor and drove down to meet the government workers in order to ask them to leave his property.

But before he could get them to leave, police suddenly arrived — apparently there to defend the government workers.

Moments later, Bill was pulled from his tractor and taken to the ground, his wife says.

1. Which is why "being rude to cops" is not a crime.

Cops need to have patience. They need to use the appropriate level of force for the crime that is suspected. In this case, it seems there was no crime, just aggravation that he "wasn't listening to us." "Not listening" (in this case not hearing) does not justify a beat down. Ever.

What the fuck is wrong with cops? I mean seriously. They need to get a grip.

2. We need to decorate and recognize cops who do NOT resort to force.

There should be a medal bestowed on someone who has had a long run of finding non-violent solutions.
