Police Taser Man With A Chicken!
Yeah, yeah. Everybody is talking about the guy in Florida who got tasered at a John Kerry "concert". Big deal. In Sheboygan, Wisconsin they tasered a man with a chicken!
SHEBOYGAN, Wis. – A man faces a number of charges, including drug possession, after a traffic stop in which he was stunned several times with a Taser and police found a live chicken.
Is that the most confused sentence the AP has put out in a while or what? Anyway, the arrest itself sounds like an old Mack Sennett movie:
According to Sheboygan police, the incident started about 2 a.m. Friday when an officer spotted Brown involved in a potential drug deal and tried to stop him. The man threw a pack of cigarettes out of his car window and tried to run. The pack was found to have contained more than an ounce of cocaine, authorities said.
An officer pursued Brown, caught him, punched him in the head and knocked him to the ground, authorities said, but he tried to run again. A second officer zapped both men with a stun gun as they were struggling, and Brown again before he was handcuffed.
Just guessing, but I assume there are some hard feelings between the first cop and the second one after that incident. We had no idea chickens developed that high a voltage.
(By the way, for the serious story, Michelle Malkin has a very good roundup.)

The kid has a history of writing ridiculous stuff on the sports page of the campus paper and is notorious for his grandstanding on campus; not that that is a tasering offense. But he continued to resist arrest even after the cops had him surrounded. I go with the police using non-lethal force if this guy got up and tried to escape, as he did in the beginning.
I think he wants to get into Columbia School of Journalism where misfits and attention-seekers like him congregate. They love attitude problem students who cheat on open-book ethics exams—takes a lot of ingenuity to do that!
Over on Huff Puff, Naomi is calling for a Revolution at this massive injustice. I guess she identifies with this sort of self-absorbed scam artist.
