McRae says he did nothing wrong.

Ya know he must be right. When did it become illegal to beat the crap outta another human being who's different and scares the hell ouuta you. After all, the other guy held her!!

Good grief, there simply is no justice anymore! *sigh*

Just in case, that was sarcasm, guys.

Shelby Country has long been a very bad place to be arrested in, no matter who you are. 

Not that there is a good place to be arrested.

True that, but rural Mississippi has been worse. Shelby is just the metropolis of the small town rural Mississippians.

I am getting sick and tired of hearing about these police officers beating people left and right...

Where the heck do they get these people??

Not EVERYTHING requires a good beating

That would actually be a bad beating... 

I went to TN once..... once. And yes, the overall reaction to my then middle of the road appearance was pretty bad. No beatings but I did have my plate of food slammed down on the table in front of me by the waitress. She dropped the check off in the same move. No, guess I will not be having anything else today, thankyosoverymuch.
