Why do you think that is, Eric? More misbehaved liberals on campus than in the past? :-) Please tell us what you think - I'm sure you have a link. Something I didn't bother to bring up previously, but now has been brought up over the death of the woman in Phoenix...........there have been cases when someone who has been put on their stomach asphyxiates and dies. It happened on a plane last year with an 18 year old guy and there have been numerous incidents over the years. What they are finding is when you put someone on their stomach and hold them down while you put on handcuffs, the natural instinct for anyone is to try to get up.....like with the guy in FLA. Of course, the more they try the more the police try to hold them down. Eventually, the person on the ground can't breathe and dies from a lack of air. I personally had the experience when I was pledging a fraternity in college and they threw me down and try to bind my arms with rope. I felt like I was suffocating. I am telling all this knowing that you probably won't believe it, and even if you did, you wouldn't care. But that doesn't mean I won't continue to object to the heavy handed methods of the police in this country.
