Sorry you had to feel the flashlight.  That was unnecessary, AFAIAC.
The officer should have been suspended or something.

You are right.  It is pretty sorry, but expected.  Very corrupt folks
down there...
When I worked at Cobb, none of those folks would have been

but I see that now, even they allow misdemeanors.  It is crazy.
