    Doing things outside is a therapy in itself.

    As the recipient of 3 plates and 27 screws in one shot. She won’t feel much now. Only thing I ever noticed was the screws were a tender spot for a couple years but it was my hip not hand. She will be a little stiff for a while is all.

    She has bad joints, 4 hip replacements, and her finger joints went bad too, not fixable so they go inside and glue the joints together and screw a brace onto the bone to keep her fingers straight instead of the different bones breaking off. She cannot bend them, one after the other over the last decade or two, last week was the very last bendable finger. Her thumbs too, but they cut the tendons so she can atleast bend them from her palm.

    Her favorite joke was when she had her middle finger done in one hand, the splint after surgery was hilarious :rofl: :lol:

    His grand children should get cops badge number and push that officer down. Then set up a number for bail $$ to be donated and legal fees.

    Don’t get me wrong I know and respect many LEOs but that profession seems to attract some who have little man syndrome!

    That was excessive, yes. The guy also should not have approached the cops like that. Whatever that motion he made close to their bodies/ waists..he definitely should not have done that.

    I'm not saying I trust all cops, heck I do my best to not have to deal with any if I don't have to... But I respect them for the job they have to do, and dang sure know better than to act stupid just because I think I can... I sure am glad that I don't have to do their job right now (heck, their job most of the time)...I'm certain I would be unemployed or worse.

    The video I saw looked like he asked to be pushed. The officers did not take him to the ground; he just got in their face and they shoved him.

    The only part I did not like is that they did not see if he was okay after he fell.

    Sorry, but if you get in the face of a police officer, you are asking for problems.

    This is on the heels of an officer getting stabbed in the neck. Yesterday, I believe.

    Still, he should have helped the person up, and check for injuries.

    As in most professions, it only takes a few, to give all others a bad rep.

    He had stopped and put his hand out but another officer gave him a little push and it looked like was told to move on. That officer looked like he was telling other officers to leave him there.
