This is one of those days when every story I post leads me to believe insanity is the primary mind set of the American people anymore.

The arrest of an Austin jogger on jaywalking charges earlier this week - dragged screaming to a police car after apparently failing to present ID properly - has become the stuff of viral video after a University of Texas at Austin student captured the incident.
.
Now, Austin's chief of police has weighed in, telling the public they should be glad his officers aren't treating people even worse.
.
"This person absolutely took something that was as simple as 'Austin Police - Stop!' and decided to do everything you see on that video," Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo said at a press conference Friday, according to Austin NPR station 90.5 KUT. "And quite frankly she wasn't charged with resisting. She's lucky I wasn't the arresting officer, because I wouldn't have been as generous. … In other cities there's cops who are actually committing sexual assaults on duty, so I thank God that this is what passes for a controversy in Austin, Texas," Acevedo said.
