Black Friday turned into hand to hand combat.

And I managed to make to and from 71st & Memorial without getting my donkey kicked by a cop. Dodged a bullet, I guess.

Probably worry about more then getting donkey-kicked by the popo during the Xmas shopping season in that area....

I'd just like to let you know that your sarcastic non sequitur really brightened my day. It was a hoot.

And in Arizona:

'They grabbed the guy, body planted him into the ground -- face shatters on concrete. That's a hard concrete floor inside Walmart,' Skylar Stone, who said he witnessed the entire exchange, told Fox 10 in Phoenix. Police counter witnesses statements and say Mr Newman resisted arrest and began to flail when an officer tried to handcuff him.

(CNN) -- An Arizona man lay handcuffed and non-responsive on the floor of a Walmart on Black Friday, as his emotional grandson stood nearby.

The grandson, Nicholas Nava, told CNN affiliate KNXV that Newman had grabbed one video game and put it under his shirt so that others jostling for the game didn't take it from him. One person alerted a police officer, who then approached Newman.
David Chadd, a CNN iReporter from Las Vegas, was among those shopping for video games set up in the Walmart's grocery section in a mass of people. He said Newman "was not resisting" arrest as he was led away from the crowd by a police officer.
The officer, Chadd said, then suddenly hooked the suspect around the leg, grabbed him and "slammed him face first into the ground."

Do you use a specific "police brutality" button on The Google or something?

I can tell you that the Buckey Police spend a lot of time at that Walmart because of shoplifting and gang activity, and the Buckeye PD is not one you want to cross paths with.
