re: #56 Killgore Trout

I’m not saying that. That’s what police are telling the press when they’re researching the story.

Look at this again:

I know it seems unfathomable to many people but my guess is the reason why it’s standard procedure is to avoid prolonged scuffles and wrestling with officers

That is a matter-of-fact description of it being standard procedure.

But your clarification is noted. It is what some officials have described as standard procedure. It would be nice to see something more definitive. Personally, I think that anyone who thinks that was validly standard procedure is blowing smoke up people’s asses.
