They hauled the driver out onto the road and started beating him with truncheons. They then hauled him away to the police station leaving my brother in law sitting in the by now imobilised cab. at least he didn't have to pay the cab fare. anyway, what did the cabbie do to warrant being beaten, other than sit in traffic? He collided with the police car. not if he was sitting in traffic, he didn't. It sounds like the cop hit the cab, and then beat the crap out of the driver for having the audacity to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. in other words, it wasn't 'collided with police car' but rather 'corrupt cops' Perhaps I should have used a /sarc. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

He collided with the police car. Was he black as well as that would be an obvious sign of guilt. No, it was a much more prevalant form of corruption, and violence. It was Mexican-on-Mexican violence, in Mexico. -- Regards, Savageduck |
