Random Ridiculousness

This piece is more for venting purposes of social injustices observed while walking and attending some venues downtown this weekend. First off, can someone explain the following picture to me?
There are five bike police officers chatting, an obviously drunk man sitting on the sidewalk with handcuffs on, and three police officers mounted on horses. Hello! do you think someone out of all the police officers standing around would be able to escort the man in handcuffs away, or is it that they want to publicly humiliate him? If that was the reasoning for leaving him in plain sight while the police officers stood around and conversed, mission accomplished.

The security at Paradox night club got a little of out of line putting patrons in choke holds as a means to restrain. Do you really think cutting the air supply of an already inebriated person is going to help the situation? It might escalate into a civil litigation lawsuit when the person in the choke hold loses consciousness and possibly dies. Do you really want liability? I suggest rethinking your technique for restraint and OUTLAW the choke hold.
