Yesterday, in a coordinated maneuver, DC police swarmed one man in pajamas. He was backing away slowly with his hands in the air asking calmly why the police were coming after him. Seconds later, a woman in uniform tased him in the back while another policewoman puts her knee on his neck. He is handcuffed and taken away in a police cruiser. His alleged crime? Disorderly conduct.
This week’s New Yorker features an 8-page article on another DC man who has stolen cars, burned down buildings, and committed insurance fraud. His name is Darrell Issa, and he is a 6-term Congressman recently promoted to chair the House Committee on Government Oversight.
