Not that it was a great movie. It seemed to make fun of religion and heroes (God has slimy suckered tenticles, and CB beats a guy bloody for breaking in line). I say "seemed to" because the movie's plot was so clumsy that it may have been unintentional (but I doubt it).<br /><br />CharlieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-20247201558323914592011-10-15T20:01:28.322-04:002011-10-15T20:01:28.322-04:00I worte a song just for him:

'There is no proof of this.'"<br /><br />WTF? You don't need proof beyond a reasonable doubt to prosecute the now ex-cop. That's what you need to <em>convict</em> him! He absolutely should be prosecuted. Without a trial, how can the public be satisfied that the internal investigation was conducted satisfactorily? Cops shouldn't get a free pass, otherwise they can just execute regular folks with impunity. Superhero-wannabes acting as vigilantes and not in accordance with the law ought to be prosecuted as well.<br /><br />::GAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-51342073278315596552011-10-13T15:30:20.032-04:002011-10-13T15:30:20.032-04:00No kidding, eh?
