I suggest a combination of silly string sprayed on the perp and Pam sprayed on the ground. Instead of watching a tape of a brutal looking struggle, we would have seen a Chaplinesque slapstick comedy. Fun for all!
The altercation was in a White Castle parking lot. I suggest placing a sack of sliders in the back seat of the police car, open the door, and watch Tub'O Lard follow the scent into the car. Non violent capture.
Some members of the community held a rally in support of the officers' actions at the scene earlier today.
