Second, there are other means of redress. One example would be a sit-down with the local PD. Another example would be passive, non-violent resistence. Another example would be armed resistance. Another example would be to organize policitally and get the Borough counsel (who whoever runs the show out there) un-elected, and fire the Police. There are lots of examples. (I think litigation is a good choice in most cases. It is certainly not the only choice.)

Or, you could call people names like the rest of the kids.

Was your second thing not tried and didn't the chief basically say F88K You we're going to do it our way what then is the recourse ???
