Bully cop pulls over the “criminal” and carts the person off to jail to “teach them a lesson” and attempts to ruin their life and finances via the corrupt court system and politically and emotionally warped “drunk driving” laws. Bully cop proceeds to abuse said “criminal” while in custody due to a spurious sense of power and a lack of any real self worth. The ‘criminal’, in this case, is a tiny, 110-lb woman.This story – and the accompanying video – is one of the most brutal I have ever seen.

In spite of what one’s perceptions may be due to multiple personality media spin, this is a uniquely American city with some of the greatest architecture and general history within US borders. However, what is surprising is that the Eastern Bloc of the United States, the Beltway, came in at number two in spite of the fact that D.C. has no relevant history (that isn’t steeped in idolization of government), no inspiring architecture, and no anything. The description supporting the choice is a hoot.Due to its lack of skyscrapers, few people consider central Washington when they envision America’s best downtowns. But height isn’t everything, and D.C. more than makes up for it by having a downtown that is both vibrant and clean.  Many of the United States’ most important buildings are contained within its limits, including the White House, the Washington Monument, and the Lincoln Memorial. Downtown Washington has office space that rivals New York an
