Be advised, the following video contains salty language, in case you or your cubicle mates are easily offended:



That's from last night's Yankees/Red Sox game in New York (hat tip to Walkoff Walk), but it's especially fitting today on the heels of reading about over-aggressive cops enforcing the little known (err, non-existent) God Bless America Rule during the seventh inning stretch.

Did the mouthy fan cross the line by arguing a little too much? Perhaps. But did the female police officer escalate the situation by screaming and initiating physical contact? Absolutely. In a tense situation in the middle of a crowd of drunk fans chanting profanities, the last thing any experienced officer should be doing is making the situation worse. Both of those jokers should have been thrown out of the stadium.
