Hi,
Paladin made a good point about the ACLU stuff. The defendants have to be neat and clean, all dressed up and without restraints so that the jury won't be influenced negatively by thier appearance. If that guy had been properly cuffed and in leg irons, one small officer might have been enough but probably not.

Something else to think about: We have to show up for jury duty but we are prohibited from CC in a court. This and the Tyler incident make me a little nervous about doing my civic duty.

I'm in favor of equal opportunity for everyone. But I beleive that ability to do the job should be the test. I think you need a"tough person" for a "tough job". God Bless all of you that do those "tough jobs" and thank you for getting up every day and doing it!
