Per CNN, ACORN will close its community organizing operations.

The group's remaining state affiliates and field offices will shut down by April 1 and a plan will be developed to pay its debts, it said.

Note: I apologize if this has been diaried to death already, but I haven't seen anything. This is starting to make national news, so I thought it might be worth discussion.

This is just one more example of excessive police force and rampant overuse of tasers.

On November 11th, police in Ozark were called to the girl's home by her mother because she was refusing to take a shower. Officers arrived on the scene and witnessed the girl "kicking and screaming." At one point, the child apparently kicked Officer Dustin Bradshaw in the groin. His response was to tase her in the back and arrest her.

Follow me below the jump for the disgusting response from local police.

I just saw a preview for a special airing tonight on Anderson Cooper 360° titled "Democrats in Charge" at 10pm Eastern. I don't know if this special will shed a positive light on Dems or not, but the 360° Blog says some interesting things, which I'm assuming will be the focus of the special Read More
