Don't Taze Josh Brolin, Bro
Remember last summer when Josh Brolin got in trouble with the cops at a bar in Shreveport, Louisiana with his fellow W. actor Jeffrey Wright? Today TMZ sent out the video of the totally passive-seeming actors getting pepper sprayed in the face and tasered by the cops, respectively. It's no Rodney King, but it definitely doesn't look right. At all:
The video's release coincides with charges being dropped today against the actors, but they still have to pay a fine. Kinda crazy! Maybe Tom Cruise is right and movie stars are the true victims after all. Jk, of course, but this video is a little disturbing when we're used to seeing actors caught on tape being overly entitled, not hog tied on their knees. Bad Cops. This spring, Josh Brolin should un-dedicate one of his Oscars to the Shreveport PD.

Thank you so much for uploading the video yourselves so I don't have to encounter that loathsome TMZ player.

If anyone ever had video of police using tasers or pepper spray for legitimate public safety reasons, you'd think the various police advocacy organizations and municipalities would be publicizing them to demonstrate how important they are as tools of law enforcement. But you don't really see such videos, do you?

Arrrrghhhhh, southern gentility meets southern brutality. Or, perhaps, Jeffrey Wright is Condoleeza to Brolin's George W.? I'd read something about this, actually. That shit is fucked up. Jeffrey Wright is a goddamn gentleman and a scholar, motherfuckers, and I just feel bad for Brolin, he probably flirted with a good ol' boy's girl or some shit while he was half-in-the bag...stars, aren't they allowed to get fucked up without going to jail? Like us? Most of the time?
