There is NO EXCUSE for this criminal to assault the officers.

I only hope he gets a long sentence for this attack.

Why are you reporting assualt on an officer. Read the news about Lee county beating prisoners and nothing is done to the deputys that do this. Crooked, that is the word. Whats good for the goose is good for the gander.

Sounds like the dude needed taking to the hospital (mental side). Attacking police inside their own house with all the brothers, sisters, cousins, momas and daddy there. Smart move.

The people watching over criminals may be getting punished more than the criminals. People committing crimes while locked up should be punished severely.
