    Dear Spot,

    I am glad you reminded me about a case I am handling. A
    woman and her boyfriend were in a local big chain grocery
    store, supermarket. Her boyfried had a bottle of vodka in his
    pants pocket and he had had quite a bit to drink. Some other
    customer told the store manager that he had a gun in his
    pocket. When my client, the girlfriend, got to the front of
    the store with her boyfiend, the cops jumped out with guns
    pulled, knocked the boyfriend to the floor, threw the
    grilfriend (my client) against the wall and made her stand
    with her hands above her head and with her fingers
    interlocked while they searched the boyfriend on the floor.
    When they found the bottle of vodka instead of a gun, the
    cops just left without even an apology. The store, I think,
    did apologize to the girlfriend; but, heck! that does not get
    her any justice. Of course, I took her case! I will get her
    some money out of it and some for my honey also. Sorry about
    all your problems! Why don't you sue them for what they did
    to you! Best of luck!

    Sincerely,

    Hardy Parkerson, Atty.
