Catch and Release Police Work

I know it’s common practice for fishermen to catch and release their prey. I seems to make them feel superior to an ancient animal with a brain half the size of a pea when they outwit the fish.

Police work, in contrast, is not supposed to be based on the same principle, even if the alleged perpetrator has a fish-sized brain. This woman:

Original

Don't taze me bro'

was recently arrested in Cincinnati. She managed to slip out of her handcuffs several times after which the police decided she needed a little electrical “persuasion.” They tazed her. She was later released from jail because of overcrowding.

OK, I’ll bite. Why bother to arrest folks if they can’t keep ‘em. Why not just write them a ticket. Or better yet make them stand in the corner of Cincinnati.
