I was going to hide this for discrimination: "The cop in question is 
wearing a riot helmet with a ski mask underneath so his face is not 
visible anyway. Either he is just looking for someone else to pick on, 
or he is a complete retard" implies that people with learning 
disabilities would generally behave like this.  But it's a great report 
otherwise, so for now I've just changed "retard" into "sadist", although 
it now sort of says: he's a sadist or he's a sadist!  Couldn't think of 
anything else to do.  Should I have hidden the post?  Is it acceptable 
to alter other people's work?
