Mayfield's family planning to sue police (?) over Tea Party attorney's suicide
Okaaayy...
Mark Mayfield's family plans to sue or bring charges against the city of Madison, its police department or "anyone responsible" after Mayfield's apparent suicide Friday.
Mayfield's relatives, already angered over his arrest in May in the U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran photo scandal, say Madison police were trespassing when they showed up at his home in Ridgeland after he apparently shot himself. They say Mayfield's arrest was politically motivated by supporters of Cochran and drove him to suicide.
The cops were "trespassing"? WTF?
Mayfield's arrest was "politically motivated"? Well, yes, I'll give you that one...
And that's just what's in the first two 'graphs. Really, go to the link for a big bucket of stupid.
