The Cuban govt has not exactly been a great beacon of human rights or anything, but the people who were unlucky enough to have been born there don't deserve this. What a cruel thing to do to them. The US administration has no heart or soul.

Awwww. My wife says the same thing -- our cats always know when she's feeling off, and want to sit on her tummy :). She swears it helps her feel better too.
That might indeed be the result sometimes :). Doesn't matter. Since the US seems OK with Amazon making their drivers pee in a bottle and docking them points for gazing away while driving, why not make police submit to full recording like this?
Whoohoo, look at all those downvotes! Somebody doesn't like the reminders about the two Mikes, huh?
