Yes, I saw that video yesterday but I didn't know the victim was a farmer. I wonder what he did "wrong" to deserve such brutality? It would be a miracle if the sheik is punished. Don't they practice "an eye for an eye" over there?

Aces, you might have missed the line from the police :

"The government statement said its review found "all rules, policies and procedures were followed correctly by the Police Department."

And yes, Sharia (ala Wahhabi style I believe) is the law of the land.
