1. Red Lion
Original title:Red Lion
Post summary:I made a mistake and ordered the BBQ platter. Dear God, this is the worst mistake I have ever made. I don't think you can call it BBQ. Dry but also wet, tasteless and weird. Also overpriced. Worst of all, the server looked either drunk or like she just woke up, and was very unprepared and disorganized. Never going again. Honestly, I'm grateful for every mediocre meal I've ever had. Not to mention the construction and beggars on the patio, although I can't blame

EN: Yes I do think it’s safe I’m not the one chasing and apprehending a criminal. - The video on the news looks like the arrest didn't go as planned... headlock, cop on his back in the swamp, a girl sitting on both of them.
EN: The video on the news didn't look like the arrest went as planned...... with a head lock, with the cop on his back in the swamp with a girl sitting on both. - I don't see anything wrong from the news clip. Body cam might reveal more, but I'll wait for the full story.

I suspect NAN doesn't want any footage released.
