While I support fighting for your rights to have a fine cigar, this guy [allegedly] took it way too far!
AP 8/20/07 - SAN ANTONIO, TX) - A San Antonio police officer has been suspended indefinitely after an internal affairs investigation into allegations he used a racial slur and beat a woman who asked him to put out his cigar at a community pool.
Detective Keith Alfaro has until Friday to set up a meeting with Police Chief William McManus to appeal the “contemplated indefinite suspension,” said police Sgt. Gabe Trevino. Trevino said the action is tantamount to a firing.
Tamara Vaughan, 18, said Alfaro, who was off-duty, hit her 25 times, choking her with his forearm, injuring her jaw and bruising her arm during the July 22 incident.
Alfaro was arrested and charged with aggravated assault and evading and resisting arrest.
An attorney for Alfaro had no comment. A call to another of Alfaro’s attorneys was not immediately returned Monday.
The incident is being investigated by Bexar County because it happened outside city limits.

That guy went over da line! Still, nice to see people fighting for there rights to smoke! I can’t stand people fake coughing around me when I smoke my sticks.
You’re way out of line God of Moneybags. Beating anyone is wrong. Beating your wife is worse. Regardless of cigar smoking.
