we should do away with all laws, everything from jaywalking to murder.
that way, when you decide you want to cross the street whenever YOU want, regardless of everyone else around, and you get hit by a car and killed. the driver wont be charged with murder. because all laws are bad and pointless right?
oh wait.
and as for the 2nd guy. it really is his fault and his fault alone. when cops tell you to do something, you do it. whether its to stop running your mouth or to put the weapon down. YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO DO IT. PERIOD. if you dont, thats your decision and you have to face the consequences.
society has laws for a reason, it needs laws for a reason. and if everyone starts picking and choosing which ones they deem appropriate, it all collapses.
yes the cops should have and could have handled it better. a simple warning should be more than sufficient for a minor infraction. but still. laws are laws.

No,you cant walk by people and scream whatever you want.This is called disorderly conduct.This is a misdeameanor crime.Repeat 100 times ,maybe it will sink into your head,Repeatedly screaming at people in public is disorderly conduct.

You're a very compliant person...they'd love you in prison! When Big Harry tells you to tossthesalad I guess you'd comply with no problem?
The entire point is, that police puts his pants on the same as I do, he has no more authority over a free person than I do. That man could walk past and yell whatever he wants. He was in no way interferring with that officers job. Now if the guy has any knowledge, that officers job is in danger and the city is at risk of losing a couple dollars.

Please, read the previous posts. The NYPD officer as enforcing the law in New York State that prohibits disorderly conduct.
I posted the language of the law. After reading, it can be established that the man's actions fit disorderly conduct under the letter of the law.edit on 18-4-2011 by areyouserious2010 because: edit to add

The guy on the bike showed no discomfort and even joked back. He didn't ask for police rescue. Which brings us to the issue of, was the guy even screaming? In my opinion he was not.
There was no crime and no disorderly conduct.
If the Magistrate/Judge isn't a tool this case will be dismissed. If the system is corrupt as I believe the guy will get off with a fine (revenue for the city).

Maybe you should turn up the volume on the video or put a new battery in the hearing aid.The man said you are a grown man,you should know better than that.Essentially saying the man was stupid.That is what pissed the cops off and rightfully so.They gave him a second chance and said keep on moving,the man refused to keep on moving and proceeded to talk crap to the officers.Hence, the disorderly conduct charge.

Stop with the trolling. Or perhaps the department heads are giving you a hard time for doing a stupid bust that makes everyone look bad???
Since when saying "I'm not talking to you, man" "instigating a fight"? You must get into fights quite alot
