Another woman took a swing at him too, and the guy didn't give her "consent". Is the guy a jackass? Probably.Being a jackass in his own yard wouldn;t have gotten him in handcuffs. He wasn't being detained for being a jackass, he was being detained for being a public nuisance.
Quote:Does that mean he deserves to be assaulted for it? No.Sure doesn't, but that's just the sort of difficult scenario a public nuisance creates for a responding officer..who has to show up largely after the fact..determine who the instigators are, and resolve the complaint.
That's exactly what the cop did ( let's all thank crom no one was shot...).
Quote:Did the police officer have any business asking the broad if she was offended by something he said? Nope.Sure did, in fact it was probably his duty in trying to figure out just what the hell was going on with this asshole and his camera and why he (the cop) had to respond there.
Quote:If he was doing something wrong and the business didn't want him around their bar or whatever, then fine, but the police officer had no business bringing offense into it. There is no right not to be offended in the United States of America, so the cop was acting dumb as hell no matter how big of a jackass the guy in question is.You're acting as if he was being handcuffed for violating a persons right to not be offended..which he wasn't. He was handcuffed...again, for being a public nuisance. There is no right of being a public nuisance, and it is against the law to be a public nuisance. Most of the time, despite being the party at fault, we let them off lightly, like the cops did with this jackass. Similarly, when a beligerant intentionally baits people into responding to them, we don;t generally find the fault with the person who responds to them unless it's compelling. Kid looks fine, and he liked it. Had she brutalized him with her stilletto and he was lying in critical condition at the nearest ER...I'd laugh my ass off, but she'd have gone to jail in ways that he..well..didn't..
Next.
Is -this- the nature of the system repressing men over women's fee-fees? Strongly insisting that some douche stop being an asshole to women he sees on the street in illegal ways?
Call me when they're rounding us up for our sperm.
Nope, "did he offend you?" is not what the cop should have asked. Maybe "did he insult you?" or something like that, but I'm certain he should not have asked if the girl was offended. Someone having a tattoo of a demon or something would be enough to offend a Christian, or saying "There is no god" would be enough to offend them. Offense should not be an issue, period. If you replace "offend" with "insult" or something though, then ok.
