"the music is too loud"
(normal person) - "Yes sir officer, we'll turn it down now sorry about that"
How fucking hard is this?
Chaos erupts at 5-year-old's birthday party; mom, 3 others arrested in clash with Birmingham police
quote:
A 5-year-old's weekend birthday party in one of Birmingham's public housing communities ended up with four adults arrested and a 4-month-old pepper sprayed, and now residents and community activists are calling for the firing of two city police officers.
Patrice Bozeman, 24, said family members were gathered outside her apartment in Kingston Saturday night to celebrate the birthday of her daughter, Zauriona. Two beat officers, they said, told them the music was too loud and when they questioned them on it, they said, at least 15 police officers arrived as backup and chaos erupted.
quote:
"During the course of that exchange, the citizens were not compliant so the officers made a decision to arrest the instigator,'' Edwards said. "At that time, the citizen resisted and even shoved the officer which led to the escalation. The primary officer used his spray on the one subject but other family members attempted to intervene and prevent the arrest."

The family and the activists are calling on the department to apologize to the Bozeman family, drop the charges against them and to fire the two beat officers, both of whom are black.
