How ******* stupid are some of yall?
Smoking weed is illegal... IMO simple possession of marijuana should not be illegal. Smoking it in public should be.
However, that is neither here nor there. It IS illegal and thus the police are obligated to make an arrest.
It's not okay to resist arrest, or help someone who is, simply because you disagree with the law.
bullshit in most places it's a ticket able offence.
in most cases the officer has discretion .
if it had been a white guy would the same shit have happened?
How many times a day do you have to prove you're a stupid, lying sack of shit?
From the OP
But the man quickly scampered away, going into a house near the corner of Southwest Eighth Avenue and Southwest Third Court. Officers tried to talk to the man, but out from the house came about 20 people and they were forming a human shield.
The man ran from police.How do you know they wouldn't have just ticketed him and moved on? Or if even that?
Occasionally a person gets scared and runs from the police for nor reason. but USUALLY when someone bolts from what should be a routine ticket, it's for a reason.
Are you capable of admitting that this man escalated things by running?
Or, do you now suggest that running from the cops is okay?
