Dismal Tale Of Arrest For Tiniest Of Crimes
The arresting officer came by the cell, Samantha Zucker said, to make snide remarks about finding her with a friend in Riverside Park after its 1 a.m. closing.
For instance:
“He was telling me that I needed to get a new boyfriend, that I should get a guy who takes me out to dinner,” Ms. Zucker said. “He mocked me for being from Westchester.”
"Show me your papers!!" Say it with a german accent and awaaaay we go. WTF?! American citizens can be arrested for NOT carrying "their papers"? And the "serving and protecting" heroes think it was a wonderful idea to ARREST her? And it took TWO police cars to rein this hooligan in? All you bad-ass cops out there wondering why you get dirty looks and no respect, well, here you are. Back in the day, a REAL cop would have just said "lady, I know you not from here, but the park is closed. You'll have to leave". And THAT would be the end of it. This tough guy had to arrest her. Get a cop on here and give me some cop reasoning about why this happened. She DEFINTELY looks like a terrorist, too. Maybe THAT'S it. Or did he miss a chance to beat up some college kids on Wall Street and felt the need to teach SOMEONE a "lesson"??
You're absolutely right. This countries police forces are out of control. They do crap like this and shooting that guy in Oakland just because they can.
Don't be surprised when you start seeing cops floating in rivers.
