Michigan township rebels after new chief beefs up police force

DELTON — Early morning May 10, Jack Nadwornik stepped behind Tujax Tavern, the bar and restaurant he has owned for 30 years in this small, western Michigan town.

Nadwornik, out drinking with friends for his 58th birthday, urinated in a corner of the empty parking lot because the bar was locked up.

Within seconds, two Barry Township police cars and three officers — two of them unpaid reserves — confronted him as he was zipping up his pants. What happened next is up for debate: Police said he resisted arrest. Nadwornick said he didn’t, and a waitress who was leaving work agreed.

Unpaid (and UNTRAINED!!) citizens carrying guns and ACTING like the police?!!
Dice hanging from the mirror lead -- quickly -- to a sobriety test and a search request, which like ALWAYS, brings the drug dog who is trained to 'alert' whenever the handler wants him to, which then leads to a search (which finds nothing). All over some dice hanging from the mirror? Really? And the probable cause for all that?? There is none - but what does that matter to the "WE ARE THE PLOICE!!" gang?? What recourse do the citizens have? None. The Gestapo also knows that and reisistance/refusal will get you shot. Killed over some dice on your mirror.....Velcome to the New Amerika.
This is what our militarized police force has become. An armored troop carrier for a podunk little town where the residents still leave their keys in their car?
What's the reasoning (and how many sheep ate it up, hook line and sinker)? TERRORISTS!! Screw New York City --- the terrorists have their sights set on the hardware store in Delton, MI. And the sheep say "baaahhhh baaaaahh". How can that cop say that crap with a straight face?
Sound familiar??
Keep cheering!!

know your rights and tell the kops to go pound sand!
get a warrant barney!
I suggest everyone film every encounter with the kops even if you are just a bystander. when you realize they don't give a crap then you'll start to pay attention!
