Filing "Disorderly Conduct" Just Because

Obama tries to explain the police state we live in, vis a vis Gates, he gets the brush back. [The situation of disagreeing with the police has little to do with the quality of the service, but more about the attitude/mood of the officer.]

Here's another example of the police mentality in America:

Police in Mobile, Ala., used pepper spray and a Taser on a deaf, mentally disabled man who they said wouldn't leave a [Dollar] Store's bathroom ... Police tell the Press-Register of Mobile that officers shot pepper spray under the bathroom door after knocking several times. After forcing the door open, they used the stun gun on Antonio Love.

Then they tried the Crowley option: arresting him for disorderly conduct. Mercifully a judge threw the charge out. But notice the disorderly conduct charge filed even after all the facts are known. The crime - disabled while taking a shit - is just asking to be tasered and pepper-sprayed.

Surprise! - the guy is African-American. Pretty brutal. They held the guy for 6 hours, then dropped him off in his apartment complex parking lot without notifying anyone. Sounds like someone feels like they fucked up.

What ever happened to Police trying to diffuse situations, not escalate them? They pepper sprayed the door before they even knew who was inside, or what condition they were in. This happened in a Dollar Store?! The South has done it again.

NOTE: Pointing at a police officer is "assault", touching him is "battery".
