Felony snowball throwing????

If the police in a certain area are not capable of distinguishing between real threats to public safety and kids harmlessly playing and enjoying themselves, then the police themselves become a threat to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness...

I know of police in another area that have taken to arresting people for disagreeing with the police officer. This is a direct violation of free speech.

I don't have a problem with any police force that doesn't act in this general manner, but some police in some areas scream for an oversight committee.

With your extensive knowledge of police procedure you must be a police explorer

I'm going to explain this to you one more time, Kid. Pay attention. There are three distinct elements of the criminal justice system. The police, the prosector and the courts. In this case the PROSECUTOR charged them with a felony. You seem to have a lot of difficulty understanding the difference in the three and think police rule the world.

But RDS, isn't it true the police are the "gateway" to the criminal justice system?!?!?! That's what my CJ clssses taught me!

It's like marijuana being a gateway drug. Messing with the police will take you to more stronger stuff, like the prosector and the court.

I think he's really talking about "the Man". The Man is keeping him down.

It IS possible that the suspects talked themselves into going to jail...

How does someone talk themselves into going to jail?

Again, we are back at "discretion." See my response to you in the Texas thread you just posted in.

We have a guy that calls 911 about once a week saying he wants to go to jail. He normally gets unhappy with his living conditions (no heat, angry at his landlord etc.). He will then call and say he wants to go to jail for better living conditions.

Recently he called a hotline in Pittsburgh saying he had a gun and was going to kill someone. They determined he lived in our area and sent us. He said he called that particular hotline because he was hoping Pittsburgh PD would come and take him to jail since we never will.
