Well, I don't know that I would be outraged. Like I said, they weren't called to investigate a crime. They were called there to escort the guy out of the place 'after hours'. That's all there should have been to it. If he went free and did something .. naughty, I don't think anyone could blame the police for thinking he was nothing more than a loud mouthed kid trying to make a statement at the time. At least, they shouldn't.
Anyway, the argument isn't really whether he should have been detained at all, but the amount of force used to detain him. I know of a tweaked out drug user who stole 2 cars, a boat and held a family hostage in their home at knife point that had an easier arrest than this kid. The amount of force used to detain the kid was very disproportional to what was actually needed. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Stroz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <cf-community@houseoffusion.com> Sent: Tuesday, November 28, 2006 1:00 PM Subject: Re: more civil rights goodness > I beg to differ.
