All I can guess by now is that you're deliberately ignoring my point, and the point of the whole debate. Yet as ridiculous as this is getting, you've given a perfect example to illustrate what that actually is. I can do that, and I'll be arrested, as I
should be arrested, but the police will handle it in a civilized manner and will NOT start beating me with nightsticks and tasering me because I COULD have a weapon or just because they think I'm a jackass and deserve it, the latter being a very disturbing reason that people are giving to justify the UCPD actions.
