If you are going to be stupid, it helps to be cute or charismatic.
Speaking from personal experience???
gets himself some remedial training.
... implying that he had any training in the first place!
People get arrested all the time when what they do is not against the law.
E.G. - resisting arrest is a catch-all charge that police use all the time, with no other charges, whether they resist or not. People get arrested for flipping off LEOs or telling them to go **** themselves.
Total Bovine Scatology!! It's this kind of legend, and this kind of thinking that gets people into trouble!!!
Not saying that cops never misbehave, but this one-size-fits-all indictment of cops is as grossly unfair as it would be to say all longhairs are dopers, or all Southerners are Rednecks, or all blacks have criminal tendencies, or all Indians have drinking problems.
Idiots that get in trouble with the law say this happens, but it doesn't. I've seen people that were total jerks upon contact with law enforcement, and tho they initially were not doing anything wrong THEY escalated by failure to follow an officer's lawful commands, impeded the officer's investigation, and then pulled away when the cuffs come out to detain them, which then results in a lawful arrest for resisting. Meanwhile, the officer(s) are being called the worst names and don't respond to that at all.
A high school buddy was always complaining about being hassled by the cops. He drove an old beater VW with all different color parts scavenged from yard sales, had long hair back in the hippie days, had underage girl in the car, driving late at night, and resented being stopped. Really? Dude reeked of weed. Cops poured out his beer when he was minor in possession. So he hates cops. But he was never even arrested. Just checked out and let go on his way. That's worth hating over? Co-operate, be pleasant, follow instructions, go home... simple as that!!!
If there were videos of what you say is happening, those would be all over YouTube etc. But there's not. Yet I can post a huge number of vids showing officers getting the worst verbal abuse and being incredibly patient and professional.
Disorderly conduct(AKA disturbing the peace) is usually applied to such offenses as 'Drunk in public', 'Loitering', 'Soliciting(or engaging in) lewd sex acts' etc. etc. etc.
He wasn't charged with 'Brandishing' <--- which would have required some level of intent involved.
I agree, would add that it also includes causing a scene... often includes yelling, screaming, mega cussing, & such verbal assaults just short of physical assault on another person. Many times it IS a result of drinking, and often leads to resisting arrest after failure to comply with lawful commands to stop the disturbance.
