call it what you want v4, I don't mind it. It's just wack when other people mean it and then you go in for the death blow, jokingly.

"The author then shrugged him off, walked away and repeatedly refused to show an ID after the officer told him to stop and warned him he would have to arrest him"
The officer was there to direct people to use the crosswalk. There was obviously a reason for that... The guy ignored his orders. When the officer pursued him, he kept walking. He deserved it.They even dropped the charges after he acnowledged wrongdoing.

there are two sensationalists views to every story dobs, it is my goal to see that both sides are both blown equally out of proportion. and dobs please don't feel singled out, as you are not, i assure you

it's jaywalking.

He obviously should've listened to the police (when are people going to learn?). At the same time, the police shouldn't have taken him down in the manner that they did. But they did warn him.

//they should have tazered him, like that borwn kid in california.

the other side blown out of proportion for arguments sake:
yes he was only jaywalking, but in high foot and vehicular traffic areas. why does his need to get across the street outweigh the need for vehicles to continue down the street
and how bad would the story be if he were hit by a car and even worse died from that.
would it then be the authorities fault as well for not providing a safe environment for those in town for the engagements
it started as jaywalking and ended in civil disobedience
slightly different

so if a foreigner visits a particular city in the United States, is he given any info of this exquisite civic refinements?

That kid was suspicious to me. He clearly acted like he wanted to start a riot or believe that he was doing something "heroic". This is jaywalking, and is a bit different.

It's not about Jaywalking. It's about blatantly ignoring an officer's warnings. Not to mention, "He was swinging, kicking wildly."

So what? write the guy a citation and act like civil servant. Physically dominating someone doesn't fit the crime of jaywalking.

(Jan 11 07, 13:14)but it does fit civil disobedience and continuing to walk away from an officer giving you a command, go ahead try it, see what happens

you are within your rights to rundown jaywalkers and leave the bodies in the street.

Civil disobedience isn't resisting arrest. No need to tackle the guy.
