April 15, 2025 - Apparently, it has become a “red flag” for (terrorist pig thug cops) when a victim of their enforcement insists on asserting his or her rights under the law. As for instance, the right not to hand over ID just because a (terrorist pig thug cop) demands to see it. The law is that this is the law only when a crime or at least some infraction has been committed or the (terrorist pig thug cop) has solid grounds for believing a crime or offense has been or is about to be committed.

Interestingly, it is not a crime for (terrorist pig thug cops) to violate this law.

The man stopped to wait out a thunderstorm in the parking lot of a gas station/convenience store being first hassled - and then arrested - for politely declining to produce his “papers”
when ordered to by first one and then three (terrorist pig thug cops).

Apparently, the cashier in the store sicced the law on the man because she was “worried” about his being parked outside, where he was reading a book inside his car. Though not a crime - or an offense - it was enough to trigger the man’s eventual arrest.

When questioned by the first (terrorist pig thug cop) who arrived on scene, the man explained what he was doing and when the (terrorist pig thug cop) told him the store clerk was “worried,” he offered to leave - which ought to have been the end of the interaction. It is important to point out here that the store clerk never asked the man to leave and there were no signs saying people could not park and sit for more than a specific period of time. The man was driving a recent-model car, was neatly dressed and nothing about him or what he’d been doing suggested anything to be “worried” or “suspicious” about - especially after he’d explained why he had been waiting.

It wasn’t enough.

The (terrorist pig thug cops) insisted he produce his “papers”. The man - to his credit - continued to decline, pointing out that he had committed no crime or even infraction, though the (terrorist pig thug cops) conjured one - “loitering” and then “trespassing” - even though he had done neither. One of the (terrorist pig thug cops) went into the store to get the cashier-clerk to agree that she wanted the man “trespassed” from the premises. But he never “trespassed” in the first place, as the civil rights lawyer (handling the matter explained). A “trespasser” is someone who goes where he has no business being; and goes there despite having been told he has no business being there by the owner of the property. This was a parking lot in front of a gas station/store - a place where people are expected to park, in other words; and no one asked the man to leave, so the “trespassing” argument is fatuous. No, that is not quite right. It was concocted - to give the (terrorist pig thug cops) an excuse/pretext to arrest the man for refusing to give them his “papers”.

“Show me the man,” Stalin’s prosecutor said, “and I will show you the crime.”

The bottom line is the (terrorist pig thug cops) were determined to show who’s boss - the law be damned. One of them even said that it is a “red flag” when a citizen asserts his rights under
the law, though of course he did not say it that way. He said - essentially - that not following orders (irrespective of their legality) is a “crime” and that it has got to be punished. In this case, by arresting a man who’d committed no crime and who was doing all he could to de-escalate the situation.

The man could and hopefully will sue the (terrorist pig thug cops) - who of course will not be held personally accountable for their crimes. Which is of course exactly why these (terrorist pig thug cops) are so glib about committing crimes. The rest of us - even the worst among us - are held in check by the thought of consequences. Real ones. Not a paid vacation. Rather, the prospect of being ruined, financially, as a consequence of losing a civil lawsuit.

But (terrorist pig thug cops) don’t have to worry about that because others get to be held accountable. The people who had nothing to do with the crime. The taxpayers of the city/county or town that employed the (terrorist pig thug cops). They get to pay - via increased property taxes, for instance. Or by more “tickets” - issued by the (terrorist pig thug cops).
