This Lakeland man spat on the grass
But the officer won't let this pass
"My sputum's not evil
but yours is illegal
So now I'll arrest your sad ass."

Well, at least there's one good cop in this story.

Awww, whose a baby troll, you are. Such a cute little troll maybe someday you will be all grown up and able to derail a thread, make people hate you, and be a big troll, but I doubt it.

And I have to note I found this quite amusing for some reason.

Is there an archive somewhere of these inumerable cop-being-law-breaking-asshole stories?

Cop: Can I search you?
Guy: No.
Cop: Well, I am going to anyway.
Guy: Then why did you ask?
Cop: Lets me know how thorough I have to be. You have elected the 'cavity search' option.

rattchett: meintx2001: Too Pretty For Prison: AverageAmericanGuy: The guy seems like an asshole. I'm not saying we should lock up assholes (god knows I'd be the first on the block to be taken away), but people should try not to be assholes, especially around cops.

And chewing tobacco is a farking nasty habit. I've never met someone who used chewing tobacco that didn't need a beatdown.

The guy is absolutely an asshole. BUT - he was just out walking in his neighborhood. That's not illegal or a reason to have his 4th Amendment Rights shiat on. The dipshiat cop was abusing his power (gee, go figure). A slap on the wrist to "write a paper" is complete horseshiat. About 3 weeks ago, I was in my front yard with my dog. A cop drove by, rolled down his window, chatted with me why I was out at 3:00 a.m. He explained there was a car break-in a few nights earlier (we don't have much crime), told me to have a good night and drove on. That's reasonable. If he had told me to empty my pockets I would be in an article on Fark too for being an asshole, just like this guy.

THIS x 100. All of this was escalated because Mr. Citizen questioned the Po-po. 100% abuse of power.

Ahhhm. Ahhhm. I am sorry, maybe you didn't get the memo, but the word "Po-Po" has been forbidden by unanimous consent of pretty much everybody in the world. Same goes for "totes", "bestie", and "man cave".

That's cray-cray.

Sasquach: Sitting outside at night and explaining that you can't sleep and were chatting about baseball on the phone....good LORD, I'm glad the cops arrested him.

If some dillhole was walking back and forth down my street at 2:00 AM spitting his tobacco juice on lawns and blathering into his cell phone about baseball, it's my sincere hope that they tazer him first.

Police are a good example of what Democrats want in government, how they want us governed.

Virtue: AverageAmericanGuy: people should try not to be assholes, especially around cops

Is it illegal to be an asshole ~~around a cop?......if not the the police are corrupt~~.

That's the question, and the answer is no. Unless you're a cop. Then being one is part of the job description.

I don't see what everyone is so upset about. The man was clearly guilty of not being a law enforcement officer. He needed to be taught a lesson.

It's like watching one of those nature videos of a fledgling bird taking it's first few uncertain flights.

Sounds like the guy in the article is looking for a hug and a payout.

It's funny how the guy claims he's totally innocent (aren't they all) and was polite and cooperative, etc. Yet they had the right to search him and, if he would have just cooperated, he would have been on his merry way a few minutes later.

But it sounds like he couldn't keep his mouth shut, made comments about a dead cop, spit near a cop's feet and generally acted like an asshole.

Also interesting how the cops salaries had to be mentioned in the article. I think they forgot something.

Anderson has worked for the department since July 2008 and earns $46,016 a year. Ivancevich was hired as an officer in March 2010 and makes $43,789 a year. Stoiber hasn't worked a real job in a while, but supplements his late-night gaming career by breaking into houses in the neighborhood.

"Anderson wrote in a report that he saw a bulge in Stoiber's shorts that he thought "was large enough to conceal a weapon, including a handgun." It turned out to be his wallet, a can of Grizzly snuff and keys."

The officers should have just shot him the moment they saw something that possibly, maybe, could be a firearm. You know, to ensure the safety of the officers.
