We're the Only Ones Who Can't Drive a Stick Enough

A teenager harassed by police in St. Louis, Missouri caught the incident on tape. Brett Darrow, 19, had his video camera rolling last month as he drove his 1997 Maxima, minding his own business. He approached a drunk driving roadblock where he was stopped, detained and threatened with arrest when he declined to enter a conversation with a police officer about his personal travel habits...

Brett: Why am I being detained officer? (directed toward Officer #4)

Officer #4: You better stop runnin your mouth or the other officer will find a reason to lock you up tonight.
This is one gutsy, intelligent and mature young man. He gives me hope for the next generation.

And Officer H-A-L-L-Q-U-I-S-D, your ignorant authoritarian arrogance represents everything that's wrong with "law enforcement."

Watch the video.

Beyond disgusting.
And unconstitutional.

It is a self-erected superiority complex, done to cover their inferiority. They shall face harsher judgement, and greater punishment, in the end.

How about just common two bit thugs that all too often gravitate to law enforcment? The will continue to behave this way until the public puts a stop to it. Jury nulification is one way. Use with caution as some prosecutors and judges take a dim view of nulification and could carge juror mis-conduct
