IRONY Pt. 2

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us


I watched these cops hand out tickets to folk on New Year's Eve for having open containers !! They lined all of their bikes up along Columbus street in North Beach, and posted up in the same spot, picking people off one by one... That is until the same police officers managed to surround a young Latino guy who they suspected of physically assaulting a white woman in a nearby bar. While the woman stood off to the side with a black eye and a bloody lip, they grilled the man about the incident. Several people shouted obscenities at the cops urging the officers to leave the guy alone, but they just kept at it, shining their flashlights right into his face. The people also tried to tell the guy not to speak to the police without a lawyer. Approximately 45 minutes later, they let him go. Turns out the woman confessed to being very drunk and that her own sister/drinking buddy was to blame for the shiner that had developed around her eye. To "Protect & Serve" indeed...
