Always remember being an ass to someone doing a thankless job brings more pee on yourself.

I totally disagree with your attitude about this.
If there was no sign posted and it was an otherwise open space open to the public then he was doing nothing wrong.
That being said, someone could have politely told him he was in a reserved space and would he please go to such and such location.
In my opinion he was removed because he was a black man with braided hair, he scared someone.
Cops are not special people. They have a responsibility to the people they stop and talk to as much as those who they think they are protecting. Too often they don’t get to exert much authority because the vast majority of people obey the law most of the time. When they get a chance to exert a little authority they leap at the chance, sickening.
Was the black man being a jerk? Perhaps. Is it against the law to be a jerk? No, I don’t think so. Being arrested is a traumatic event, a violent event. The charges were dismissed, obviously arresting this guy was simple abuse of authority and force, perhaps assault.

When did they start drafting cops in St Paul?
