So in other words, larceny against lawful property owners is okay as long as someone is determined to commit it, eh?
Go spin your crap with somebody who likes ya...... I said nothing of the sort ya loser.
So, in other words, assault is fine as long as the cops are doing it?
Was it a larceny? A civil matter? Or something that rises only to the status of a "persona non grata" list?
The latter is how it probably should have been handled. The cop was seen attempting to provoke the man. Probably wanted to try his new toy.
This is why giving your average donut muncher a torture tool is a Bad Idea.
