where did it say he refused to cooperate with the officer?

The fact he was arrested and booked downtown by the officer is quite clear to me he wasn't cooperating. But maybe you have a different definition of "cooperating" as well., since you consider what many consider as a perfectly acceptable deterrent to crime to be "unreasonable".

Let's say you go to San Francisco and an SF police officer stops you, demands you lower your pants and bend over for a little SF-style fun, and you refuse (we'll assume you'd refuse for the sake of argument). You are then arrested and booked downtown by the officer for refusing to cooperate.

Can we then cast aspersions on you for being arrested for failure to cooperate with the officer? Yes, it's the same thing: in both cases the officer made a demand that the law did not allow, the citizen exercised his right to refuse, and the citizen was arrested for it.

You've already shown that you think we should act like sheep when corporations attempt to trample over our rights, so extending that to government officials isn't a stretch. To you any right we have can be instantly dismissed by a corporate CEO or a government official on a whim.

Be true to yourself. Remember to vote Democrat next November.
