So he wasn’t passing bad checks, he passed a bad bill for cigarettes.
Maybe the bill was bad, maybe not.
All that police power for a drunk guy who maybe passed a bad bill for cigarettes.
I researched that today Many reports used the word forgery But they also said “fake bill” or Fake 20.
Drunks and or druggies are easy to handle they always obey commands and never fight with you.
So only one officer is ever needed when dealing with them.
/s/
Did he even know it was a “bad” bill?
Could it be possible for someone to unknowingly pass a fake bill?
Say I use a hundred dollar bill to buy $36 worth of something somewhere. I get three twenties as part of the change. One is a counterfeit bill, but I don’t know it.
I then use it at another store the next day to buy something. Am I guilty of passing a bad bill?

Somewhere in Frisco, officials are going..."See? This is why we let misdemeanor crimes go unpunished."
However, IMO, both of these liberal extremes are bad. Dangerous for society.
If only these idiot cities would try a conservative form of government.... they would not have these problems.
