But in order to get the ticket, you have to present ID, which he refused to do. So you have to be cuffed and taken to the Precinct where your ID can be verified, you can get a ticket, and be on your way. People on this thread have no idea what is happening in this video, and it shows.

Do you see what's happening in this video? Do you see the people berating the cops? That's what happens in NYC these days. You don't need 12 cops to arrest one loser. You need 12 cops to make sure the cops putting the cuffs on an uncooperative suspect don't get jumped.

I find it hilarious when FReepers, who claim to support law and order, see a video and jump all over the cops who arresting someone for violating the law. But I guess you're all big fans of people who smoke weed in parks near kids. It's interesting to see how far the "back the blue" sentiment goes on this site.
