True. But the police have a duty to investigate suspicious activity which includes asking questions of any citizen they think may provide useful information.
(and this WAS an illegal detention) based on the asking of seemingly silly questions or the taking of seemingly suspicious photographs.
You'd be right if that was what they based their detention on. I imagine it was his belligerent, uncooperative attitude coupled with suspicious behaviour that gave them just cause.
The author sounds like a jerk to me and this is HIS version of the story. The story in post #16 is something to get bent about, not this.
You win the "Dumbest statement of the day". Are you so retarded that you don't understand that there are terrorists who would love to kill every American just to see the blood? There is nothing wrong with stopping an attack on our people. You are one weird duck.
