That is just the state of affairs in America today... try walking down your street with a bottle of beer... The cops would stop you and treat you as if you were some kind of evil spector from hell... now do that in any other country in the world... I love cops, I know it's a tuff job, but they are encouraged to destroy everyone blindly. That incedent can have a real impact on my life becuase I want to work in the public sector, but I won't let it stop me, I just have to do a little more than the average guy.

Yeah I know. We should arm the citizens more and arm the cops less!!

I can't think of anywhere that you can walk down the street carrying a bottle of beer.

Even in New Orleans, where you can walk down the street with an alcoholic beverage in your hand, you need to put it in a plastic "go cup" because of the risk of broken glass.

You can do like the winos do and wrap a brown paper bag around your bottle, but I don't think that fools anybody.

Bottom line, put your drink in a plastic cup.

Or you can stay home, you probably won't get in trouble that way.
