Ridiculous statement. In our system it is the DA who files the charges in the first place. Police only have the power to arrest, not charge.
There's a good lesson for mother and son here. Son: don't get arrested, it's unpleasant to your life. Mom: your wealth is not your son's income. Time for junior to pay his own way.
ps. Where's dad?
Most of the detainees are taking ACDs, adjournments in contemplation of dismissal which means that if you dont get arrested again within six months, the records are supposed to be sealed, but if you do get arrested again, you have to face both the old and new charges. Others received DATs, desk appearance tickets, essentially a summons.
Theres something fundamentally wrong with 10 hours in jail for shoplifting and 48 hours for protesting, says NYCLU executive director Donna Lieberman.
Teaching yoga in Japan. (from one of the articles I read)
His father, who is Japanese and works in Fukuoka as a yoga teacher..
Fukuoka, now there's a funny word.
You could say that his pop said, Fuk-u-ok-a.
When you play with fire, you just might get burnt!
Hiding exculpatory evidence is NOT a technicality!
Indymedia sends out a press release and SABRINA TAVERNISE of The New York Times writes an article on it.
Mulder's been here three years longer than you have. I seriously doubt he's a troll. Get a grip. Simply because he has a different opinion than yours does not necessarily make him a troll. I've seen conservatives use "Amerika" many times, especially in stories about the abuses of government. I've also seen them use "fedgov" and "comsymp" to communicate the same sentiment.
Most likely because most people make sure they follow the law. ESPICIALLY when they are at protests.
I have been to a few and I can tell you I make darn sure to know the law and what is required of me while I am protesting- and if anyone set anything on fire-I would head for the hills.
WHY? Because it is against the law.
Being in the wrong place at the wrong time ,with wrong people- who are breaking the law in a chaotic environment are not rights we have under the US Constitution.
We do not have laws or rights to protect "country bumpkins" from using poor judgment.
What is the the "Doe in the headlights" defense?
The cops weren't corrupt and this man even said so...."For months he has proclaimed his innocence, saying that in the chaos of the crowd, the police just picked the wrong person."
More of an honest mistake than a case of corruption IMHO.
In a true police state, you would now be in prison for saying that. However, fortunately for you, being an ignorant ass is not a crime in this country. Heck, you could even make president. There's even a political party that uses the ass as its formal symbol (how appropriate is that?). I would suggest you look them up, but you're probably already a member.
Fellow FReeper Mulder revealed an anti-government abuse bias.
The troll crap has long since gotten out of hand.
Equating political protest with gang activity is un-American.
It is Amerikan, however.
But that is what they are protesting in the first place.
They have been getting away with it for far too long.
I personally would like to see some more heads roll for it.
It is simple: If you are going to protest follow the laws.
A political protest is not a Law free zone.
Good Heavens what are you advocating here?
If this were a police state all of those freaks would have been arrested and they would never be seen or heard from again. We know that is not the case.
Enough with the "Amerika" stuff.
Learn some history,will ya?
This type of generalization won't cut it. If you believe some individual(s) on this thread are implying that, it is up to you to respond directly to those individuals, so that they have the opportunity to respond directly to your statement.
Glad to see you are enjoying your stay in America.
