He did refuse to leave. Or do you think the CSO called UCPD for nothing and made it all up? How long do you think it takes UCPD to respond? 2 minutes, 10 minutes? Why was he still there when UCPD arrived?

Do you know what, when the CSO asked for his ID, all he had to do was say "Yes sir, I seem to have forgotten my ID, let me save my work and I'll be out of here". Politeness and following VALID requests for compliance to REASONABLE rules is a winning social strategy.

So many young people seem to think that resisting authority is equal to resisting tyranny and they haven't a clue.

If we make bad manners a crime, everyone will be a criminal.

In any event,bad manners do not excuse the criminal acts by the cops or make them legal.

"So many young people seem to think that resisting authority is equal to resisting tyranny and they haven't a clue."

Thats not why he did it. He is a Muslim and he hates America. He set a trap for the UCP and they were stupid enough to fall in. He knows that when LEOs assault people like him unreasonably, as they did in this case, it undermines the Patriot Act.

He is our enemy but as long as we don't have the b@lls to deport Muslims like him they will continue to undermine us by using our freedoms against us.

In a Muslim country an incident like this wouldn't even be noticed, but in the US we expect our LEOs to respect basic human rights. When they don't, as in this case, it weakens laws designed to protect us. This kid knew that, and was hoping for just the sort of brutality that the UCP gave him. He is evil but the UCP is criminally stupid.
