I can't disagree with you. It is concievable to me that they came down too hard on the guy and also they covered themselves. I'm not too naive to imagine it. None the less, in reading the article and evaluateing the tone of the guys own words, I think it is also likely the guys a jerk that provoked the situation and got more than he asked for. No sympathy here nor for that matter concerns that the same is likely to happen to me.

Some people just seem to have a natural "I'm here to cause trouble" look on their face. My brother is one such. He never DOES anything, but everyone assumes he's going to; he gets pulled over, searched, jerked around by authority, and when it happens he gets red in the face and shakes and looks guilty. It happened when he was a little boy and I was mad at him, for that matter. He looks guilty when innocent.

We need to require our public servants (sarcasm? sometimes) to keep evidence against us when we have done something actionable--or they must let us go. And we must be permitted to keep evidence against them. Who was on the scene to advocate for a pregnant woman and her volatile husband? But security could just keep calling more biased "witnesses" for their side.
