Cops, hrmph. About two months ago I was stopped by a cop. I had an issue with my license plate(my fault). Apparently though, you're not allowed to just run random license plate checks, at least in Connecticut. You have to have a reason beforehand. What he gave me was obstruction of view, citing my air freshener(dinky little Christmas tree). The plate was fixed(after he ordered a tow for me costing me $90 when I was a mile away from home, he also threatened me with it being towed to the police station) - and that was dropped, but I still had to go to court and end up paying $35 over the obstruction of view. While I was waiting for the tow, plenty of people performed dangerous/illegal maneuvers as they passed me and the cop car. Not to mention, the whole time I wasn't even speeding.

When I was younger, I used to speed a lot, and I got plenty of tickets for it. That's on me, I realize it's my mistake. I wasn't following the rules, I was being stupid, I made the roads less dangerous - and if everyone had been driving like me, it wouldn't have been great. But running random plates and then cooking up a reason to pull someone over is something different entirely.

If there is more than one person you are trying to subdue, you NEVER go to the ground. You give up any height advantage to that person. You also want to have both hands free especially in altercations. The punch was not the best option, but it worked to subdue. He also pulled the punch as raes said. It was a very very light pop.

Thing is, that is your fault. You said so yourself.
 
Update on this the 17 year old apologized to the police officer. Never thought I'd see that, I was expecting some bogus lawsuit.
 
or maybe her parents put a boot up her ass and set her strait about getting in a cop's face.

strait = a narrow channel of water, "the strait of gibraltar".
straight = without curves, unbending, "the straight and narrow".

I'll be honest, I'm rather shocked by this turn of events... Have we a corroborating press release of some sort?

Previously, Rosenthal was charged in November with second-degree robbery. According to prosecutors, she punched a 15-year-old boy in the face while she and a group of youths were on their way to a rave in South Seattle Aug. 28. The boy told police that his cellphone and $20 were stolen in the incident.

A 14-year-old boy told police that he was punched in the head and his hat was stolen.

Authorities say the case was dismissed when the boys refused to testify.

In April 2008, Rosenthal was charged with third-degree theft after she allegedly stole a minivan in Tukwila, prosecutors said. Kent police said she used a screwdriver to break the ignition and start the vehicle.

Model citizen right here. I'm surprised she actually apologized.
 
lololol, karma's a bitch.
 
Sounds like maybe a deal was cut. A "you apologize to US, and we won't press charges on YOU" kind of deal.

Never fails to depress me how many people seem to think that they can wind up in this sort of situation and the press magically won't find out that they've got a history...

So what you're saying is that you *know* the proper spelling, yet choose to butcher your native tongue?

I don't know which is more shameful, actual ignorance or selective stupidity.

and i don't know WITCH is sadder. the internet tough guy image or your inability to ignore a mistake. so what i used the wrong STRAIT. you can still understand what is being said. people like you make me so happy i have no OCD tendencies.
 
there's no internet tough guy image; i correct grammar and spelling outside of here as much as i do in here. it's simply a pet peeve of mine.


yes, i realize that i am saying this while typing in entire lowercase, too. i understand the irony.

if you have a legitimate beef with me correcting your grammar now, after what; five years? then something's been brewing and it's not something i can really help, and i can only offer my condolences to you for bottling it up as long as you have.

otherwise, don't falsely attribute obsessive-compulsive where it doesn't exist.
 
you also don't put 2 spaces after your periods, which my english teacher told me was a must for all papers.
