It’s probably just a nice break between revenue generation and civil asset forfeiture to hassle the old weak and infirm. Keeps them tough and up on their toes so they can take on MS-13 or other transnational gangs.
If I’m not mistaken Little Rock is known as one of the most dangerous and drug ridden cities in America. I’m glad an old man with a God Bless sign is what triggers them .
I think the cop was quite calm about the whole thing. Begging is different than just holding a sign and while I respect their right to protest and or beg, I dont like being accosted by them. Just step to the sidewalk, asshole.
Calm as he violated his constitutionally protected rights .
This guy makes his living out of suing cities for rights violations, he’s never lost and it happened every time - seems that eventually some city somewhere would have some remedial training on what is and isn’t illegal . Or keep having g the tax slaves foot the bill for civil rights lawsuits
Either one works I guess .
Little Rock being meth central I wonder if they hassle the street level dealers with soliciting and loitering or if they get paid enough to look the other way ?
