Right, they should have called another cruiser who would not have been available had a crime been committed elsewhere to fetch someone's jacket. You are aware how off this sounds? So our tax dollars now go not to prevent crime but to do shit because our police force is too afraid to speak to people and ask why they do what odd things they do? Why did that guy not stop and simply answer the questions of the cops? Because he did not have to? That's the reason?
He wanted to keep moving. Have you ever had to walk a few blocks in very cold conditions when you were, for whatever reason, a bit underdressed? You move fast and you keep moving. Its when you stop that you are in trouble. He just wanted to get home. The police should have fucked off the minute he told them he lived close by and was walking home from work.
Yep because all guys in the dark who wear tshirts in a snow storm and are under the influence are trustworthy of what they are saying right? So, no, what I would have done is stop, answer the cops' question and if that took longer than 30 seconds I would have asked whether I can sit in the cruiser as it is very cold. That is what I think every rational person would have done, white black or yellow or brown. I am 99% sure that if my story checked out the cops would have actually driven me home right after.
Your social justice bs does not work with me at all. You can drop it right now. And each time someone comes with common sense and logic to you, you weasel your way out. Don't let the door hit your behind on the way out. No point arguing with you anymore, you falsify what others state and if you can't nail them down on technicalities you run away. Of course I know what comes in response "... But... But... That was not common sense at all....
But there was a probability that he had just broke into someone's home and killed them on his way home from "work" and had to take off his bloody coat and leave it at the scene.
Detain him based on what? He didn't look right in the neighborhood? He didn't seem appropriately dressed? He was deemed to be intoxicated without a sobriety test or breath/blood diagnostic? Horseshit pal. They would not have detained me. Take a guess why.
