Yeah, uh, the guy was following the law. So in this case, the cop IGNORED the law.

Clearly you didn't watch the video and didn't see the part where the cop read, off of his phone, the clause that stated the guitar-guy was allowed to play in the subway.

So your post goes against exactly what you were trying to assert. Nice work there, chief.
How exactly does choosing to not make it a bigger deal than needs be

and coming back again the next day to continue business as usual go against the fiber of what our country stands for?

Using a little wisdom and keeping things in there proper perspective instead of needlessly escalating them isn't un-American.

The idea of completely surrendering your rights because an authority is being a dick to you isn't un-American?

Or worse, to stand up for something you have a legal right to do, watch an Officer read aloud that you have a legal right to do it, then still get arrested, thrown in jail, and forced to pay monetarily isn't un-American?

Guy does nothing wrong, cop tells him to stop. Guy points out what he is doing legal, cop comes and throws him in jail cause he feels like it.

Yeah, sounds like Liberty and Justice for all.

Also, if that camera phone wasn't rolling, you absolutely know that guy had no shot at fighting that ticket.

I'm fucking vexed  
Modus Operandi : 10/22/2014 10:17 pm : link
That the dipshit filming was more focused on the battle of nitwits and not the chicken in the short leather skirt - whom he simply pushes out of the frame - lest he miss some genius constitutional argument over bad singing.

Completly surrendering your rights  
steve in ky : 10/22/2014 10:22 pm : link
would be to leave and never return. Drawing a line in the sand and escalating the situation with one insecure uninformed cop has nothing to do with surrendering your rights and more to do with ones maturity level.

I'll say it again, the situation was simply not a big deal and taking the high road after having proven his point would probably have gone much further in changing the cops views on things than acting as he did.

Now if he showed up day after day and the same cop kept harassing him even after being made aware of the exception to the law then you have an entirely different situation. However if he had left after proving his point I seriously doubt he ever hears from that cop again and is left to sing as he chooses all rights intact and making the bigger impression on everyone involved.

Sometimes understanding the situation and how it relates to the bigger picture is more beneficial.

Do you honestly believe that by submitting and just leaving he was going to change that cop's mindset or opinion at all?

None of this is that guy's fault though, you said it yourself. He was within his rights and this is on the cop. The cop isn't enforcing the law, and is just fucking with people cause he's pissed off.

I get where you're coming from with the whole "is it worth it, turn the other cheek" mentality. And usually it makes sense in most encounters. But it's sad to think that people can get arrested for doing nothing illegal because a cop thought they were disrespectful.

Again, goes against the core tenants of the freedoms we are supposed to enjoy.

And I also don't see how drawing in a line in the sand has nothing to do with surrendering his rights. It's completely surrendering his rights. He's submitting his legal right to do something cause the cop felt the need to make his own rules as opposed to enforcing the ones in place.

That's the definition of giving up your rights.

Yes it is sad  
steve in ky : 10/22/2014 10:42 pm : link
But in life everything is not nor ever will be completely fair and pleasant in all situation and it is of little benefit to lose perspective of that and become outraged at every small minded person you may encounter.

If a situation warranted it I would probably be the first in line standing up to police wronging someone and as I mentioned in another post I have done so before and at much greater risk than this nonsense on the tape. The point is this situation isn't anything alarming. The cop made a mistake and he should have been secure enough to laugh it off and be on his way but since he wasn't how best deal with that one individual cop in that moment. It isn't about surrendering his rights just being the bigger man at that point understanding the cop was probably too embarrassed and insure to easily back down. Giving him that out isn't a horrible or weak thing to do but the more secure thing to do.

Like the old saying, know best when to pick your battles.

lol. What, at like 10 PM?

I worked at a Guitar Center back in the day. I sold a lot of shit to a lot of balding, middle aged men who wanted to relive their youth and pretend they were David Gilmour or Roger Waters, dipshit.

I don't like Pink Floyd or classic rock. Most 25 year olds don't. Get the sand outta your vagina over it, you fucking weirdo.

okay, so if you can see how it comes off, why don't you just fucking say "that's not what I meant" instead of pulling some irrelevant garbage thread from like 6 months ago out of your ass in some effort to prove your 'internet superiority brah' over me.

cause when you re-read your posts, it seems you can tell it comes off a different way.

or, you know, you can continue being a condescending dickhead.

btw i have no fucking shame about that carnival game. i didn't twiddle my dick going to carnivals while growing up. if i burned a couple hundred bucks while drunk and having fun at a street fair, i really don't give a shit. but okay, carry on and proceed as if it has anything to do with the fact that your post came off completely different than what you intended....

what are you, a fucking moron? i was asking for help linking up salesforce and quickbooks. yeah i sure was stroking my dick and promoting myself over in that thread! i've literally come to BBI to get sales related advice in the past (in fact from steve in KY himself) so you can honestly go fuck yourself.

i have no idea what the fuck "engagement" you're referring to. you must have a truly pathetic life to start creating fights with strangers and pretending people on the internet give two shits about you.

plus, i have no clue what you mean by replacement music. are you serious mad that people have different tastes in music? CAN'T SPELL CRAP WITHOUT RAP, AMIRITE FOLKS?

like i said before, you're one sad fucking weirdo. you need a life dude.

To be fair though, it is Metropolitan ave and looks like the L train subway station (I think)... probably a couple hipsters in there. Not sure about yuppies though. I always kind of considered yuppies and hipsters to be opposites.

My opinion? They were a little testy without their double shot mocha frap venti. Fuck the police chants pouring in were just a byproduct of the root cause.

You know, for someone so against projecting and false accusing, you don't really mind doing it yourself. So far I'm a self-loathing bitter old man. What else do you have in your bag of tricks?

and i don't sell to consumers. I sell b2b.

Mike in Long Beach is irrelevant. A true pile oner, actually a scout for the sheep. Ignore him, he's nobody.

AGF, I am and have always been rocky thompson, I was banned because I hate Yankee fans.

I go further back on this board than just about anyone that's wasn't part of Pete's Corner originally. Hung with posters at camp, welcomed a few into my home and visited others.met my wife at training camp, had my wedding picture posted on the front page. Drove from North Carolina to tailgate with BBI friends and didn't even go to the game.

Most of the people I hung with don't post anymore because the idiots have taken over. The mob mentality has scared most of the intelligent posters off, well, maybe not scared them off but they just don't bother anymore. I won't relinquish what was once a good place. The mob doesn't like me, I don't care, if this was a bar, I guarantee you there wouldn't be as many so willing to jump on the pile.

It all boils down to Yankee fans which I will no longer discuss just thought you should know the truth...
