POLICE STATE News: PIGS arrest homeless man for charging cellphone

What the fuck? Seriously? I've seen people in $100,000 sports cars doing this and no one hassles them but a homeless man does it and they get anally raped by the justice system?

Fuck dis shit, mang. No justice, no peace.

What's the freakin plug there for then?

Usually for state workers to plug stuff in for repairs.

For the pigs to charge their TASER's. You don't get to use it.

It is a murder system.

The weak get murdered.

The rich tell the stupid who to murder.

The stupid are pawns.

The Rich think they tricked everyone.

Everyone is traumatized.

homeless? Cellphone? does not compute.

Odd I have a home, and no cell phone.
Seems better somehow.

How in the fuck can a destitute homeless man AFFORD A CELL PHONE?

I smell a rat.

Cops are not here to protect the citizens, but to uphold the rules set be TPTB.

Obamaphone?

The bum broke the law , now he has to pay the price. Don't break the law and you won't go to jail .. funny how that works!

Butthurt, Piggy?

You will enjoy camp fema.

Well, homes are a little more expensive than cell phones,
its quite logical that one can afford a phone and not afford a home.

Not all homeless people are completely penniless; they might have a little left over from before they became homeless or maybe some from panhandling or odd jobs.

There are cheap cell phone plans, maybe that's what he has. Could be he owned the phone instrument itself before he became homeless.

Could be he is trying to find a job and needs the phone for that purpose as well as to communicate with family, friends or to summon police help if needed. Although I doubt if he will want to call police for anything in the future.

homeless /= absolutely no money

Pretty pathetic, but at least he has 3 meals a day and a place to sleep out of the cold for now. Why couldn't they just ticket the poor guy.sheesh.

No, it is there for both the public and gov workers to use, because the utilities are paid for with OUR tax dollars.

Only in America can a HOMELESS,JOBLESS.waste of a human life have money to pay for fucking cell phone service.......He WAS stealing and should have been arrested!

Who uses the word "pig" anymore? Youre stuck in a time bubble.

It must really suck being you.

Plug on cell phone > outlet in picnic area.

Did it say the outlet had some kind of lock on it?

Oh FFS! The "LAW". Gimme a break. How much did it cost the city to arrest this guy opposed to how much electricity he 'stole"?

And what more serious crimes were people getting away with while this cop was busy collaring this hardened criminal?

How much time does the cop spend at work talking on HIS personal cell phone while "on the clock"? Does officer Friendly ever charge his cell at work? THAT would be office theft. Should he arrest himself? His co-workers? The judges in their chambers? I'm *sure* they would never do that and break "the law".

And how much more respect did the police lose because of this petty crap? Couldn't just walk up and say "you have to find somewhere else to charge your phone". Nope. Had to talk the time, energy and money to bring a charge (no pun) against the guy knowing he has no way of paying it. By walking up and talking the guy he might have made a contact he could use later if something really bad does go down.

Geez. Our tax dollars hard at work, saving us trillions in energy costs.

I read an idot!

homeless does not mean destitute

you closed minded retard

HE was charging his OBAMA PHONE

Cell phone doesn't equal smart phone.

Homeless people are viewed as garbage who brought their fate on themselves. Like its their fault that they were alone, got laid off, evicted/foreclosed, and had no other recourse but the streets. Or maybe he got divorced, lost the house, and had no money for shelter. But your average moron is going to say he was an alcoholic or a drug addict, or some other degenerate.

I am getting a deep rooted hatred for humanity.

Just noticed recently that all the electric outlets outside our city's buildings have covers and locks on them. That must be to prevent people from using the electricity.

I work for our library, and inside we have any number of outlets that our public can (and do) use to power up equipment/laptops/cellphones. We don't mind, and it helps those who really need it (and those who just forgot to charge up the previous evening). Just come inside. Don't break the lock and try to do it outside. That'll just piss off the powers that be.

I have two homeless friends, they have their social security but that is it. One sleeps in his storage unit in the daytime and cruises the streets and various places all night and the other is presently in a shelter for awhile.
Without cellphones they would be so restricted from any kind of contact with friends or loved ones.
