A Sickening Display of "Law Enforcement" - Orlando Food Crimes

[StephenG]

Look I don't normally post this kind of shit, but this is just ridiculous.

If you haven't seen this yet, you should certainly check it out.

If you live in the area, please provide an insiders perspective...



have at it boys and girls.

Whats wrong with it?

The cops were justified here. Those people giving out food had their hearts in the right place, but without a permit *which is EASY to obtain* they would not have been held accountable for food poisoning, have had any official food handling oversight which would protect the kids. Again, I totally would be on board to work a soup kitchen or a feed the kids community service event, but the cops here were doing the right thing since this requires a permit to do.

I understand your point, and the law, but it's more about having some trace of empathy.

Read up on the Orlando permits for that kind of thing, they are VERY limited.

Good ole excuse, its the law right?
It was the law one time that blacks and whites couldn't piss together,
does that make it right?

Obviously I can see the glaring difference in racism and arresting people
feeding the homeless - the point being that just because it's the law, that
doesn't make it all right, and that's a lame excuse to be a complete asshole.

Good job Stephen way to use the jiu jitsu forum to preach your political views

I'm sure big business has it set up so those permits are really easy for them to get. :-P

I completely agree with ya Stephen. This is the kind of thing that make cops look really bad. I understand they were "doing their job" but good lord people. How many actual dangerous crimes took place throughout the city of Orlando while they were serving and protecting. I was a cop in South FL at one point, before my military disabilities caught up to me, and I would have done the exact same thing those cops did back then. I am a completely different person now and I credit alot of that to 10th Planet. It has opened my eyes to the grey world, nothing is usually black and white. I lived like it was for a long time and it was either wrong or right. I am still like that to a point but I see with my eyes not with the mans eyes. This was clearly morally wrong, but it was also against the law unfortunately. Of course Im originally from Texas and have never seen anything like that happen where people get arrested for feeding people. I really doubt you would have to pay for a stupid permit that says you can help people in a public park.
