Yes, it's harassment. Have you ever been harassed by police? I have, and it is not fun.

I'm a typical HN reader who does not engage in any criminal behavior... yet on a few occasions I've been the victim of cops who are on a power trip. These experiences taught me that the less power police have the better.

If the cops can't do real police work and solve a crime and arrest someone, they have no business messing with anyone...



Tell that to the women who was crying.


Not sure what your point is. There will always be people who want police to come in and mistreat their neighbors... and sometimes that desire may be justifiable, but that doesn't mean that the mistreatment is appropriate.


There will also be times where people want police to come in to police their neighbors (if they're doing something wrong).
