    If he was black, he would have been shot.

      Did you see the part where the cop was reaching for his gun, and the guy started pleading, "Please don't shoot me!"? He was about to get shot and was saved only by the fact that there was a witness with a camera.

      Police pull their guns a lot, and somehow most cops go their entire career without shooting someone.

    Allow me to put my arm chair lawyer pants on for a moment. Isn't this a violation of search and seizure since you know, the cop didn't have a warrant?

      You don't always need a warrant, but without more information an exception doesn't seem readily apparent...

      And after a more scrutinized reading...it wasn't his house. So he has no 4th amendment protection in his friend's house.

    When the guy asks why he's under arrest, the cop says: "for resisting an officer." But the "resisting" crime he was charged with, according to the Times-Picayune, was actually "resisting arrest."

    Ergo: the arrest he was resisting was for resisting the arrest he was resisting. Or, to put it another way, he was resisting arrest, and the arrest he was resisting was for that same act of resistance that caused him to be arrested.

    Should be a very interesting case for the D.A. to argue in court.

      Maybe the cop was from the future.

      Shouldn't it be "Louisiana, breaux."?

      Bonus asshole points for it being an LA County Sheriff.

      Anecdotal, but most of the douchebags who were straight-up racist, unrepentant bullies from my high school, who had no real progress or growth later on in life, became cops for my hometown. There's nothing more fitting and depressing than that.

      I was really worried that the cop would do something to the dog that was jumping up on him.

    Yesterday, the New Orleans Police Department announced that its officers will begin wearing cameras to record all of their interactions with the public.

    Thank GOODNESS. I really hope all PDs follow suit.

      So, if you resist an unlawful arrest you are lawfully charged with resisting arrest...

      That is unfortunately the case. Honestly, your only recourse when being falsely detained or arrested is to roll with it and hope that later on you can get a judge or some other authority figure to vouch for you. If they want to, cops can detain or arrest you for the sole purpose of dishing out punishment. They might not be able to charge you with anything but you can never get that night in jail back and you'll never see the money you have to spend on your defense again.

        "Breaux was charged with "battery of a police officer, resisting arrest with violence, disorderly conduct and disturbing the peace."

        Fucking bullshit. This was textbook police harassment with requisite bogus charges to justify it within a legal context. Breaux's lame neighbor is likely someone who starts shit constantly knowing that he has a thug cop to back him up if necessary. So sick of this.

          Let's be clear- incidences like are not cases of a few bad apples corrupting the system. This IS the system.

          Poor people who get into arguments with neighbors get arrested and assaulted- rich people who diddle children get to walk away.

          That's our system of justice.
