That is why you don’t offer up anything to the police. If he said nothing to them they would have just left after not finding an intoxicated man. Once he offered up that he had taken him home and would not tell them where that was the cops were pissed that he didn’t answer their question and the fire department was pissed because they lost out on a billable transport.

  yup. The only statement a cop will ever get from me is “I don’t know anything.”

  nah fuck that shit, he was respectful to the fukcing cops and if they were reasonable people they should have fucking went home, the guy didn’t look intoxicated at all nor did he behave as such and the fuckiing person who made the call said it wasn’t him!!! Nah, there’s no excuse none, zero, NOTHING for their behavior. There should be “he should’ve” cuz a well trained officer wouldn’t have behaved like that! Not only did one guy make the assumption, none of his guys told him to quit, nah, those cops were bitches point blank.

If the police thought Ahmed was the intoxicated one, why did they treat him like a criminal and not help him as they were called to do?

  Cops don’t help. Ambulances generally do. I wish Ahmed would have left the dude to his own devices. I bet he hasn’t kicked over dime the first to help with his legal expenses.

  Nah, it ain’t about that. You just going to leave some dude to the mercy of the PD? If we don’t help each other none of us will survive.

So a man who had no reason to be arrested was resisting arrest? And what lawful order did he ignore?
The charges are the same bogus charges they use when they want to persecute someone for not genuflecting to the police...

  This “resisting arrest” is the worst.
  He was probably in a lot of pain, as four cops were putting their weight on him, and was probably moving so he doesn’t tear his rotator cuff or dislocate his shoulder — and that becomes “resisting arrest” and not “trying to avoid permanent injury to his own body.”
  I also hate how the onus to “calm down” is on him, when they are the ones putting him in the stressful position.

  Any time I hear someone was arrested for resisting arrest I know that the arrest was bullshit. Resisting arrest if a cya charge that tells you that the person was arrested for no reason and the cops had to make something up.

  Looked white, acted white, it’s white! I don’t care anymore. If they’re wearing that uniform, I don’t trust any of them ... white, black, brown, yellow, red, purple, orange, whatever. BLUE is giving us ALL The Blues! It’s getting worse, everybody. They all need to be fired, from the Pohleece Chief on down, and revamp the system of how these MF’s get hired in the first place! Shit

They’d have probably just tried to arrest the neighbor for public drunkenness in his home (either wasting money, or coercing him into a plea), carted him off to a hospital then depression ward (not sure if warranted, + costly), or shot the dude for being threateningly passed out. I don’t blame Ahmed for a minute - and given the bit about knocking and seeing the man inside, it seems like he was supervised.
Oh, Dolt 45 is apparently sharing memes about Mueller, the Clintons and Obama in prison for treason. Incompetent imbecile.

  Having lived in Montgomery County I can say that they are constantly looking for ways to get revenue. I would not hesitate to believe they were looking to ticket the drunk to make a few bucks and he was blocking them...so they got pissed.
  I’ve seen them create situations for drivers forcing them to be ticketed because the cops are creating bottlenecks in intersections by the way they pull someone over, and then when the light changes, they keep it going by stopping the next poor soul stuck in the intersection in the same bad spot to stop someone. It’s all a scam to collect money.

  Lawyers cost money and time. More likely they’ll charge him with 8 different crimes that all mean the same thing, let him plead down to one or two charges, he’ll have a record for the rest of his life that will be used against him in any further interactions with law enforcement, he’ll pay a fine the court system thinks is small but the average person fines devastating, then he’ll be put on probation.

  This is so bleak, but you’ve basically described what we all know will happen. I have been bingeing Serial Season 3 now that the midterms have passed--and this is par for the course.

I live a few miles up the road from, and work two neighborhoods over, from where he was arrested. This is a super diverse area here in Silver Spring / Montgomery County.
If these 3rd district cops see every non-white person as a threat, then they must fear literally more than half of their beat because whites make up about just under half of the residents here.
I am pissed, disgusted, and ashamed that this kind of police behavior is becoming the new normal and I am finally seeing it here. I am a white/asian (that looks Mexican to everyone I meet for the first time) whose wife is black. I am very scared she could be the next Sandra Bland if she is stopped by the cops.

  Cops live in fear everyday. Hence the reason every little thing involves lots of loud voices and usually guns being pulled.

So now we add “being helpful while black” to the list.

They neighbors and even the person calling the police are asking the police to chill and stand down, but god forbid those cops get their egos checked.

  Technically, that’s to the ‘reasons to get arrested’ list, not the ‘reasons white people call the police’ list.

“Do I look white to you?” another cop quipped, putting herself between bystanders accusing the police of racist behavior
This is the police equivalent to “I have a black friend so I can’t be racist”

Goes like this:
1. drunk person. (needs help)
2. Someone calls for emergency services (medically good)
3. Good neighbor walks drunk man home (socially good, medically not good. We don’t know if there’s more of an issue which opens up liability issues.)
4. Emergency services arrive (good)
5. Good neighbor explains that he took care of problem and took him home. (Good. cooperation)
6. Emergency services asks for location (good. they have to verify there’s no underlying medical condition past being drunk.)
7. Good neighbor refuses to give addrress. (Bad. Emergency services needs to verify the patient is not in medical distress or likely to develop issues past just being drunk. Also bad for disobeying a lawful command from a police officer. It’s opening the door a lot of negative possibilities. Also bad as it’s not his job to determine or declare when a situation is resolved. Especially medical ones)
8. Detaining happens that could lead to arrest. (Already looking at obstructing by not providing address to a medical investigation which opens up to searching)
9. The public intervenes to explain what happened. (Good. The address is now given)
10. Police refuse to release the good neighbor. (bad call should have let him go with a warning and explanation why the address was important and the problems he’s causing by obstructing a medical investigation)
11. police decide to strike back for the invonvience by citing him for marijuana and otehr civil infractures. (petty. but also hard to not take in the fact if address was given detaining and searching wouldn’t have happened despite walking around with weed that you shouldn’t have. but still. a petty retaliatory move. bad call. Definitely could have handled that differently.)
