What is wrong with Toronto COPS?!! part 1

July 13, 2008 construction on Bathurst Street north of Bloor has slowed traffic. Local group The New Kings played an impromptu set to entertain the delayed motorists and locals.
Then the police arrived. And stopped traffic. As asked The New Kings stopped playing. Then when lead singer Michael Louis Johnson asked the cops to stop blocking traffic and suggested that the cars honk to get the police to move, he was handcuffed and taken away. Watch the video and see if you can tell why. I can't.

I don't understand why people resist arrest. There is literally nothing good that can come of it

[xcdnx]

fuckin hippies

It is illegal it is called disturbing the peace. Considering that the police are asking them nicely to stop they want to argue and telling the cops they are blocking traffic. I wouldn't want a bunch of people making lots of racket in front my home or street. Do they have license to set up all that equipement? NO This is just dumb. Asking people to honk horns on top of the racket.

I'm reading...''the cops were being nice'' You cant just ignore a request from an Officer''...''hippies''

C'mon guy's! Where is your sense of humour? I guess your all from Toronto; with some kind of sexual problem and lobotomized with law and order...Are you all in the police?

Ugh, save it for Burning Man, hipsters.

The cops were being nice...and patient...but your friend on the other way was clearly in the wrong

Anyone else just want to punch these hippy fucks in the face?

Those policemen have incredible restraint.

Sorry dude, they told you to stop, you disobeyed, then you argued, then you resisted arrest. I think they where pretty patient with you. Go cry a river some where else. I am so sick of you idiots who think you can do what you want, when you want and think you can just ignore a request from an Officer of the Law. Get over yourself.

The cops here are trying their level best to not arrest anyone. If i was the cop there would be three people arrested for verbally assaulting an officer and obstruction
