So it's illegal to ride bikes on the sidewalk but you can get hit in the street (often times on purpose) and now jokes are outlawed too. Maybe we shouldn't trust the poh-leese
My favorite part is when a van and three cars are focused on the joke teller and there's a drunk guy bobbling around in the middle of the street right near the cops with zero reaction.
As ridiculous as this entire situation is (except for the dude getting a ticket for riding on the sidewalk -- fuck him), it's pretty clear that he was not arrested for telling a joke. Am I on Reddit or something now?
Sometimes you just got to use the sidewalk. I find it pretty hard to understand why people have such extreme reactions to someone cruising on a bike on blocks of cement instead of asphalt.
No one ever said that, and in fact, the police and military are routinely observed to be, in some circles, jobs for professional bullies. I am sure I have almost heard that exact phrase uttered.
