1263325873 milwaukee bike polo crew arrested for playing bike polo

technically, i believe the charge was trespassing, but READ on. the guy can’t spell worth a jar of dicks, but you’ll get the point. it’s APPALLING. even the guys at the station were wondering why the sherrifs were wasting their time on this when there’s violent criminals out there.

+ bikes impounded in the suburbs — all players live in the city.
+ players were not allowed to lock their bikes to a rack instead of impound.
+ players WERE allowed to gather up their stuff and put it in their bags — with their hands zipTied…
+ …so the sherriffs gathered up all their stuff, which means it all went helter-skelter into whatever bag was nearby.
+ not one single weapon, warrant, or drug found — after almost 12 hours of processing.

what the fuck is going on here? i can appreciate that they may have been on private property and that’s fine. but really? the sherriffs don’t have anything better to do? couldn’t they just give em tickets and be done with it? they had to call in a fucking police BUS to cart 11 guys down to the station to undergo 12 fucking hours of processing?

what a waste of resources. i’d have taken off as soon as i saw the cops, fuck that. of course, if i had been there, that whole "no weapons, no drugs" thing wouldn’t have been the case…
