Description:
I went to get my co-worker a soda b/c he was stressed out and in the middle of something. I saw a couple of cops in a squad car swerve quickly towards a cyclist and harrass him out the window of the car. When they pulled up to the light next to eachother I remarked to the cyclist that he didn't seem to have done anything wrong. I also said the same to the cops in the car.
On my way back past the intersection, soda-pop in hand, I saw the cops had pulled over the cyclist and were writing him a ticket. I approached, with the intention of offering to be a witness for the cyclist at his court date. I was immediately told to get the hell out of there. I stood dumbfounded at his tone of voice and asked why. I was subsequently arrested for obstructing a "Peace Officer". I was handcuffed, put in a holding cell, treated like an imbecile, and stuck in jail for approx. seven hours. It was awful and humiliating and I did not deserve this. Neither did the cyclist.
