Or maybe just smarter.
Smarter than da coppahs.
Okay, so, I'm sitting there minding my own business like...half asleep.
Okay, so MAYBE I was in the cemetery, lying on a hill.
And I just might have had my arms out like __U_U__
When the next thing I know, a cop comes up and fucking kicks me.
I knew I wanted to hone myself into lightning quick take down reflexes for A REASON. This would be one. Self defense on a cop would've been epic lulz.
ANYWAY, I shoot bolt upright because some cop is fucking kicking me and it's really irritating. He starts questioning why the hell I'm in a cemetery lying on the ground with my eyes closed.
Why the hell do you think?
So then he asks my name and my DOB and where I live. I just was all "...over THERE..."
So then he says,
"Why are you lying in the cemetery?"
and I replied
"Cause I'm relaxing"
and he was getting all pissy and condescending, and was all
"This is a cemetery"
No shit? I thought I was in Wonka's factory. Damn, that's not chocolate I'm coated in?
"Yep."
"...this isn't a place to hang out,"
He asks me if I have any ID on me. Of course not, you twat.
Again, it's,
"This isn't a place to hang out,"
"And why not?"
He laughs. It's not like 'you're funny' it's like 'I'm better than you'. I was sitting there thinking the same thing about him, as a matter of fact. That I was better than him.
"So, what do you think people are going to think when you're lying there like that?"
I wouldn't know. Clearly, I'm not like other people.
"...That I'm cloud watching. Just like I was."
Another laugh.
"All sprawled out like that, with your eyes closed?"
If you knew my eyes were closed, tough guy, why did you kick me? Does it get your rocks off to kick a little unarmed sleeping teenage girl? You just dug yourself a big old hole, duder. I will bury you in it. Sure, I had my mp3 player in. It was very visible in my hand, and yet you kicked me. If I didn't get up when you talked to me, why didn't you just poke me? Why kick? I win.
"I'm here all the time, doing this."
"Okay. I'm not even going to argue with you. The park is a place to hang out. The cemetery isn't. Take it elsewhere. Got it?"
"Yep...bastard." then I walked off. The entire time, I was smirking right back at him, my mind screaming at me,
You're so much smarter than he is.
LMAO I just told my mom, and now she's all gonna call the state's attourney. This is the single most hilarious thing in my life. Sadly, though, I'm a teenage girl, so my tear ducts are all *FLOOD* even though I think this is one of the happiest days of my life.
Not to mention the fact that I'm pretty sure my town would let anyone be a cop. No education, except maybe a Harvard Degree in Asshology.
But, really, isn't this against the 8th amendment? No cruel and unusual punishment? Such as: "A severe punishment that is obviously inflicted in wholly arbitrary fashion," " "A severe punishment that is patently unnecessary," and, " "a punishment must not by its severity be degrading to human dignity,"
Following this train of thought, since I didn't commit a crime, though he didn't technically 'punish' me (save kicking me out of a public area), that makes his kicking me all the worse. Excessive force, anyone?
Logically, too, let's look at a whole other field for a moment. In psychology, the first thing you learn about is ethics. Are you allowed to physically harm your subject? No.
But did you know that you're not allowed to embarrass or humiliate them in any way, either? Yes, that's right. If you're doing an experiment involving people and you embarrass your subject, it is unethical, and they can sue you. Since the whole ordeal caused several people to be in the area staring at me, that was embarrassing. Which is why I wasn't snapping out intelligence faster than he could keep up with. I was quite embarrassed. It made my cheeks hot.
Okay, I wasn't really 'punished', and I didn't commit a crime. I was in a public place. The only thing wrong (besides the fact that I was afraid of my dress riding up) is that I was sleeping. That's not illegal. You're not allowed to have SEX in public. No laws say you cannot sleep in public. Yoh Asakura does it all the time *SHOT*
Not to mention, Misuzu Kamio always looked at the sky and the clouds. Hell, Yukito slept for days straight there by the beach. No one complained about HIM.
Nerdiness aside, since I didn't commit a crime, he couldn't punish me. Let alone lay a hand (or foot) on me while I was unarmed and unaggressive. I've said it several times now, I'm done. Meh.
Of course, all this is just my opinion (except for the constitutional rights. Those are fact). Constitutional rights are badass ;3
