re: Tharold Simon explains his version of events leading to arrest

What you don't realize is that playing your music loud is disturbing the peace and it bothers your neighbors so they call us to handle it. When you play your music loud you disturb people who don't want to hear that music.

Hey I agree man, I'm just telling you that a typical young black male constantly has his music on high unless he sees the cops. I don't believe for a second that he turned his music up to "get back" at the cop. To me it sounds like a black neighborhood where nobody would be bothered by the music but that isn't even the big point of the arrest. I think the cop didn't want to feel shamed in front of all those people which is why he made a bigger deal out of it and I'm banking that Simon was acting like a typical arrogant 20 something when he is told what to do.
