Even relatively routine misconduct
by Ferguson police officers
can have significa
nt
consequences for the people whose rights are violated.
For
example, in
the summer of
2012,
a
32
-
year
-
old African
-
American man
sat in his car cooling off
after
playing
basketball
in a
Ferguson public
park.
An officer pulled up behind the man’s car, blo
cking him in,
and
demanded
the man’s Social Security number and
identification. Without any cause, t
he officer
accuse
d
the man of being a pedophile,
referring to the presence of children in the park, and
order
ed
the man out of his car for a pat
-
down, alth
ough the officer had no reason to believe the
man was armed. The
officer also asked to search the man’s car.
T
he man objected
, c
iting his
constitutional rights
. In response, the officer
arrested the man
, reportedly
at gunpoint, charging
him
with eight
v
iolations
of Ferguson’s municipal code

REPORTEDLY at gunpoint? You mean, that's what the man claimed? (Forgive the formatting, but wow, that's some flimsy shite. Nothing about "records show.")
