Iowa man arrested for exercising his inalienable right to fireworks

When they arrived at a Pleasant Street apartment complex, officers say they heard fireworks and saw O’Meara holding fireworks which are illegal under state law. Police confiscated the fireworks and told O’Meara he would be going to jail if he shot off more. Soon after the officers left, they were called back to the complex because of more complaints. Officers returned to find O’Meara walking out of his apartment “holding a firework in one hand and a lighter in the other.”
A police report says O’Meara told officers he planned to light a roman candle from his front door. O’Meara also told officers that when he got out of jail he was going to light another firework “with a blunt in his mouth because this is America.”
Police say when they asked O’Meara to take a preliminary breathalyzer test, he responded “that he would take a preliminary go [expletive] yourself test.”
O’Meara was taken into custody without incident.

Why wasn't he shot by the police?

Smart enough to not resist arrest?

The hero we need, but not the one we deserve.

But disobeying orders?

When I heard Iowa, this movie came to mind

Big difference between that and wrestling 2 cops on the ground and likely going for a gun.

Being asked to take a breathalyzer is 100% an option.
He was compliant the whole time....while very colorful, compliant.

I am referring to continuing to shoot fireworks.

For everyone calling Germans, the "preliminary go frick yourself" test is new info for me. Never heard of anyone using a breathalyzer for a potential public intoxication charge, just for DWIs.

Yeah, not resisting seems to be a white trait

Yeah, being arrested peacefully is something only white people enjoy.

While I admire his courage and quick wit, I have a feeling they will take care of his preliminary request when he gets to general.
