AI Thread Summary
A person was arrested after calling 911 to report a coast guard officer who allegedly threatened them with a gun while they were unloading their car at a dock. The individual confronted the officers about their actions, which led to their arrest for aggravated assault and interfering with justice, despite claiming they only returned to the dock because local police instructed them to do so. The judge later reduced the charges, stating that an oar is not a weapon, and the individual was released on a lower bond. The discussion highlights concerns about the coast guard's conduct and the appropriateness of calling 911 in non-emergency situations. Overall, the incident raises questions about interactions with law enforcement and the consequences of perceived interference during an arrest.

The officers didn't assault you, you assaulted them.

IF you had been assaulted, which you weren't, IF the assault was bad enough and you were unconscious because of it, which didn't happen, you wouldn't be able to call 911 anyway. IF you were conscious enough and coherant enough you perhaps could drive yourself to a nearby medical emergency centre.

BUT NONE OF THIS HAPPENED BECAUSE YOU WEREN'T THE ONE ASSAULTED, THE LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSONEL WAS. SO ITS A MOOT POINT.

so if a law officer assults you
you should never call 9-11 to report it??
and pulling a gun and pointing it at a person is an ASSAULT
if I went to a very remote cop/shop they would have wanted names and other info I didnot have ect
By definition, an officer on duty cannot assault a person. The officer would likely have probable cause. Russ is right, you involved yourself 'unnecessarily'.

If an officer is off-duty and does actually 'assault' someone or you, then it may be appropriate to call 911. There is a grey area, if someone or you are performing a criminal act, or an actin in a manner that a reasonable person might construe as criminal.

I have had police officers pull guns on me. It was an amusing (well not for the guns in my face) and interesting experience. :biggrin: It didn't help that I had no ID (but then I wasn't planning on doing anything that would cause me worry about being in the middle of a bust), so they thought I was someone else. Charges were dropped. No big deal - no hard feelings.

ray b said:
what is the PROBLEM, with a call to 9-11 that reported facts
That is not appropriate. The 911 number is for 'emergency'. There was no emergency.

and BTW what are you babbeling on about here
" slip up by ray might affect him"?
Moonbear is wondering what the consequences will be for you if your testimony in court is inconsistent, or contradictory.

you DO NOT KNOW THE LAW
assault is not hitting anyone that's battery
and pulling a gun and pointing it at a person IS ASSAULT
carrying an oar is not, nore is it reason to pull a gun
I reported a CRIME but the pigs don't enforce the laws on each other
that is a big problem here in Miami and many places in amerika today
and pigs do retaliate on those who report their actions
that is what this is all about as there was no arrest for assault intill the report of it

or the use of state terror to protect the jackbooted thugs from criticisum
I was assaulted and reported it and was arrested as a result

"" By definition, an officer on duty cannot assault a person ""

and I wonder who wrote that bit of BS LAW a former cop no-dought
I wonder if he was one of
the cops in selma who sic'ed their dogs on blacks trying to register to vote
or the national guards men at kent state who shot unarmed protesters
or the cops mayor daily sent to bust heads at the 68 convention PIG RIOT

btw no one ever went to jail or even court in those CRIMES
and while both the SS and KGB would support that view how can a free people
belive such a EVIL IDEA ?
esp if they expect to remain free

Ray, America is spelt A-M-E-R-I-C-A, not with a "k". I do know the law. One of my earlier post defined the word "assault". I even provided a link to where I found the definition. Astronuc is right, as was everyone else, who stated that your actions were inappropriate in handling the situation.

By the way, Ray could you please stop personally attacking me. There is no need for a argumentative and abrasive attitude. Everyone here is civily discussing your thread except you. Cool it.

freedom is not free
it requires hard work and constant vigilance
we don't stay free by being NICE
and
political discussions do tend to be both argumentative and abrasive

if you don't like my attitude, do not make it worse by posting the neo-con party line in MY thread
I find you both argumentative and abrasive and VERY VERY WRONG
esp in one so young and without ANY real expereance
you told me to leave MY HOMELAND
I remember the prodraft proWAR hawks and statesrights anti civilrights
people saying LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT in the 60's
they were WRONG THEN AND YOU ARE WRONG NOW
as you parrot the NEO-CON LINES and LIES that HAVE IN FACT MADE THIS AMERIKA

As was stated in an earlier post on this thread the military and law-enforcement officers of this country UNITED STATES OF AMERICA are here to serve and protect the people of this country.

On the point of black planes/helicopters and the new world order paranoia, think about it if there were that many people out there who knew about it it would of leaked by now, and would be more than paranoia ramblings. Or it could be just too many episodes of the X-files.

Now let's just assume that for a bit that there are no law-enforcement officers in this country and we all live in your happy little hippy commune, what is to stop me or anyone else from taking you car, boat, or any other personal property? Are you going to pick up a gun and defend your stuff, or are you going to hire someone else to do it? Total anarchy is what this society would descend into, and I for one don't want to see that.

Personally me I like the laws that we have in place that protect you, and keep at bay the hounds of anarchy and mass chaos. Yes there are officers out there who are corrupt, and there are many means to deal with them from internal to civil, you just need to use those channels and not go around misusing the system then complain when it comes and bites you on the butt. Also be glad they aren't the GRU/KGB where they were either corrupt or towed the party line which allowed them to be corrupt. So if this makes me a "good German" who is brain washed by the system then,

Sieg Heil! Sieg Heil! Sieg Heil!
Leben die Regierung lang!
Sieg Heil der Fuhrer Gorge W. Bush!
Leben die Heimat lang!
