Ha ha, funny how two people can read the same thing and come to very different conclusions. -
Troy Davis Booked for Public Intox
I keep hearing this "the police probably saved lives" by arresting him nonsense. Even if Troy was doing something as insanely stupid as trying to get in a car and drive, (though how he was going to do that if the "friends" had already taken his keys is beyond me), the police had as we all know... -

Ha -- I'm sure you have made his day. But I like your options too. I'm just against the arrest option for PI. -

Troy Davis Booked for Public Intox
I am very religious. My faith tells me that drunkeness is a sin because our bodies are a temple of the Holy Spirit. So if you want to help Troy, please do help him understand that drinking until he can't stand up is not good for him, or the state of his soul. (Please invite me to this... -

Honestly the report as described in that email, if accurate, changes nothing that I can see. While I am not sure I believe that email was from JP, I do believe he would say something to that effect, he is never shy to state his opinion, and it just sounds a bit like him. Even so, I still don't... -

Another total bs post. One, I don't believe for a nanosecond that you would think a speeding ticket for going 36 in a 35 would be a fair consequence for how you "broke the law". If you would not argue about that, you are an imbecile. Two, show me exactly where anyone on this entire thread... -

I call total bs on this post. Clearly, no one has even attempted to protect Troy from the consequences of his behavior. What I have articulated is that the best way for our society to handle someone who is drunk on the street IS NOT to arrest them. What in the world is so crazy about that... -

This made me LOL; saw two of those individuals, one this year, one last year, in a condition close to what Troy was. But no, they didn't get arrested. So shock away. -

silly, but a better response than arresting them. -
Troy Davis Booked for Public Intox
we get it, you judge people who make this mistake, and are glad they get what you think they deserve. -
Troy Davis Booked for Public Intox
a non sequitor, not quite sure how to respond. Who said the police put Troy in the situation he found himself in? -
Troy Davis Booked for Public Intox
Well we will have to agree to disagree. You look at the facts that we know, and conclude that the police used their discretion appropriately. (apparently from your comments you always side with the police when someone is intoxicated, doesn't make much sense to me, but ok.) I look at the facts... -

We can only hope and pray that Troy doesn't necessarily associate the ames police with ISU. -
Troy Davis Booked for Public Intox
This is not an either/or story, as if the police officer's choice was either arrest him or leave him alone. instead of arresting him, the police could have shown real concern for Troy, got him a cab, put him in it, and got him safely to his hotel. He is still saved from his own bad decisions in... -
Troy Davis Booked for Public Intox
Seems to me the criticism of ames police has both been fairly mild and just. I think I have read every post in this thread, and can't say I saw any that said Troy wasn't accountable for his own decision. But what some seem to suggest is that somehow the police had no other options to what they... -

o_O not a real thing. Try to look it up. -
Troy Davis Booked for Public Intox
I am not ignoring that this is the current law, even though I think it is bad law, and should be changed. I am simply saying that the police every day exercise judgement on whether to arrest citizens for said law or not, and I believe they exercised very poor judgement when they decided to... -

So? That is not resisting arrest. That is exercising his right to refusal. We all have that right.
