And forced to ear a sign like this:I think the part of this story that cuts me to the heart centers on the 3 year old son. Don't know if scouser was arrested in front of his son or not, but even if not, 3 year olds are pretty sharp when it comes to missing daddy.
What does mommy say the next morning when daddy isn't around?
"I'm sorry son, your daddy was taken to jail by a bad police man who decided not to do his job right. He wanted to be mean to daddy because he did something that was OK to do, but the police man didn't like."
No matter how this turns out, that boy's innocent view of a world where the police are our friends is forever destroyed.
I hope that guy is handing out smiley-stickers at Walmart until he's 85 years old.
