i have gone on and on to show the cop did not violate anyones civil rights.
No where does it say the cop cant have an opinion. This cop clearly stated that he is of the opinion that Mr. Goins lacks the ability to attract pussy. From what i gather this is a very astute observation. he also stated that he fears for the safety of the dept as Mr. Goins has returned on multiple days, filming the same thing. On top of that, he stated that he questioned Mr. Goins mental health. Not a far stretch as our downtown seems to have no lack of mentally ill. I witnessed today a vietnamese man who thought he was a talking tree and window cleaner dressed as a 1800's deputy marshall. Officer Rose had the right to detain Mr. Goins long enough to ascertain his purpose and health condition.
Mr. Goins was loitering, followed by trespassing after being told to leave. He became a public nuisance and was disturbing the peace.
it seems all they charged him with was 2nd degree trespassing and a probation violation.

with a record of larceny and shoplifting, one might understand why this particular fellow video taping anything might raise some concern.
not to mention dude was driving around with a ficticious license plate and no registration filming public infrastructure.
HOW MUCH MORE OF A RED FLAG DO YOU WANT!!!!
however, the city has, as set under precident of law, violated the first ammendment right of several of its citizens as it has deleted negative comments from its facebook page.
