Another case of police brutality against innocent young male bodies. If only we had sidetracked society to cater to his needs and hear his insightful stories! The directors of Arcata’s social policy At H.S.U. Should investigate this as yet another troubling example of how society lets such visionary degenerates slip through the cracks.
With enough public funding, this young man can be rehabilitated and maybe become a art history major, or a Arcata city council member.

If it had been a ‘POC’, someone would have been recording it; then posted only the part where the officer was taking him down. At that point, everyone in Arcata would be on here claiming police racial brutality; not knowing the officer had to defend himself. Then, the marches would start tomorrow.

I witnessed the most outrageous cop fight in Arcata about 2 years ago. This person was standing on the sidewalk at a cross walk. An officer on a bike told the person to cross or move and the person refused. After a couple more words were exchanged the cop then got off his bike and attempted to detain the person. This chic wasn’t having it and started flailing their arms. Then they started to really fight. Of course some Arcata citizen had to be upstanding and help the officer. The woman was taken into custody. I gave one of the other officers who arrived my contact asking him to please include my statement (usually im a “I didn’t see anything” “I didn’t do anything” type). Never received a call and honestly forgot about that incident until I saw this story.

APD is just dealing with another city’s problem. Few good things, or people, come out of National Shiity, or its neighbor Chula Juana, except the Mexicans sneaking through to find a decent wage.
