Man Arrested for Not Tweeting

Sometimes you have to wonder why people hate the police. So the cops decided to arrest the VP of Island Def Jam Records because he wouldn’t send out a tweet.
An Associated Press feed reads:
Police arrested a vice president from Bieber’s record label, Island Def Jam Records, saying he wasn’t cooperating with attempts to disperse the crowd. James Roppo, 44, of Hoboken, N.J., was charged with a series of misdemeanours, including endangering the welfare of children and obstructing governmental administration.
“We asked for his help in getting the crowd to go away by sending out a Twitter message,” said Nassau County Police Det. Lt. Kevin Smith. “By not cooperating with us, we feel he put lives in danger and the public at risk.”
Now what group of teenagers is going to follow some VP at Def Jam on Twitter? Note that the police didn’t ask Justin Bieber, the celebrity at the mall to send the tweet. This shows that the police are getting out of control in Nassau County. They could have just tasered Roppo like most cops do, but instead they decide to arrest him.
