NY Badge Monkey goes MMA on an unlicensed Cancer Stick salesman.

it is common knowledge that the cops here in the little town nearby don't wish to arrest the petty criminals.
they'd rather find people like me and others who have money-we can pay the fines, fees, court costs, etc. the stories about the towns and cities police confiscating cash is another point about money. they even had on video one policeman approaching a car, and instead of his first question being for license, registration, etc, it was 'how much cash do you have'.
there is a growing gap between the people and the police mentality wise. you have crime rates going down, while the amount of police is getting ever higher, and cops ever more handling every situation as a potential life threatening one-to them.
my father was a policeman in washington d.c. 20 years. during the riots in the 60's, the vietnam protests, and all the other many and sundry things that occurred in d.c. until the mid 80's. he fired his service revolver twice in 20 years. almost never even took the thing out of the holster.

and nice work doug.
