The Colony Park Apartment resident said she and her twin brother Terrell were
on their apartment balcony
when Tuesday's tragic police shooting unfolded. But she said minutes later they were being manhandled by officers after they saw her brother recording the scene with his cell phone. "The police came up here after they took his phone. They slammed him down and arrested him, and I'm like 'Why are y'all arresting him', and then they grabbed me and slammed me also and arrested me," said Shanell Madison. She said they didn't know why they were targeted
in their own home.

they were charged with disorderly conduct.

One thing that cops really hate is being recorded by civilians. You know, if they screwed up (by no means do I imply that they ever have), that might actually make it harder for them to get away with it.

At least there's some good news associated with this story: one of the pigs from that same department had just been shot and killed. That's what was being investigated when the dead pig's buddies trampled on the rights of these innocent people:

Good riddance, you anti-freedom shitbag.

Too bad so many citizens are still deluded into thinking the police are the "good guys." The very same pigs whose boots they lick would not hesitate to treat any citizen exactly as those twins were treated (if not worse) if given the proper pretext.

The twins' mother believes they were arrested because she moved her truck after she saw Pearl Police using it as a shield during the shooting.

This cracked me up. Imagining the cops, hiding behind a pick up while trading bullets....and the owner waddles out and moves it out of harms way.

It really is the little things that make it all worth while.

Why the HECK can't we record cops? They're SUPPOSED to follow the rules!

Is it just me or cops really don't like black folks? It seems to me they go after Black people more. Are there any stats that compare arrests based on ethnicity?
