Some of the cops will find any reason to arrest you just for social and job status to make themselves look good. how would you like a cop that pulls someone over for erratic driving, puts that America's most wanted person in jail, saving someone from a potential deadly scene? arresting someone for robbing someone, and always on the look out for illegal activities? you would like them better than a police officer who tries to arrest someone and beats them for not doing what they told them to do, yells at someone for a completely minor offense, a police officer doing something unethical on the job, spending time on the job going and doing things that are non-police related, or wrongly prioritizing what they need to be doing on the job like if it was happening at the same time choosing to arrest someone for a minor offense over someone who just committed a major crime. The cops that need to be eliminated (from the force) are those that in retrospect it would appear that they get some "high", "pleasure", or "enjoyment" in abusing their police power.

We had so much fun, especially when our opposing team got a huge watering can and a hose. We never gave up, but it was pretty obvious who won. It made it even more fun when they used dirty pool water as a weapon and my friend's aunt and mom refilled our water guns. Even though it was embarrassing for a 12 year old to lose to a 7 year old (an evil 7 year old) the point is we had a blast. And if cops are gonna outlaw fun, just let them know they will have to deal with a lot of protesters.

If there were more people out there, including politicians, that joined in the fun, it wouldn't have been a bad idea. But in the end, it's the public that pays the price. It was also very wrong to arrest the person who used the squirt gun. What water guns are now illegal in NYC. What a crock of crap. I live near NYC (about 45 mins) I would have joined the fun and the heck at what the police say.

"What are you in for?" "I'm in here because I squirted water on a few people!" I mean why does the government need to control our lives so much? I mean the worst that could have happened was someone could have gotten mad for getting wet but that's it! No one would have been injured and I'm sure most of the people around not participating in the water war was laughing at it.
