So why was he arrested? Being an A-hole is not a crime.
This is the perfect example of how social media turns things into something they are not. I wait for the day social media dies and is deemed hazardous to society.

Disorderly conduct and assault. You can't scream in someone's face and grab them. Keep your hands to yourself. That's basic preschool shit that even my daughter understands.

I did not see him grab anyone. It looked like he batted away his phone in order to not be recorded. Sorry but there is no reason for an arrest.

Rewatch the video. He clearly grabs for the guys hand and camera. Keep your hands to yourself. Its not that hard.

That is no reason to be arrested. This world has become completely unhinged.

But the dude swinging and screaming at someone doing their job *isn't* unhinged?

It’s literally battery. The phone was on his person.

Obviously it is a reason to be arrested, because he was

He wasn't arrested by social media. That was the police.
