Today in Trump's America: No Wonder They Support Trump

Speaking of your friendly local police:

WUSA9 reported that 23-year-old Samir Ahmed found his drunk neighbor passed out in his lawn on the morning of Sunday, November 17 and decided to walk him home.

When he came back, police — who had been called by someone else who was concerned about the drunk neighbor — had arrived.

Police claimed they smelled cannabis on Ahmed and that gave them probable cause to search him. Ahmed, those same officers claimed, resisted their attempts to search him.

In a video recorded by a bystander, neighbors can be heard insisting that the man lives in the neighborhood and had just helped a drunk person get home — to which an officer replied, “I think you’re the intoxicated one.”

Here's the capper:

In the nearly 18-minute long video, officers are heard laughing at the situation and telling bystanders who challenged Ahmed’s arrest that “we don’t answer to you.”

You think someone has an attitude problem? I'm surprized they didn't taze the guy.

Somebody should have taken names and badge numbers -- but they probably would have been arrested themselves.
