I love reading Police Beat stories. They are good reading, especially in the can. But, I don’t bring my laptop in the can with me…so, I log in to my favorite Police Beat blog - the Arizona Daily Wildcat. They’ve got some great stories of kids / misfits breaking the law — mostly drug-related. What astounds me how the rent-a-cops look the other way on drug-related incidents. Yet, any incident regarding skateboarders are blown waaaaay out of proportion.

here’s the skateboarding story:

I can understand people have other hobbies in life. My hobby is watching TV. Yours may be reading. But looking at this story, a skateboarder is trying out for the WWF.

This kid got busted for skateboarding where he shouldn’t. So he resorts to throwing himself on the ground like WWF wrestlers do. What was the point? Was this his way of expressing anger? Was this some after-effect of his parent’s up-bringing? Imagine him kicking and screaming on the high-chair when forced to eat his peas?

Now, for the “fun” stories.

#1: No sleping in the library
Looks like a heroin addict was using the library as his hotel. He was caught with paraphenalia. Yet, he wasn’t arrested.

#2: Marijuana Candy
A guy is freaking out after eating some pot-laced Jolly Ranchers. The cops found the source, informed the “owner” of the law, and told her to get rid of them. Nice. A slap on the wrist.

#3: Skateboard citation: the main story above.

#4: Car and Battery missing
Not much of a story. Car stolen. Car found. Stereo equipment gone. Batter gone. Surprise, Surprise!

I figured the skateboarding story was enough to grab my attention.

My advice to you: if you ever get busted for skateboarding where you weren’t supposed to, don’t whine about it. Take it like a man.

Roach Man rolling out…
