He was on his porch, private, not public property.  Thus "public
disturbance" does not apply.

Pigs are pigs, I say, no matter what color.  Their power always trumps,
unless caught on video and put on YouTube (I love this part of the modern

Sure, with added race-card playing by Skippy.  I agree he's probably an
arrogant fuck.  But the cop still went with power over rights, and for that
I'm glad he had to back down.

I bet he is too.  But he still has his rights.

Anyway, my rant (about abuse of power) is over too.
