1. Whew! I feel safer now

But of course, I am a white guy.

Seriously, though, what is gonna happen to this kid? Is he gonna have an arrest record that will follow him around and shape the rest of his life? Have we just witnessed a "kid" being lost to us as a productive adult? All because he disrespected the authority of a cop who was not in the mood to deal with it?

5. Getting arrested for jaywalking used to be a joke.

Guess it's not so funny anymore. This is not just insane; it is evil.

Someone needs to invent a cure fast.
