Witnesses Emerge in Yankee Stadium God Bless Americagate

082908gba.jpgA witness has come forward to contradict the NYPD's assertion that Red Sox fan Bradford Campeau-Laurion was ejected for "standing on his seat, cursing... and acting in a disorderly manner while reeking of alcohol." Witness Pete Montenez tells CBS 2 that "as far as him hootin' and hollerin' and standing on the chair, no way." He doesn't know Campeau-Laurion, who claims cops ejected him when he tried to go to the men's room during the stadium's enforced moment of nationalism/"God Bless America". But Yankee officials have a witness, who says Campeau-Laurion "stuck his hand out and says, you know, 'I need to get by here,' and he used some profanity." Profanity at a Yankee game? It makes one blush just thinking about it.

Most NYPD are just fucking power abusers. PEROID.

did you notice all the cops on the subways today?
first time I heard a K9 dog bark at people.

So the cops were lying, huh? Wow, didn't see that coming.

Just to ponder the old saw, I wonder how far I COULD throw a NYC police officer?
