Since When Is This a Crime??

I read a story out of Morrisville, North Carolina, wherein it was reported that a man, Kent Kauffman, was arrested and charged with assault on a government official after an officer said the man coughed into his face during a traffic stop.

Are you kidding me???

Yeah, the cop said that Mr. Kauffman coughed in his face three times, even though he (the cop) was standing outside Kauffman's car, with him in it!! Kauffman freely admits he did cough from the window of his minivan, but did so toward Officer Gill's waist. He told the reporter, "He says I coughed in his face, but that would only work if he had a 4-foot-long face." LOL! I love that part! So tell me, when did coughing become a crime???

A while back a cop here in my town arrested someone for -- get this -- swearing at him. LOL! How boneheaded can you be?! The judge threw the case out the window, as well he should. Um, did said cop ever hear of FREE SPEECH? Idiot.

Let's hope the judge in North Carolina is just as smart. And let's hope Officer Gill learns how to arrest real criminals!
