Showing Original Post only (View all)Heh. "Convoy" leader says some truckers have "pissed their pants," blames the D.C. police. [View all]
https://www.rawstory.com/peoples-convoy-2657017691/The Daily Beast's Zachary Petrizzo reports that People's Convoy organizer Ron Coleman said on Tuesday that he wants to start conducting "citizen's arrests" of Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, as well as members of the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia.
According to Petrizzo, Coleman even said that he has lawyers representing the convoy looking into whether it would be legally feasible for the truckers to arrest the mayor and police officers.
Coleman also said that he wanted to conduct arrests of the police because they haven't let the truckers get out to go to the bathroom as they've been circling the Beltway, which has resulted in having some truckers who have "actually pissed their pants."
Don't most truckers carry a "pee bottle" for just such an occasion? Could some kind DUer send some Depends?

Wouldn't they need to be a citizen of that state or district to make a citizen's arrest?

These wannabe patriot revolutionaries are all dumb as dirt. Actually, dirt may be smarter.

I'm sure arresting police officers will go over real well with the police
