1. So apparently there were NO OTHER CRIMES being committed that day...

4. No, it's right there in the story

Easton police reported that the entire day was spent giving this citation, while several reports of murder, rape and armed robbery went without police response.

2. How fucking stupid!

What kinda law is that? I mean come on. It's getting disgusting - laws that women can't go topless or breastfeed in public and now men can't take their shirts off? Do people hate their bodies so much they make laws like that? I guess, yes.


Khash.

3. My god they would arrest the entire male population of Pinellas Park.

I have noticed on Cops if the guy isn't wearing a shirt he does end up handcuffed for domestic abuse no matter what the call was.

5. Ironically, the men wearing the tank tops known as 'wife-beaters' usually get brought in for

other charges.

8. Be grateful, Red!

Be grateful, Red! They're saving everyone from Me (the guy with the fish-belly complexion) going topless. It's either that, or else everyone goes blind from the glare....

10. Anyone can be topless in Austin, TX

but I highly recommend lots of sunscreen.
