Unclear whether he was going on private property or not. He was on the sidewalk when the cops talked to him. The fucking chump who initially called the cop said “he’s got a toboggan on” — shows how much credence you can place in the report.
As far as the warnings, if he didn’t understand English, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that he didn’t understand the warnings. The resort to force was completely unwarranted.
I agree that this doesn’t warrant a 10-year sentence. A public hanging would be more appropriate.
