Working for law enforcement, i can see the two sides.



One, you can never be too careful of people's intentions because let's face it, we really don't know what someone is capable until they snap. That guy looks like he's very sweet and nice but none of us personally know him.



However, the guy does have the freedom to paint something in the street as long as he is not causing any public nuisance (which i believe someone must have though he was a nuisance). He wasn't screaming or attacking anyone, just minding his own business painting. With that cute hat on his head.



My guess is that this was in a $$$$ area where these kind of calls tend to happen. If this was in South Central, Compton, etc. i'm sure there would have been no call made to the police.
