UK Cop Tries to Arrest Man Who Bought Baseball Bat and Carried It Out of Store, Crowd Comes to Man’s Defense Instead of Cop’s
The United Kingdom’s police force is beyond satire. They resemble something out of a comedy skit, but no one is laughing at their enforcement of one-sided draconian laws.
Instead, the world is horrified and outraged at the absurd lengths officers will go to arrest people.
We can now add purchasing a baseball bat to that list along with mean words and posting memes online.
On Sunday, British activist Tommy Robinson posted footage of an arrest being made by an officer for that exact reason. The man being detained had just purchased a bat from a nearby store.
It was still in the packaging, as the fed-up crowd repeatedly yelled. Multiple officers were on the scene to assist.
Again, this was all for a man holding a baseball bat he’d just bought.
WARNING: The following footage contains language some viewers may find offensive.
Absolute state of this.
Young lad purchases a baseball bat in "Modern England".
As soon as he leaves the store, police grab him for "carrying a weapon".
The bat is literally still in it's plastic covering.

Assisting officers arrived and formed a perimeter around their fellow officers making the arrest.
The man was escorted away in handcuffs and hauled into the back of a van.
