Police Arrest Man For Refusing To Tweet

[wraggster]

Police arrested a senior vice president from Island Def Jam Records, saying he hindered their crowd-control efforts by not cooperating. The crowd at a mall where Justin Bieber was appearing got out of control, and police wanted the man to send a tweet asking for calm; he refused and they arrested him on a felony assault charge 'for putting people in danger.

It's a shame that Justin Bieber is from Canada. Ugh.

Hah, that is stupid... What are they expected to do? Go onto Twitter and do the policeman's job by tweeting those who probably wouldn't read until after or haven't subscribed to follow.

They should just do their jobs, by arresting the crowd troublemakers and not the guy who refused to tweet.
