Cops too dumb to ask to see a Receipt

[Fla Dem]

9. More on arrest and booking.

Protesters are planning to converge on a Pennsylvania police department Wednesday after the arrest of a black man in a local Walmart — even though he had paid for a bicycle for his son and had a receipt.

Stanley Gracius, 37, was confronted by two cops inside the Wyomissing store Monday and arrested while repeatedly asking why he was being taken into custody, and was later tased and hog-tied, according to the Reading Eagle.

“I didn’t do nothing wrong. Why are you arresting me?” Gracius is heard saying on video of the bust posted on Facebook. “I paid. Everybody saw that, right? I had a receipt. So why are the cops doing this to me? What did I do wrong? Somebody, please tell me what I did wrong.”

A Walmart store manager called police after Gracius was allegedly seen riding the bicycle in the store, playing loud music and shouting profanities, the outlet reported. When police arrived, he was paying for the bike.

Gracius was charged with two counts of aggravated assault, disarming a law enforcement officer, two counts of simple assault, resisting arrest, defiant trespass and disorderly conduct. Gracius was released on $2,500 cash bail.

Adams said he expects some of the charges against Gracius to be withdrawn at his preliminary hearing, but did not say which ones.
