Two Pepper Sprayed Over Phone Call At Fla. Movie

Pair Arrested At Theater

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- A college student who took a cell phone call from her mother in a movie theater was pepper sprayed by an officer and charged with disorderly conduct, along with her boyfriend.

Warronnica Harris, 23, was at the Muvico theater at BayWalk Saturday night, watching the opening credits to Catwoman when her cell phone rang.

"It was my mom calling me," Harris said. "It was a family emergency."

Harris said she spoke so quietly that her mother couldn't hear her. Then Officer John Douglas shone a flashlight in her eyes.

He asked Harris and her boyfriend, Terrell "KC" Tolson, 25, to leave. He pushed Harris in the hallway, then pepper sprayed both of them in the lobby, the couple said. Neither Harris nor Tolson has a criminal record.

Police denied their account, saying Harris refused to end her cell phone conversation, yelled at the Douglas and refused to leave the theater. Her boyfriend also refused to leave and threatened the officer, police said.

Witnesses said the pair did nothing wrong.

Marcia Gray, a 49-year-old Tampa accountant, was in the lobby when the couple were pepper sprayed.

"The man turned and asked the officer why he was making them leave and the cop just maced him in the face," Gray said. "They weren't yelling or touching him. The man bent over and the girl asked why he maced her boyfriend. Then the cop maced her, and she dropped her soda."

I bolded the best part.... :thumbsup:

The reputation of police today just keeps getting better and better, no?

Edit: And I take the reason this is in Entertainment is because they were at a movie theatre at the time?

Wow, some police can be right idiots today. The bad thing about it is, you cant really do a thing about it. Say something and they just lock you up, the little gits.

Yes.

Cell phones, movies and mace are all entertainment topics.

Somehow, this cop reminds me of a Cartman-type character...

Right about now NWA court is in full effect.

Judge Dre presiding in the case of NWA versus the police department.

Prosecuting attourneys are MC Ren Ice Cube and Eazy muthafuckin E.

Order order order. Ice Cube take the muthafuckin stand.

Do you swear to tell the truth the whole truth

and nothin but the truth so help your black ass?

Why don't you tell everybody what the fuck you gotta say?

Fuck tha police

Comin straight from the underground

Young nigga got it bad cuz I'm brown

And not the other color so police think

They have the authority to kill a minority

Fuck that shit, cuz I ain't tha one

For a punk muthafucka with a badge and a gun

To be beatin on, and throwin in jail

We could go toe to toe in the middle of a cell

Fuckin with me cuz I'm a teenager

With a little bit of gold and a pager

Searchin my car, lookin for the product

Thinkin every nigga is sellin narcotics

You'd rather see me in the pen

Then me and Lorenzo rollin in the Benzo

Beat tha police outta shape

And when I'm finished, bring the yellow tape

To tape off the scene of the slaughter

Still can't swallow bread and water

I don't know if they fags or what

Search a nigga down and grabbin his nuts

And on the other hand, without a gun they can't get none

But don't let it be a black and a white one

Cuz they slam ya down to the street top

Black police showin out for the white cop

Ice Cube will swarm

On any muthafucka in a blue uniform

Just cuz I'm from the CPT, punk police are afraid of me

A young nigga on a warpath

And when I'm finished, it's gonna be a bloodbath

Of cops, dyin in LA

Yo Dre, I got somethin to say

Fuck the police

M. C. Ren, will you please give your testimony to the jury about this fucked up incident.

Fuck tha police and Ren said it with authority

because the niggaz on the street is a majority.

A gang, is with whoever I'm stepping

and the motherfuckin' weapon

is kept in a stash box, for the so-called law

wishin' Ren was a nigga that they never saw

Lights start flashin behind me

But they're scared of a nigga so they mace me to blind me

But that shit don't work, I just laugh

Because it gives em a hint not to step in my path

To the police I'm sayin fuck you punk

Readin my rights and shit, it's all junk

Pullin out a silly club, so you stand

With a fake assed badge and a gun in your hand

But take off the gun so you can see what's up

And we'll go at it punk, I'ma fuck you up

Make ya think I'm a kick your ass

But drop your gat, and Ren's gonna blast

I'm sneaky as fuck when it comes to crime

But I'm a smoke em now, and not next time

Smoke any muthafucka that sweats me

Or any assho that threatens me

I'm a sniper with a hell of a scope

Takin out a cop or two, they can't cope with me

The muthafuckin villian that's mad

With potential to get bad as fuck

So I'm a turn it around

Put in my clip, yo, and this is the sound

Ya, somethin like that, but it all depends on the size of the gat

Takin out a police would make my day

But a nigga like Ren don't give a fuck to say

Fuck the police

Police, open now. We have a warrant for Eazy-E's arrest.

Get down and put your hands up where I can see em.

Just shut the fuck up and get your muthafuckin ass on the floor.

[huh?]

and tell the jury how you feel abou this bullshit.>

I'm tired of the muthafuckin jackin

Sweatin my gang while I'm chillin in the shackin

Shining tha light in my face, and for what

Maybe it's because I kick so much butt

I kick ass, or maybe cuz I blast

On a stupid assed nigga when I'm playin with the trigga

Of any Uzi or an AK

Cuz the police always got somethin stupid to say

They put up my picture with silence

Cuz my identity by itself causes violence

The E with the criminal behavior

Yeah, I'm a gansta, but still I got flavor

Without a gun and a badge, what do ya got?

A sucka in a uniform waitin to get shot,

By me, or another nigga.

and with a gat it don't matter if he's smarter or bigger

[MC Ren: Sidle him, kid, he's from the old school, fool]

And as you all know, E's here to rule

Whenever I'm rollin, keep lookin in the mirror

And there's no cue, yo, so I can hear a

Dumb muthafucka with a gun

And if I'm rollin off the 8, he'll be tha one

That I take out, and then get away

And while I'm drivin off laughin

This is what I'll say

Fuck the police

The jury has found you guilty of bein a redneck,

whitebread, chickenshit muthafucka.

Wait, that's a lie. That's a goddamn lie.

I want justice! I want justice!

Fuck you, you black muthafucka!

Fuck the police
