Police Take Down Dangerous Perp Armed With a Philips MP3 Player

Mechanic Darren Nixon recently got a rude awakening when he was arrested at gunpoint because a bystander and a team of British police both mistook his 4GB Phillps MP3 player for a pistol. Amazingly enough, the ordeal was not cleared up with a simple “It’s an MP3 player stupid”—in fact, Nixon was taken back to HQ, swabbed for DNA, fingerprinted, and thrown into a cell based on suspicion. Naturally, the whole ordeal has left Nixon shaken and disillusioned with his local police force. Hey, at least he didn’t get shot. Update: Additional pic after the break.

    Well, he does look like a geezer from a firm who goes round clobbering malarkies after sundown, innit?

    This needs to end and end now. If our legal representatives are not dealing with this issue (police authoritarianism) we need to overthrow the government to take back control and replace this lunacy with something responsible.
