LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL
Larry Mangels was giving out water bottles to thirsty homeless people and tourists on the Strip on the Fourth of July.
He sat in a wheelchair on the pedestrian bridge between the Palazzo and Wynn Las Vegas handing out water. A donation jar and a sign saying he was a disabled veteran were nearby. Passers-by could give donations if they wanted to, but that didn't determine whether they got water. He said he knows he can't charge for it - that's illegal.
But the 64-year-old soon found himself handcuffed by Las Vegas police. He was placed on a gurney and taken by ambulance to jail. A truck towed Mangels' electric wheelchair to the station, and his arrest was filmed by a reality TV crew following officers on the Strip.
"It was just really a power trip," Mangels said. The officer "was playing to the cameras, showing how way cool he was. It was extremely embarrassing, and I don't think that's how officers are supposed to act, to verbally abuse and humiliate someone."

just another example of the 'blue gang's goon squads' doing TPTB will.
giving away water is horning in on someone else's protected territory
and the blue gang does not like that

What? Did the cop think He was doing ANYONE a favor? "Gee. No criminals to arrest for the camera... Ah, there's a helpless, hapless soul! I'll go make an ass out of Myself!" Hope Mangles sues.
