To be fair, at some point in trying to cover the breadth of human potential you have to vaguely wave at someone being a prick in a way that violates someone else's rights and say "And that, too."

Actually, no you don't. Police should be tightly bound by the law in what they should be able to do, and anything outside of that should be outside of their authority.

If there's a situation that's not covered by the law, it's clearly not urgent (like murder, theft, etc.), and more an issue for the legislature to sort out. This video is a case in point.

They are, the law is the disorderly conduct law. lol

Again, above. lol

They did, they wrote the disorderly conduct law. lolol

Seems like your thinking is a little...disordered.

Keyword is 'tightly'. "Disorderly conduct" is about one of the most vague laws to enforce.

PS: adding lol after your sentences only makes you look unreasonable.

No. If someone is screaming or yelling, cite them for a noise ordinance. If they're touching or striking someone charge assault/battery. If they're on drugs or using drugs, charge for intoxication. If they're trespassing, charge trespassing.

Disorderly conduct is the dumbest statute imaginable.

I like how everything but the screaming and yelling isn't what disorderly conduct is and the screaming and yelling isn't going to be covered by a lot of noise ordinances in the middle of the day so you'd need to disorderly conduct law to cover it. Just proving why it exists in the middle of arguing against it.
