William Wingate, a man with no criminal record, was walking down the street, as he does every day, using a golf club, which he has re-purposed in to a cane. He’s been using this cane/golf club for 20 years.
On July 9, 2014, however, his daily walk would cross paths with overzealous Seattle Police officer, Cynthia Whitlach. Completely out of the blue, at 1:00 in the afternoon, Whitlach pulls up to Wingate and demands he drop his cane.
Wingate, obviously surprised and confused as to what was going on, tries to figure out exactly what it is Whitlach wants.
“Drop the golf club!” screams the officer, seemingly jacked up on her authority.
“What? this is my golf club,” says Wingate having absolutely no idea why Whitlach is demanding he drop it.
“You just swung that golf club at me,” Whitlach yells.
“No, I did not!” exclaims Wingate .... http://thefreethoughtproject.com
