No Pointing!

The "Only Ones" continue to lord it over the serfs.

Miller says it started when he and his wife saw someone feeding the ducks. They asked the woman to stop, but she ignored them. When she finally replied, Miller says she told him "I’m a police officer, I can do what I want.”

The woman was Manatee County Sheriff's Deputy Kym Bennett. Bennett and Miller argued for a few minutes about the ducks, and about whether deputy Bennett was trespassing on the property since she didn't live in the condos there.

Seems that Miller and his wife have a big problem with duck droppings where they live and were none too pleased that someone was feeding them.

Miller says his wife decided to call the Bradenton Police department to ask them for a legal opinion on what they could do about the situation. But when police arrived, Miller was in for a surprise.

Deputy Bennett told police that Miller had been aggressive, and had pointed his finger at her. Bennet pressed assault charges.

Miller was arrested and taken to jail.

For having the temerity to point his finger and question an off-duty cop about what they were doing! Evidently he doesn't know his place.

ABC 7 spoke with an attorney about this case. Mark Lipinski told us "I've never seen a case like this, don't know anybody who's seen a case like this. I've asked all the attorneys in the area, they've never heard of anything like this."

Lipinski says he understands why Miller is crying foul. He says, "next time you want to shake your finger at somebody, you better think twice."

Yep, you just might be up against one of the Only Ones rather than just a regular citizen.
