Land of the free eh?

One of the problems with this country of us is the "Out of bounds policy".
Perfect example of this and how it turns the word Freedom into an obsolete idea is the following:
Yesterday We decided to take the Luca for a train ride instead of the usual, and boring driving outing so We did without having a specific idea of where to go.
Along the way a destination was agreed upon.
Enter the California Science Center at Exposition Park.
USC was playing and I was appalled when I learned that some idiots pay $60 for parking to watch the stupid game.-Nothing seems more of a waste of time to me than "American Football"-

Anyhow, We go into the Science Center Luca didn't feel like going up. So we just ate at McDonald's and bought Him an overpriced toy car.
We got out and onto the Rose Garden area. Here's where it all happened.
I'm just walking around throwing this little foam plane I had gotten at the store inside.
The Garden has a fountain in the middle of it and Lucas and La Mama are sitting on the edge of it when this Rent-A-Cop (For those who don't know this term: this specimen is a security guard you can hire for about 2 bucks an hour)approaches them,
Points at one of the benches and tells Her:
See that bench over there?
Go and sit Him there.

I saw them from where I was, got closer and She told me what the asshole had said so I go what the fuck?
Make my way to Him and say.
You sir, need to get some training on how to talk to people properly.
Guy gets all bent outta shape about this and tries to argue with me but I ignore Him.
This gets Him even more offended apparently but I keep walking away from Him after realizing I'm not going to turn around and pay attention to His douche bag ass He starts saying stuff like: Who are you?, Fuck you and all kinds of lame stuff.
All I say is, I've said my peace, that's it. I never once looked back.

In my book, crap like this defeats any argument about freedom of anything in this country.
If you're not free to sit anywhere you like in a public park, what can you do?


This is where it happened.

This is the fine"officer" doing His fine job.
