WEST VIRGINIA MAN CHARGED WITH BATTERY ON OFFICER AFTER POLICE ACCUSE HIM OF PASSING GAS AT STATION
¶ South Charleston, W. VA. (AP)
A West Virginia man who police said passed gas and fanned it toward a patrolman has been charged with battery on a police officer.
¶ Jose A. Cruz, 34, of Clarksburg, was pulled over early Tuesday for driving without headlights, police said. According to the criminal complaint, Cruz smelled of alcohol, had slurred speech and failed three field sobriety tests before he was handcuffed and taken to a police station for a breathalyzer test.
¶ As Patrolman T.E. Parsons prepared the machine, Cruz scooted his chair toward Parsons, lifted his leg and "passed gas loudly," the complaint said.
¶ Cruz, according to complaint, then fanned the gas toward the officer.
¶ "The gas was very odorous and created contact of an insulting or provoking nature with Patrolman Parsons," the complaint alleged.
¶ He was also charged with driving under the influence, driving without headlights and two counts of obstruction.
¶ Cruz acknowledged passing gas, but said he didn't move his chair toward the officer nor aim gas at the patrolman. He said he had an upset stomach at the time, but police denied his request to go to the bathroom when he first arrived at the station.
¶ "I couldn't hold it no more," he said.
¶ He also denied being drunk and uncooperative as the police complaint alleged. He added he was upset at being prepared for a breathalyzer test while having an asthma attack. The police statement said he later resisted being secured for a trip to a hospital that he requested for asthma treatment.
¶ Cruz said the officers thought the gas incident was funny when it happened and laughed about it with him.
¶ "This is ridiculous," he said. "I could be facing time."

What we do is not illegal - they told me
What we do is good for all - they said
What is left just doesn't matter - they told me
As long as right wins over all - they said
You don't know what life's about - they told me
You're too young to know what's right - they said
Nothin' like the morning after - they told me
If we make it through the night - they said
Beware the Savage Jaw, boy
Best you take care of yourself
What we do is good for all - they said
What is left just doesn't matter - they told me
As long as right wins over all - they said
You don't know what life's about - they told me
You're too young to know what's right - they said
Nothin' like the morning after - they told me
If we make it through the night - they said
Beware the Savage Jaw, boy
Best you take care of yourself
Shed no tears for the martyr dying
Only in pain suffering and death
Can the martyr become what he's chosen to be
No tears wasted
No sorrow no pity
No, no crying, no loss
Shed no tears for the cop bleeding
He once held the gun. He once held the key
Now his prisoners will sing and dance and play
No tears wasted
No sorrow no pity
No, no crying, no loss
Shed no tears for the nun beaten
By the children she once called her flock
How they hate their teachers. Who force darkness upon us
No tears wasted
No sorrow no pity
No, no crying, no loss
Shed no tears for the suicide
He has made his choice, the pain of life is great
And some will find it sweet to rot beneath the earth
As we rot and live and breathe
No tears wasted
No sorrow no pity
No, no crying, no loss
Been doodling at my desk while I was on the phone, and I thought I'd share this one with ya:
Don't know much about history
Don't know much about the economy
Don't know much about a science book
Don't know much about donations I took
Don't know much about history
Don't know much about the economy
Don't know much about a science book

WE'RE STILL TALKING WITH SOUNDS THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND.
Out of the chaos we divide,
Fucked up, muddled up, looking for a side.
Stay on the outside, don't go in,
Don't think that you can do it, if you sell out they win.
It's not like that the changes are made,
Give in to them, your chances are delayed.
You'll feed with your energies the things that you hate,
Diluting your strength each time they say yes.
Their hands are big, they've got big hands,
Big hands, big hands, big hands, big hands,
Big hands, big hands, big hands, big hands,
Big hands, big hands, big hands, big hands,
Big hands, big hands, big hands, big hands.
You're talking with sounds they don't understand,
They've got big mouths to shout demands,
They'll let you past a couple of times,
You think you're getting somewhere, you're fucking blind
This structures stretches, it'll bend but not break,
This system channels any threat that you make,
Big hands, big hands, big hands, big hands,
Big hands, big hands, big hands, big hands,
Big hands, big hands, big hands, big hands,
Big hands, big hands, big hands, big hands,
Big hands, big hands, big hands, big hands.
It will do anything to accomodate,
Accomodate you and your liberal ideas.
You're the child in their garden,
The dog on their lead,
Their token to changes that are never made.
Can't you see that for centuries it's been the same,
Plenty like you have been seduced to the game.
The chain's still as tight, won't let in the light,
Can you tell me what's different?
Whose hopes you will feed?
Will you feed their arses,
Will you feed their hands?
Big hands, big hands, big hands, big hands,
Big hands, big hands, big hands, big hands,
Big hands, big hands, big hands, big hands,
Big hands, big hands, big hands, big hands
THEY'VE GOT BIG HANDS
