Last Thursday, Michelle Watson from Prescott Arizona was arrested drunk behind the wheel of a Honda Civic. After clipping several kerbs and driving on the pavement, she refused a sobriety test, shoved a cop, kneed a second cop in the crotch, swore repeatedly and kicked the inside of a squad car.

Later, down at the station, they took her mugshot.

Yeah, baby.

Retired Philadelphia Police Captain, Ray Lewis, being arrested on November 17th, 2011 at the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations in New York City.

Captain Lewis has been outspoken against the NYPD’s treatment of protesters.

Says photographer Johnny Milano:

“It’s proved impossible for me to get this shot published anywhere. I was adamantly rebuffed by the Philadelphia Inquirer, New York Times, local New York  papers, and Newsweek, before even looking at the photograph. One of the only published photos of this paradoxical and intense event is located in the NYC Observer”
