Black Church News: Pastor and Firefighter was arrested after he waved at cops

Allegedly, cops this Evansville pastor was just waving at the cops when he was handcuffed.  Pastor Madison was accused of flipping them off.  Although, many see this as a racial incident, Pastor George Madison says not so.  

According to Mail Online, through his work on the local fire department, he is familiar with a number of the police officers in Evansville and he thought he recognized one of the men in the car so he waved. That is not how the police interpreted it, however, as they claim that they thought he was flicking them off. The officers stopped Madison, and, according to Madison, they were getting confrontational. He then took out his phone and went to call the police chief, Billy Bolin, who he is friends with. The officers told him to hang up the phone and get on the ground.

It very bad just to be handcuffed even if the cops thought this Pastor George Madison was giving them a bad sign.  However, thank God they did not harm him any way.

We just want to ask you a question, are things so bad in this country, we cannot even politely wave at police officers?
