Well, dig a little into the original story and there's this: The woman who says she witnessed the incident said she saw Wolf use the f-word repeatedly and Wolf started cursing at her after she approached Wolf. The woman says she wasn't having a bad day and that hearing Wolf use those words brought her back to her abusive childhood.
Not exactly naughty, more like obscene and abusive.

The fact that language upsets you is not reason to call the cops on a woman. It's reason to walk away. That is, if your goal is to not hear upsetting language rather than if your goal is "winning."
I don't mind "language" when it's directed at anyone, other than children. We can't get to a point where we mind our own business so much that we don't step up to defend those who cannot defend themselves. Let CPS work it out, let the cops sort out what actually happened. But do let people know that abusive language towards kids is not okay.

Meanwhile in Ferguson, shop owner arrives ready for business.
Sad, this is what America has come to: everything is illegal, and the self-righteous call the cops for swearing.
But you're right about the articles - they do read differently. I wonder what the judge will say?

So, if the witness didn't want her arrested for swearing, why did she call the cops?

I know that RX-8 guy. He's in my car club. Over the years we've all had issues with our cars acquiring numerous miles on them when being dropped off for carious things such as tires, oil changes, etc.
America, land of the free, home of the Puritans.
Mom arrested for naughty language in front of her kids.

Depends on the article. Click on that link, then go to the cited article within it. It's a little differently worded. Then there's this one. Again, don't cuss your kids.
