DETROIT – Police in Detroit have ruffled some feathers after they cracked down on an organized pillow fight at a downtown park.

The Detroit News reports that police at Campus Martius Park prevented the feathery fight Saturday by disarming pillow-toting participants. The bout was part of a worldwide event organized on social networking Web sites.

Michael Davis of Hamtramck says police confiscated the 32-year-old man's pillows but returned their cases. He says he was told that he needed a permit.

Scott Harris of Ferndale told the News that it's "not illegal to own a pillow."

Detroit police spokesman James Tate says cleanup was the issue.

can a pillow be confiscated as a "criminal tool"?

one step closer to being commis

commis m. (plural commis; feminine commise, plural commises)

  1. A clerk.
  2. An official individually put in charge of something, which is usually specified in the full title, as in commis de barrière.

I believe the derogatory noun you were looking for is "commies". :D

lol not that I want this back on topic.. but if littering is a criminal act and that is basically what they end up doing if they are not cleaning it up afterwards then I guess the police would be able to stop them.. I dont think they could confiscate the pillows though. just dont allow them to have the fight.. I dunno.
