Injustice justice force?

Source: Police Arrest A Homeless Man For Charging His Mobile Phone At A Public Park

What is going on here?
In America, January this year in the city of Sarasota-Florida, a homeless man was arrested by the police because he was charging his mobile phone at a public picnic shelter called the Gillespie Park in the city centre. The man had to spend one night in jail simply because he used a public property.

What is the issue here?
The problem is that the police office arrested the homeless guy without a solid legal justification.

What is the impact here?
The impact is that this act of the police officer is deemed as abuse of power. This will only stir up anger from the public and lost of trust in the exact people who are suppose to protect them.

 My opinion:

For whatever reason why the police officer decided to arrest the guy with any solid reason is beyond me, perhaps the officer has something against the poor and homeless people.Perhaps it just so happen that this poor man did something that the officer can use against him. At least, i am thankful that i have yet to heard any case of police abusing their power in my country.
