Penis Man has fallen :(
Dustin was assaulted by Tempe police, 25 SWAT officers raided his home to apprehend him. They put not only Dustin’s life in danger but everyone else’ in that complex as well. He was then completely denied medical attention despite signage explicitly instructing detained persons to ask for medical attention if necessary.
“I just spent the last 24 hours in Tempe and Phoenix police custody for spraying ‘Penis Man,’” Shomer wrote. “They raided my condo and vehicle and swarmed my entire complex in west Phoenix with 25 heavily armed SWAT officers, and pointed a silenced assault rifle in my face.
“Anyone with any doubt who the bad guys are here … be certain it is the City of Tempe, City of Phoenix, and police forces valleywide. There is no excuse for pointing an AR-15 in the face of a non-violent offender.”
Shomer added in further posts that he spent a night at Maricopa County’s Fourth Avenue Jail following more than five hours in Tempe police custody, during which time he was given “nothing to eat.”
Tagging the front door of Tempe’s municipal building may have been the final straw for authorities.City of Tempe / Facebook
He wrote that he was “told I wouldn’t receive medical attention after requesting it, even though it was posted on the wall to ask if desired. I was having a panic attack, cause they put a fucking assault rifle in my face (that’s illegal, both denying medical attn, and excessive force).”

A lot of you reblogged the funny post about his “art”, so please help boost and support his GoFundMe! He is collecting $10,000 for legal fees.
Arizona police have a brutality problem- with several AZ cities leading the statistics on officer-involved shootings in 2018 and 2019. Every 5 days, someone is shot by police in Arizona. Dustin is very privileged that he didn’t become another statistic, but he needs our help now to support his legal battle. #ACAB
