Logic police arrest homeless man for begging the question.
In making the arrest, the conduct of the police begs the question: are we losing our compassion as a society? Also, if their conduct begs a question, then shouldn't the police arrest themselves?

3. In defense of the police: the homeless man was perusing a bag of fruit.
He was clearly comparing apples and oranges.

6. Did he say that the apples have central cores and the oranges have sections?
