I would suppose disorderly conduct is a judgement call on behalf of the officer. I guess I cannot say if a man acting like a lunatic screaming on his porch and refusing to quiet down when asked is disorderly conduct or not. One thing I haven't heard anyone who was on scene say, however, is that the arrest on disorderly was completely unjustified, and there were non-police people on scene. It is true that the charges were immediately dropped, but I do not know how frequently disorderly conduct charges are dropped post arrest on average.
