Subject: RE: BS: Me, myself, and I
Grishka, would you say "The cops arrested I"? I expect not. I expect you would say "The cops arrested me", therefore you should also say "The cops arrested Fred and me" (the cops were doing the arresting). On the other hand, it would be correct to say "I was the person the cops arrested" and "Fred and I were the people the cops arrested" (Fred and I were doing the "being arrested").
