WHITE PRIVILEGE. A person of color would not have been treated this nicely. I do wish the cops had had masks and gloves on.

I said all white cops aren't monsters -- If you view that as a contradiction, I guess it's your problem.

One thing I will NEVER say to a police officer is, "Arrest me."

They probably just kept her for a couple of hours and then let her go, but I'd be satisfied to hear that she was held overnight. Just for fun.

We never got mouthy with the police and respected the rules of civility.

A MAGAt protest is never going to measure up to a respectful demonstration.

(both as a defendant and as a criminal defense attorney), you don't argue with a cop. You wait until court and then give all the arguments you want to the prosecutor (if you want a plea deal) and/or to the Court/Judge.

While the woman arrested was going through the motions of civil disobedience, it isn't the job of the cop to make decisions and judgment of whether she was justified.

And as judges put a certain amount of fidelity to their police officers, you'd better come up with a good story to get either a dismissal or a verdict of not guilty.

I am SICK, SICK, SICK of idiots endangering everybody else. I am 150% certain these fools are Pussy-Grabber supporters. I can tell by the tone of entitlement and obvious white privilege the woman is exhibiting. . . Ugh. How repulsive. I hope she got detained in lock up.
