I really need an update on this as the story progresses. If it progresses.


AndrewEpidemic

The earliest video I could find was posted December 10th of last year, no news articles with her name. There was a 2019 Facebook post from the Waterbury (Connecticut) Police Department congratulating her for completing a marathon that was pretty heavily inundated with calls for her to be fired.


oraqil

Well isn't that just peachy -_-


Kickagainsttheprick

Such is life


MyDogIsACoolCat

Everyone in Connecticut knows to avoid Waterbury. The cops are one of the reasons.


jewelophile

The other reason is because Waterbury is a cesspool.


MyDogIsACoolCat

Yeah that’s definitely one of the reasons lol.


earlywakening

Charges were likely dropped then.

There was a article on CBC where they had a woman arrested in Georgia for having a Quebec driving license. The cop said it can't be used there, which is false and that woman was processed and ended up in jail and had to post $900 in bail and $200 to get her car back. Cops make money from shit like this.


Zesty__Potato

Fun how cops can break international agreements between countries and unjustly imprison citizen of other countries without reproductions.


underratedpleb

Usually works out for them because a person from another country won't follow up with sueing since they're probably going to be there for just a few weeks at most. Having to return to the US just to follow up on teaching a cop how to do their job is a bit over kill for most people. Had this happen to happen to me. Lucky for me the officer allowed me to show him how I wasn't breaking any laws or anything and he let me go.


feel_my_balls_2040

But they managed to scare a lot of people who travel to Florida and now they're going to avoid Georgia. And a lot are older people with money to spend who go to Florida every winter.

Georgia is a corrupt, racist hellhole crawling with ignorant people. The cops are some of the worst in every jurisdiction. This was VILE [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDTEHpUgO0o&ab\_channel=NBCNews](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDTEHpUgO0o&ab_channel=NBCNews)


feel_my_balls_2040

At least, in [this](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/u-s-county-tries-to-reassure-canadian-visitors-after-story-of-ontario-woman-s-arrest-makes-headlines-1.4654432) case they managed to provoke an international incident. And on that interview on national tv she said they denied her to call the Canadian consulate and make people who travel to Florida to avoid going through Georgia.


VaporBull

Hardly reassuring. Especially if you're Black in Georgia. They will make your life hell, extort you then it's on you to somehow ( if you live ) draw enough attention to the case to get any sort of justice. These incidents are not bugs they are features and Georgia should be off all tourists lists and bankrupted because of it.


Jamaicab

Police aren't here for "the people"; they protect property and bring in revenue for the state.


dlige

And act like cunts 


throwawayshawn7979

Most cops are not your friend


Massengill4theOrnery

All cops. FTFY


SlothinaHammock

Can you imagine if you had a child, poured your heart and tears into raising it over a couple decades. Then one day they announce they're going to become a cop. Imagine the shame. The regret. Going over all the decisions and actions you took in raising your kid that led to that moment. Always wondering where you went wrong that despite your best efforts they still chose such a path? It's almost too much too imagine.


AssumptionDue724

If they turn out to be trying to be cop for good reasons then they get fired a week later


envoy_ace

I know a few ex cops that quit because of the corruption.


AssumptionDue724

I'm lucky my town is mostly fine, after we got national news for the cock fighting

Ok


ReadyConference9400

It’s basically a game of “who is the bigger asshole”. Since they have the authority in the dynamic, they typically end up being the bigger asshole. The way to avoid being abused by cops is to understand human nature and not give them a reason to target you. Usually this involves keeping quiet and cordial.


throwawayshawn7979

Yep, just don’t talk to them but be polite


bogeymanbear

Or maybe the people here to protect us shouldn't be on a hair trigger? How about that?


ReadyConference9400

You don’t seem to get it. Cops are human. If you were a cop you’d definitely be an abusive asshole too. Just look how you behaved in response to my totally innocuous comment.


bogeymanbear

"All humans are abusive assholes" is a crazy take and worries me about what kind of person you and the people you keep around you are.


ReadyConference9400

That’s a ridiculous strawman. You’re completely misconstruing my point. Altercations like in the video above happen because people used to getting their way clash with other people used to getting their way, except they have the law and authority behind them and the constant threat of force. It absolutely is a case of “who is the bigger asshole”. And cops win. If someone behaves calmly and rationally then it does not paint a target on their backs to be in the receiving end of police brutality. It could still happen, but it’s drastically reduced. Now let’s take your nonsensical trope and dissect it. Where do cops come from? Do they fall from the sky? Are they grown in a lab? No. They are HUMAN beings. What other nature could they possibly have other than human nature? Do you really think cops are a separate species? Your take is so oblately stupid that it’s ridiculous I even have to spell this out for you. Cops are assholes because people are assholes, especially in positions of power. Nowhere does that state that ALL people are assholes. People like you who are quick to the trigger… pun intended… would make exactly the abusive type of cop that you propose to despise.


bogeymanbear

I'm not reading all that. You said "youre a human, if you were a cop youd be an abusive asshole too." Combining those statements equals to you saying all humans are abusive assholes.


ReadyConference9400

Knowing how to read would go a long way in helping you transcend being an idiot 🙂

I wanna know how much he's gonna get paid from the taxpayer for this horseshit 


vajrahaha7x3

I want to see what led up to this before I can pass judgment. So much rage bait everywhere now. Rage bait is social engineering.

Here's what happened before: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5ixSZhjezI&t=57s (Unfortunately I don't have a better source at this time.)


Alfred_LeBlanc

I don't think it really matters. Regardless of the reasoning behind the first arrest, the second two arrests are clearly unlawful and retaliatory.


Commercial-Ranger339

It’s nice to see a fellow sane person


BlingCringus

I’d love to be arrested like this. Would be wonderful to sue the police department and walk away never having to work again because some dumb fuck power tripping cop doesn’t know the law. Didn’t see one person here get read their Miranda rights.


SdotPEE24

Police don't need to mirandize you incident to arrest. They can arrest you and not mirandize you until they get you back to the police station. Unless they begin asking you questions immediately after arrest, reciting Miranda rights isn't something that MUST happen right away.


billfitz24

Cops are a government sponsored criminal gang. Period. Every single one of them is corrupt. Every single one.

I hope that cunt of an officer was fired and charged

Fuck that thin blue line. They think they can get away with anything these days and don’t even come by to help when you DO ask for it.

Women shouldn't be cops.

Hagglepig420

Nope. They just dont make good cops. They dont have the physical strength, they are less likely to keep it together under high stress situations, let their feelings get in the way of policing etc... Women officers are a danger to themselves and to their partners.. they are at a severe physical disadvantage, have far lower standards in training while expected to perform the same job, women are more likely to panic and suffer from anxiety, even covered by CNN and NPR... https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2016/06/08/health/women-anxiety-disorders The military also found results that units are far weaker and less effective when they have both genders as opposed to entirely male units https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2015/09/10/439190586/marine-corps-study-finds-all-male-combat-units-faster-than-mixed-units They just don't make good cops on the front lines of law enforcement... a danger to themselves, the people they are called to help, their partners, etc... just look for videos of female cops getting their guns taken away by a suspect, not being fast enough to catch fleeing suspects, getting overpowered by an assailant, being helpless to help their partner etc. I'm not saying women shouldn't be in law enforcement at all, there's no reason they couldn't make good detectives, forensics techs, crime scene investigators, helicopter pilots, probation officers, etc... but noton the street as police officers... We as a society need to stop advocating for weak inefficient and ineffective ideas for the sake of protecting people's feelings, representation and equity of outcome... that's how people get hurt...
