She Allegedly Went on a Simple Jog in Her Toe Shoes. So Why Did She End Up...in Handcuffs?
The Blaze ^ | February 21, 2014 | Dave Urbanski

It allegedly started with her jogging in her toe shoes and sporting headphones. It ended in video of her screaming and being led away in handcuffs. What happened in between is a matter of debate, but video showing parts of the incident is certainly gaining traction online.

Whatever the woman did to get the attention of Austin, Texas police, a witness’ video of cops detaining her on a city sidewalk Thursday morning then escorting her to a nearby squad car indicate she was not happy with their actions.

Student Chris Quintero, who the Daily Texan reported witnessed the arrest, said he saw the woman jogging with headphones on when police ran after her. When the woman failed to stop, the officer grabbed her by the arm and handcuffed her, Quintero said.

According to a statement to The Daily Texan from police spokeswoman Lisa Cortinas: “[In this case], the call is titled failure to identify.”

Look at those two, fat donut crunchers masquerading as police officers. The respect I had for police officers at one time in my life has now largely evaporated—evaporated by the heat of their small mindedness and micro evil acts. They should be ashamed but I guess they are incapable of that.

Well, at least these two valiant fatties likely made it home safely—which is all that matters.

Something like this:

Sitting at Starbucks, on the corner of 24th and San Antonio, I noticed a particularly odd situation.Two Austin Police Officers standing outside the Castilian just lingering. Every time I looked back there was a different student holding a carbon copy of what looked to be a jay walking citation.

They were setting a trap to write jaywalking tickets???

I guess it beats going after criminals - they can be dangerous.

I'm not sure either of these two cops have let any chocolate pastry slip through their hands without eating it in their lives.

I guess the APD has eliminated the gang violence issues over in East Austin, such that they can write jaywalking tickets in the West Campus area.

I’m sure that they enjoyed “frisking” her.

The city’s going to have to whip out its checkbook then.

Those fat, out of shape bullies terrorized this girl. I hope she cleans their clock in court. What an outrage.

At least we can all sleep better at night now, knowing this girl is off the streets. Yup.

*********I'm out of suggestions about how to get control of these knotheads**************

Maybe they should have a weigh in before each shift...

I’m actually surprised they could even catch her.
As fat as the doughnut monsters are I would figure
they would have had to shoot her in the back to bag
her as it’s obvious she could outrun either of these
two douchebags without even breaking a sweat.

Police state America is here, it’s entrenched and
it isn’t going to go away on it’s own.

Who carries ID when jogging?

I think joggers should be required to wear little license plate ID’s around their necks similar to what dogs wear.

I don't. I don't carry ID except when I am operating a motor vehicle on public roads. That's the only time. Ever.
