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.”

Am I the only one who imagined this?

Don’t know but suspect the other kind with five toes each were thought of more often.

LOL -— No, that was my first thought also. Didn’t raise it because I didn’t want to appear stupid. But now that you raised it, I confess.

Particularly if you jaywalked like this chick apparently did.

In her case it was ‘jay running’

I told my wife this morning that the “authorities” who will be taking people to internment camps are currently being trained in the local community. They’ve been taught that it’s us and against them.

Regardles ANY other aspects of what's going on in that photo, those two lardasses are disgraceful.

On the other hand, when shtf, we can all hope that a similar physical fitness standard has been maintained by the balance of the country's various Stasi branches.

John and Jane Doe joggers will sit in the morgues for days or intensive care units at the hospital while the police try to figure out who they were and how to notify their family.

Awwww. I was officially a John Doe for 3 days when I was brought into the hospital sans ID (and clothing, for that matter). It all worked out.

And after I regained consciousness, they really didn't want to know me.

They’ll arrest jaywalkers but let beggars harass the crap out of you and try to intimidate people into giving them money. Now, if the beggar is across the street they’ll be arrested by UT cops.

I do have to say that it’s good to see this happening in a blue cesspool like Austin. Maybe the left will see what the right is complaining about.

You’re welcome. The “Toe shoes” are all the rage with the Paleo crowd.

Smart joggers do. People get hurt jogging.

Well there ya have it Mr. Drew....she should also be fined and prosecuted for also being an uninformed jogger who was jogging in violation of governemnt code and conduct.

In fact, you should be made to wear ID at all times, even in the showering at hotels, while on vacation...

In fact, even at the beach while swimming, you should always carry your ID. Be smart...
