She is a race regulator and loves cops... Except when they beat on her.... Typical.

[pfflier]

The ones I know make “The Big Bang Theory” reality TV.

She didn’t have to be wrestled to the ground. She’s the one who made the choice to fight the officer.

John Whitehead wrote a commentary documenting the decisions that put the U.S. Supreme Court in lockstep with a coming police state, for The Rutherford Institute. This is a partial quote from his commentary:

It’s a crime to not identify yourself when a policeman asks your name. In Hiibel v. Sixth Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada (2004), a majority of the high court agreed that refusing to answer when a policeman asks “What’s your name?” can rightfully be considered a crime under Nevada’s “stop and identify” statute. No longer will Americans, even those not suspected of or charged with any crime, have the right to remain silent when stopped and questioned by a police officer.

The cases the Supreme Court refuses to hear, allowing lower court judgments to stand, are almost as critical as the ones they rule on. Some of these cases, turned away in recent years alone, have delivered devastating blows to the rights enshrined in the Constitution.

I side with the woman. The Cop was an arrogant pr*ck.

And since when in America can they demand “Papers” to prove your identity?

We are becoming more totalitarian by the day.

[DManA]

The cops could save themselves so much trouble if they’d just leave people who aren’t hurting anyone alone. Just back off. Let people live their lives.

Is this an impossible dream?

[HiJinx]

Placed in detention and ICE notified.

[Joe 6-pack]

This has the makings of another beer summit.

[Secret Agent Man]

cop is far more to blame, abuse of authority deserves harder punishment.

[Rusty0604]

I thought the Federal gov’t told Arizona that those actions were against the law? I remember Obama saying those poor illegal families can’t even go out for ice cream without fear of detention.

She was fortunate that he did not kill her.

[HiJinx]

Only parts of Prop 204 were struck down. Asking for ID during a criminal stop has nothing whatsoever to do with Prop 204, that’s just standard procedure.

Once an officer gets an offender to the station for processing, and that offender is identified as an illegal alien, the offender is turned over to ICE for processing.

What really happened with Prop 204 has been heavily misreported by a media sympathetic to the lawless.

[sport]

It is now. At one time it wasn’t.

[DManA]

Just one of the 10,000 laws we give the cops as an excuse to check people’s papers.

[Jabba the Nutt]

I'm calling out all of you "follow the rules" folks. Please defend the female cop, who is after all just enforcing the law.

[Jabba the Nutt]

Oops, not a female cop. This guy is seriously disturbed.

[Rusty0604]

Thanks for the clarification.

[LevinFan]

” Don’t require the cop hating idiots to
consider the facts. They are irrelevant if it
supports their opinions.”

And don’t ask boot lickers to ever question a cop’s actions. They are too busy groveling at the feet of cops.

Now that the mutual insulting is over, have you every really considered why so many people hate cops? Or do you just assume everyone is a criminal?

[Political Junkie Too]

No longer will Americans, even those not suspected of or charged with any crime, have the right to remain silent when stopped and questioned by a police officer.

Maybe instead of asking "Am I being detained," the first question one should ask is "Are you going to read me my rights first?"
