Add me to the list; if someone is wearing a mask, I can’t understand anything they say.
Regarding the lady whose arm was broken, why were the cops called?

Heard of an account from a woman who got patted down every time she traveled. She started refusing to go into a back room with them. She would say loudly,”your going to third base, well we are doing it right out here in front of everyone.

Rick Hughes had a good sermon this morning on anger and revenge.
Let go and let God. It happens.
I am a witness. The offender gets theirs. It’s not up to you.
Prayers up for both parties.

The Police were just doing their jobs, following standard procedure. There is no record of any policeman ever violating a citizen's rights.

Although the lady got rebooked for a later flight, shouldn't the gate agent offered to put her on a standby list instead of calling the cops? It would seem to me airlines have to deal with deaf or hard of hearing customers on a regular basis.

Yes the taxpayers will foot the bill. The taxpayers of Austin get the leadership
THEY ELECTED!This case will not even go to court. The only argument will be between her lawyer and the city about how much they will pay!

What the heck. Either much of the true story is missing or this is crazy! A 71 YO woman jailed and received a broken arm? Something is missing.

I too wear hearing aids and even with them on I miss 75% of words when in a noisy place...maybe even more than 75%.

Let me explain this to you...
Slowly...
The cops on the scene report to a senior officer.
He or she tolerates this behavior.
The senior cop reports to a sergeant.
He or she tolerates this behavior.
The sergeant reports to a lieutenant.
He or she tolerates this behavior.
The lieutenant reports to a captain.
He or she tolerates this behavior.
Now, get ready, because this is the hard part:
The captain reports to the chief of police.
He or she tolerates this behavior.
The chief of police is usually an appointed position.
Appointed by an ELECTED mayor.
He or she tolerates this behavior.
The mayor is overseen by an elected town council.
They tolerate this behavior.
So, who is ultimately responsible for this behavior from the police department?
THE VOTERS THAT CONTINUE TO ELECT THE S.O.B.’s that tolerate this behavior.
These voters need to pay for their own incompetence.
And if you are caught up in it, I would suggest that you move.
You get the government you elect.

I am a wheelchair user and last time I flew I was told I may have to be taken to a secure area to remove my clothes. It didn’t happen, but if it had I would have left.

I sometimes put an (s) or (sarc) if the reference is a bit obtuse.
In obvious cases as the one in question (not my post). It is to me quite obvious sarcasm. But your opinion may differ

To: devane617
My Dad,who passed many years ago,was wheelchair bound and looked every bit his 85 years when we flew together. But they still frisked him like he was a 25 year old guy with a turbin and a "death to infidels" t-shirt.
Pretty sad...and sick.
To: conservativesister
Sometimes a post is so clearly satire or sarcasm that it doesn’t need a label.
To: WildHighlander57
In addition to the mask, the TSA goon had an accent probably from the middle east.

Sounds like these goons need a little street/jailhouse justice.

Take their pensions and their job, too. Those kind don’t need to be in any position of even the slightest authority.

And I’m including the gate agent who started the whole ball rolling, too. Just my opinion.

We have bad cops, because they’ve made it so that good people don’t want to be cops.
