She was on her own property, videotaping, saying nothing, and not interfering in any way.
Their were other people on the lawn. The cops ignored them.
The guy said “I feel unsafe” or whatever. Really? The other cops didn’t. One kept his back turned.
This was a case of Contempt of Cop. No WAY was this little wisp of a woman gonna disobey “MY ORDERS” in front of his buddies and the bystanders, without somebody paying. No matter if the order was unreasonable.
It’s important to note that the DA dropped the charges against the woman, and said there was NO EVIDENCE the woman deserved arrest.
