A Rochester activist who tried to crash a city press conference amid protests over the police-involved death of Daniel Prude was told she was being locked up for “being an idiot,” according to a report.

Black Lives Matter organizer Stanley Martin, who is also a member of the group Free the People Roc, was among a group of activists who attempted to get into the city Public Safety Building where Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren was due to brief reporters about the unrest, WXXI-TV reported.

“No, no, stop it!” Martin shouted as a cop chased her out of the room.

“You want to get tased?” the officer responded. “All right, you’re going to get tased.

”The cop pointed a Taser at the activist but holstered it after others in the building urged him to do so.

“You’re arresting me for what?” Martin asked.

“Being an idiot,” the officer shot back.

“You’re a racist pig,” Martin answered.

Martin was then told she was being charged with trespassing.

Oh no, now we’re going to see liberal lawyers or activists defending someone’s right to be stupid, without suffering the consequences.

Seem to remember another loser leftist female with the name of Stanley. Her dipstick offspring did a great bit of damage.

locking up idiots is going to lead to jail overcrowding immediately.

Me too. Check her for special comm gear. If she has it, she’s an officer in BLM and needs to be held on charges of insurrection.

Sounds like good police observance in this incident.

The cop’s response was perfect. The most effective way of dealing with these people is not taking them seriously. They have such a high-and-mighty opinion of themselves that calling them an “idiot” to their face might be even more damaging than a taser. Especially if there were fellow “idiot” snowflakes around to hear it.

And this is what the MSM calls news? The real news is about the disruption.

Could have been a college professor. There’s a lot of that going around.
