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, youre 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.
Youre arresting me for what? Martin asked.
Being an idiot, the officer shot back.
Youre a racist pig, Martin answered.
Martin was then told she was being charged with trespassing.

When I arrested people who refused to accept my explanation, I d just say because its your turn. That would stir them up a bit but never made the national news.
Sure. Good enough for me.
If I say that was funny, will I go to Whitey Hell?
No, the jails are empty now, remember? Plenty of room for everyone.
Lock her up in the female drunk tank let her be with one of her own fun not to ensue.
Information provided in writing always supersedes the verbal, and as much as Im sure these rioters would love to make a big hairy deal over any perceived infraction of the letter of the law, its not going to hold up, this is stupid. She was duly informed of the charges against her.
“Youre arresting me for what? Martin asked.
Being an idiot, the officer shot back.”
What. . .facts are facts, unless you are a dem.
Reminds me of what happened in court when a burglar backed out of a window, hesitated as he was debating dropping and I said: “Wait, I’ll catch you. . .and I did (both ways).
In court the mama took the stand and said with complete conviction; “So what if you caught him, if he said he didn’t do it, he didn’t do it!”
Seriously. True.
Yep. They do that following Alinsky's dictum: Always make your opponent live up to their own rules.
Depending on his record, the charges might stick.
Not to worry. This is the People’s Republic of NY. Im sure there’s a law against dumba$$ery on our books somewhere.
That clip pretty much sums up 99% of what is going on these days.
very true!! BOLO for idiots now.
“Rochester cop reportedly arrested protester for being an idiot”
If they start arresting people for being idiots, all Democrats would be in jail by morning.
Very good point. Ridicule and humor are weapons also!
These idiots are all about optics and it's good to find various ways of taking the wind out of their sails.
Stanley.. Strange name for a woman... Can only think of one other woman that had that name...
o.O

I always want to issue stupid citations.
Kind of stupid $50.00
You know you were stupid $150.00
You were asininely stupid $1000.00
Most people would easily convict themselves.
It’s called being a public nuisance, creating a disturbance, and interfering with a police officer doing his job. Only idiots violate those laws.
The old traffic code in Salt Lake City defined a Person in section 30. I sometimes would write people tickets for violating section 30. It drove em nuts in the traffic violations bureau. Being a cop in the seventies was fun!
