When I arrested people who refused to accept my explanation, I ‘d just say “because it’s your turn”. That would stir them up a bit but never made the national news.

No, the jails are empty now, remember? Plenty of room for everyone.

Information provided in writing always supersedes the verbal, and as much as I’m sure these rioters would love to make a big hairy deal over any perceived infraction of the letter of the law, it’s not going to hold up, this is stupid. She was duly informed of the charges against her.

““You’re 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.

That clip pretty much sums up 99% of what is going on these days.

“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.

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.

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.

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!
