I heard if you say that you're not resisting while you are obviously resisting, the cops will just say "oh I didn't see it that way" and just let you go

[u/John_Penderghast]

I love how the supervisor roles up and basically says “she’s under arrest” and that is that.

[u/nzerinto]

Holy fuck she’s annoying. Those cops had the patience of a saint.

[u/styckx]

She blamed this on unraveling from a life of domestic abuse..

[u/rumster]

But she is a Assembly Woman!!!! MY GOD!!!

[u/mountainmicrojoe]

That supervisor was awesome. Totally backed his guys up and took absolutely zero shit from that woman. Stone cold, “arrest her.” 👏👏👏

[u/DancesWithTards]

Man, police cams are catching all kinds of politicians having public meltdowns. Maybe we should stick 'em on the Secret Service & see what kind of shenanigans are going on in the White House.

[u/Inaglasscage]

I think she might’ve been rear-ended...

[u/[deleted]]

Was she actually drunk or high?
