Cops Arrest Girl For Possession Of Water And Ice Cream

[mrjarrell]

But mostly for being terrified of a bunch of f'in yahoos who were not in uniform and, for all intents and purposes, were just attackers in a store parking lot. These people will skate away scott free and this poor woman has to live with what they did to her. Here's hoping karma rains down on their heads in an unpleasant fashion in the future.

Too bad the women didnt at least have mace on them. I probably would have been shot after assaulting them with a bag full of bottled water repeatedly.

That is some pure unadulterated BS. What restitution will be made to the young lady? What penalty will be imposed on cops?

Question 1: she gets her freedom of coarse.

Question 2: I think we all know that answer.

The ABC Ninjas will maybe get a paid vacation.
The young ladies will get a cash settlement from the court case.
Taxpayers will pay for it all.

 

[Hoosierkav]

And the women will go back to their rightful place as sheep, submitting to all law enforcement out of fear of ever going through this again.

That's sad. All that grandstanding could have VERY easily gotten somebody killed. For what? A case of beer...Them police officers need to be taught some common sense.

There was no beer. It was for water and ice cream. And cookie dough.

I think he means On the assumption of it being beer.

These guys obviously either think they are saving the world by stopping minor consumption or they are just power trippers. These are the instances that make me sick.

Many years ago I have been in bars downtown Indy where excise police with unnecessary dick attitudes were stomping around. It was a raid. IPD in riot gear and similar attitudes were waiting outside.
That's honestly the only negative experience I've had with the police. They just weren't professional. And no I wasn't drunk I was the DD.

This may be the dumbest thing I have heard yet. I didn't think ABC officers had arrest powers. I thought they only had the power to cite for infractions.

They let her go didn't they???

For having the audacity to charge her with assault on them, they all need prison time.

After a night in a cage. What a proud victory for these "Beverage Control" enforcers. Their entire career path is pathetic.

Ice cream and cookie dough. Weapons of Mass Diet-Busting.

Their entire career path is pathetic.

There's no reason for them to even have a career path in law enforcement after this.

No reason for them to have a career path outside of a cell for at least a few years.

If they had any common sense they would not be kidnapping people for buying beer. It takes a special kind of stupid to do that job.

It takes an even more special kind of stupid to do so for buying water that the dumbasses can't tell from beer when they are supposed to be the 'experts'.
