yeah,BronxBomber. I feel something such as this, since being released about three days ago, should have everyone talking, but that is not so. I just gotta go Hmmm. The lady was arrested for resisting arrest, but to resist arrest one has to be informed they are under arrest. I think maybe the magnitude of this is not realized. There are many bill of rights implications in this (I believe illegal) search and seizure. For starters (as far as I can tell) there was no moving violation to begin with. I still think this video shows an end result of an effort by a very few to alter a way of life. But, then it just may be a case of Who The Hec Hired These Guys!
I think something is amiss here. What is it? Why is there no public outcry? She was vindicated, but why was she arrested?
Hooray for the judicial!

there are two classes of viewers. the ones who know cops do stupid/illegal stuff like this all the time, and the ones who wouldn't believe it could happen because this is 'merica.
some members of the first group gave up on outcry some years back, after doing it over and over again with no results. some are relative newcomers, and will complain, and some of the time, achieve some version of justice.
but for political change, larger numbers are helpful, and the powers-that-be know the media can and will prevent that.

Excellent article, Berkely. It validates what I feel has been really going on. What gets me is willful indifference. MLK has suggested it is indifference towards the act that will be our undoing. Can so many really be so ignorant today? I think not. Perhaps it is a form of Anomie (normlessness) from strain that is no longer contained in certain communities or areas, but is now encompassing a greater part of society as disparity of wealth increases? We (as a society)can no longer control the wants and needs of others in our society. Then, what will it take for most to realize that prosperity may soon not be achievable, because there are those who cannot or will not control their appetites?
