[Omaha Steve]

Must be an officer without a body cam. Only a handful of OPD personnel have one.

A woman arrested at the May 6 Donald Trump rally in Omaha filed a complaint with the Omaha Police Department on Tuesday, alleging unprofessional behavior on the part of a sergeant who took her into custody.

Tanny Oliver, 23, and a handful of other Trump protesters arrived at the rally as it ended and rallygoers were exiting. She said she stepped away and behind something, to go to the bathroom outside.

While her pants were down, she said, officers grabbed her and took her into custody.

Oliver, who declined to share a copy of her official complaint, said the sergeant told her “I like you” as she was handcuffed and told another person, “I just think she’s cute.”

1. So many of these damned municipal workers have a chip on their shoulders

Especially the cops

And then they have union protection in addition to the civil service

I'd seriously look into eliminating that

F.D.R. Warned Us About Public Sector Unions

“It is impossible to bargain collectively with the government.”

That wasn’t Newt Gingrich, or Ron Paul, or Ronald Reagan talking. That was George Meany -- the former president of the A.F.L.-C.I.O -- in 1955. Government unions are unremarkable today, but the labor movement once thought the idea absurd.

Public sector unions insist on laws that serve their interests -- at the expense of the common good.
The founders of the labor movement viewed unions as a vehicle to get workers more of the profits they help create. Government workers, however, don’t generate profits. They merely negotiate for more tax money. When government unions strike, they strike against taxpayers. F.D.R. considered this “unthinkable and intolerable.”
