It's a minor offense iemanja Jan 2023 #22

I agree. And to think that some folks here want her to do SlimJimmy Jan 2023 #24

OMG she "walked into" the cop SlimJimmy Jan 2023 #44

What do you think would happen to a BLM protester who intentionally chest bumped a cop? SunSeeker Jan 2023 #45

They dropped the charges. SlimJimmy Jan 2023 #51

It's another example of two different justice systems. SunSeeker Jan 2023 #54

Or they realized the charges were excessive and decided SlimJimmy Feb 2023 #55

She was not "non-violent." She assaulted a cop and resisted arrest. SunSeeker Jan 2023 #53

The fact that you keep comparing her to a BLM protestor says it all. We are better than that. Martin68 Feb 2023 #57

WTF. I am not comparing her to a BLM protester. She is nothing like a BLM protester. SunSeeker Feb 2023 #58
