Just because I felt like sharing the laugh today, here's a video from the Democratic National Convention in Denver. It shows one of the spoiled little suburban white girls from the Anti-American group CODE PINK tussling with a Denver Police officer and taunting him while grabbing his baton... just before she gets her just desserts.
The video was shot by a cameraman for the Rocky Mountain News and inadvertently caught the end of little Alicia's dumb play. The first female voice you here in the video is hers...the one challenging the officer to "F'ing do it again!"
Now some liberals are all upset about this, and predictably the patchouli-reeking dopers in the so-called "protest movement" are livid, but normal Americans don't have a problem with this, especially once they learn that it started when the police were effecting a lawful arrest of another "peaceful protester" for an assault. Alicia, no doubt feeling safe with cameras all around, decided to go for her 15 minutes of fame and attempted to interfere with the arrest of the person that she supposedly didn't even know. (In the world of the lunatic left, anyone getting arrested for anything is a kindred soul.) The police officers told Alica and others to move back, holding their batons horizontally in front of them to effect a barrier. Little Alicia refused, putting her hands on the officer's baton. I guess she figured that her little pink paper crown made her a real princess or something. The officer pushed her back firmly but gently, and that when Mrs. Forrest's little potty-mouthed child screamed "F'ing do it again!" and tried to wrench the baton from the officer's grasp. The officer responded, and Alicia hit the ground like a sack of limp tofu while all around her, other gutter punks began shouting obscenities. (That crowd always spews profanity, probably because all the dope they ingest robs them of the intellectual capacity to form cogent sentences or otherwise communicate like grown human beings.)
A few moments later, when Alicia decides that there's no more benefit to be gained by pretending to be mortally injured, she pops up, seeks out a camera, and begins to give a press conference. At this time, officers move in and arrest her for interfering with the earlier arrest.
The loony left screamed bloody murder about this, because while they demand the right to throw feces, vandalize cars, break shop windows and otherwise act like total savages, they object when the authority responds with any force whatsoever. They barraged the District Attorney with demands that the officer be charged with some crime, but it ended happily when the DA decided that the officer won't be charged as the force applied was justified by Forrest's aggression.
Maybe if little Princess Alicia's parents had spanked her as a child when she became disrespectful and defiant, the Denver Police Department wouldn't have had to do it on the streets of Denver.
Wow, very interesting interpretation of that video! I didn't see the protester grabbing the cop's baton. I didn't see the cop "gently" pushing her back first.
ReplyDeleteAnd in fact, NEITHER DID YOU.
No, my Liberal friend, we did not see that...because the cameraman wasn't looking that way until Alicia screamed "F'ing do that again!" in response to being pushed back the first time.
ReplyDeleteHowever the police investigated and witnesses--including the officer and foul-mouthed Alicia--and determined that the officer had pushed her back gently and that she had in fact grabbed the baton and pushed back. It's spelled out pretty clearly in the article that I linked to.
Reading is fundamental.
And suddenly I flash back to the Rodney King episode, where the last 30 seconds or whatever of a very difficult arrest were played over and over and over and the gullible public believed the narrative that the anti-cop element so effectively pushed.
ReplyDeleteI swear.....the kids these days that parents are producing just blow my mind! Bratty, spoiled, "me-centered" little snobs.
ReplyDeleteLeave it to the police-haters to side with the snobbish princess. *sigh* Maybe they should try to put hands on an officer's baton and see what happens....
The DA didn't say *which* witnesses they interviewed gave the cop's account. Watching the video, it appears a lot of people expressed shock after she was knocked to the ground, so that gives at least some indication it was an unprovoked attack.
ReplyDeleteIs it possible that you'd prefer to believe the DA's account because it fits in with your pre-conceived opinions? I notice how you automatically refer to me as a "liberal."
So, only a liberal would suspect that the DA's side isn't the truth? Only a liberal would take issue with excessive police force?
All this being said, I do give you credit for posting my opposing opinion to your blog post.
The City and County of Denver is run by dems. They would be the first to reprimand the officer if they deemed it appropriate.
ReplyDeleteSome of us proud liberals* understand the kind of crap cops have to take on a daily basis, and how easy it is to take a few seconds of a longer encounter and spin it in such a way as to get the panties of people like Anonymous knotted into a double bowline.
ReplyDelete(*Went door to door for LBJ against Barry Goldwater in 1964, "Clean for Gene" in 1968, Obama volunteer today.)
It really spins me out when I see things like "The officer will not be charged".
ReplyDeleteWhat in hell, exactly, would they think he would be charged with? Following proper riot control procedures? Baton retention?
If someone grabs an officer's baton... make that, if someone IS STUPID ENOUGH TO grab an officer's baton, they are trying to take a weapon. That is simply not going to happen.
Oh yes, they are certainly going to GET the baton, however they will not be KEEPING the baton.
What an ignorant bitch. Arrest them all, and let the courts sort them out.
She was told to get back, she should have done it. Obviously, SOMETHING happened prior to the push we saw her getting, the one that she collapsed from. (It may have been hard enough to knock her down, I don't know, I wasn't there.) And the police appear to be within their rights to arrest her, based on what I saw.
ReplyDeleteWhy does it always seem "Anonymous", no matter in what blog, doesn't appear to have taken an objective look at the story/video? Do some digging of your own, come to a conclusion based on it, THEN come back and post.
If there were cameras on every lightpost and the whole scene was on tape, maybe "Anonymous" would be happy. Then again, maybe "Anonymous" would be screaming about "Big Brother". Some folks will never be happy...
