We're the Only Ones Escalating the Situation Enough

Travelling down the escalator, she was looking for her fare in her bag when a police officer told her to hold the rail. When she told him she didn't have three hands he demanded to see her ID so that he could write her a ticket. [More]
And naturally, things escalated from there, as only an "Only One" can make them escalate...

I guess it's safer than messing with bad guys who are capable of escalating back...

Sooo. She had to let go of the handrail to fish her ID out of her purse. Looks like a clear case of entrapment to me.

Peace officer v. law enforcement officer.

Cowards do that. You couldn't melt that motherless son and pour him on a bad guy.

"Jude! Raus! Kommen Sie mit uns, schnell! Schneller!"

One day I will be in earshot. It will get ugly.

No surprise.

Remember when a kid got roughed up from eating a french fry at a DC Metro station?

Oh, my, another citizen treated like shit. I should be outraged, but at least it wasn't me. Move along.

The true nanny state Utopia asks , no.... begs for this.

Because in their world we need those laws enforced to protect us from ourselves. This is where the liberal mind wants us to arrive at. Question-less zombies.

If a citation wasn't issued and the bimbo tripped and injured herself on the escalator Wouldn't she have sued the officer in true La-La land fashion?

Definitely possible Mr. Richards, which is a great reason we also need tort reform in this country.

Personal accountability took a vacation decades ago.
