Oooh police state, where are our freedoms, it’s the thin end of the wedge, soon we won’t even be able to spit in people’s faces any more.
“What are you going to do, arrest me?”
Police issued a warrant for the arrest of Terry Wright, 65, of Grants Pass, Oregon. The incident on Thursday at a Bank of America in Galveston was captured by the officer’s body camera, the Galveston County Daily News reported.
Police said they had obtained an arrest warrant on resisting arrest and criminal trespassing charges.
The jackass governor has lifted the state mask mandate, but businesses – like banks for instance – can have their own rules. We can’t go into the bank naked, and we can’t go into the bank without a mask.
Police said a bank manager called police after Wright refused to wear a mask while inside, and then refused to leave the building when asked.
She was fighting for our freedom!
Wright told the officer she had come to the bank to make a withdrawal. The officer asked her to go outside or put on a mask. She refused.
“What are you going to do, arrest me?” she asked.
He replied: “Yes, for intruding on premises.”
She said: “That’s hilarious.”
Wright told the officer the law said she didn’t have to wear a mask. As the officer took out handcuffs, she pulled away and began to walk toward the door. The officer stopped her and forced her to the ground. After she was handcuffed, she complained her foot was injured.
“Police brutality right here people,” she said. Replies of “no” and “no, it’s not” could be heard.
They can, too, they can be heard very clearly. It’s heart-warming.
Don’t know what its like in the uSates, but here in The Magical Land of Aus, one cannot go into a bank wearing:
A balaclava
A motor bike helmet
A Guy Fawkes Mask
or anything else that may hide identity from cameras or that might cause staff to suspect a robbery is about to occur.
With or without a pandemic.
Roj, can you wear a colander? In case you’re a Pastafarian?
@ iknklast, I think yes, provided it is worn as a hat, not as a hockey mask, and doesn’t cover the face.
I was happy with proceedings up to this point:
The actual fuck?
I’m inclined to agree. You can’t convince me that the incident couldn’t have been resolved without violence.
Hereabouts, when entering a bank we lower our face masks long enough to register on security cameras, and then wear them properly while conducting business.
Latsot, it’s when a suspect turns away like that, she could be taking out her pepper spray or handgun. You do not pull away from a police officer like that. That officer gave the woman every chance to comply with his commands, and she refused. So he arrested her — good.
And yet somehow we muddle along just fine over here..
I saw no police brutality here . . .
Any injury she suffered, emotional and physical, was caused by having her head up her own ass.
You may assert that. But it was still absolutely unnecessary.
