"if That Bubble Touches Me, I'm Going To Arrest You"

[Semper Catholic]

Also I believe the break in film was because the girl said "Problem Officer?" and put on her cool face.

Well, we don't know what happened during those "moments later".

actually, a little blue link appears that says "click here to see full video for full context"

I did not know people abused their power and that there were dumbasses with badges. This is really news to me and proves that all police are corrupt and that a system with people in positions of power cannot work.

actually a lot needs to be said. like why exactly did she get arrested? its not because of the bubbles. the girl put the bubbles away and agreed not to blow them at the officer. so her arrest is something else. although we can not find out why since part of the video is missing. find the rest of the video, post it and then we can see why she was reallly arrested. until then, i looks like your just fishing.

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGMTm3QRwEc&feature=player_embedded[/media] Full interview

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GP_LB_ZhcTA&NR=1[/media] Video about the incident specifically.

Evidently she was arrested for a having a backpack and having a number on her hand, as recommended by lawyers in case of arrest. Evidently these were reasons to arrest people at the event.

It's easy to write off these people as immature authority haters but does it make it right to use the force of the state against them?

When some people lose their liberty, then everyone is in danger of it too. What happens when pro-lifer's get harassed by the police? I wonder what the others will write us off? Crazies? Women-haters?

[ardillacid]

This is the pattern. Other cases are always brought in. These are based off of news reports.

There will be no mention of the thousands of uneventful police actions. Only news report versions of police actions. We will then all pretend that the problem is the State and not human nature in general and that if we got rid of police and the State, that everyone would live in harmony.

You'll get used to it, but if you're like me you'll still comment once in a while.

poo, I forgot something. You are also supposed to disregard any common sense and pretend that everyone who gets tased was simply not complying with bizarre whims of some power-crazed cop.

[MichaelFilo]

I agree, there will never be perfect police, but it is silly to see so many cases arise where there is no punishment. There is a trend here. As the state grows it needs more State enforcers. With an understanding of human nature comes an understanding that granting too much power to any man will lead to consequences that are undesirable, and the police today are raised above the threshold of ordinary citizen and have received quite a few protections from the courts and the state at large.

classic case of people twisting the facts to fit their hatred of the police. the report says she was not arrested for the bubbles but for other things. absolutly classic from some people on here. lets twist the facts about someone being arrested for bubbles being blown. classic twisting of the facts.

also i love the fact that people can be jerks to the police and nothing is said about that. i guess when it comes to acting christian, well that only applies to the police. bystanders are allowed to be jerks and unchristian right?

Being a meanie is not a reason to arrest someone. As long as you don't harm anyone else you are actually allowed to be a jerk. You might not have many friends, but it's not illegal.

And I'm sorry but this girl was not "being a jerk" anyway.

It's not a conspiracy theory "Police State" it's just some dumb individual buttpained Cop. For some reason the job tends to attract those high school kids who always told people "hardcore stories" that no one believed. Now this guy is stuck babysitting protestors instead of breaking down doors with SWAT and has his panties in a bunch.

Pretty stereotypical childish hippie. Probably thinks freedom means being able to do anything, at anytime, anywhere without any consequences. I remember when I was five years old and liked blowing bubbles in my friends faces to be annoying.

LOL and the middle aged man who was shown defending her sure did look like a childish hippie too.

i never said being a jerk was a reason to be arrested. i simply said on these threads everyone always attacks the cops but never says anything about the unchristian people who are arrested. the people always get a pass for acting unchristian because the cops are evil.

she wasn't being a jerk. ok, i guess if i come up to you and blow bubbles right in your face when you have asked me to stop, i am being a nice guy. she had to be asked more than once to stop blowing the bubbles in the cops fcae. but lets just ignore her unchristian actions. lets just give her a pass. cause the pope would so do that to someone when they asked him to stop, right?

the middle aged man was just trying to start something. the cop never disrespected her with his language, yet the middle aged man tried to start an arguement that the cop was being disrespectful with his language. you can debate the cop complaining about bubbles, but you can not complain that he was showing no respect to the women with his language.

Haha I'm sure the Pope has done things much worse then blowing bubbles, I'm sure we all have. Being in a position of authority means you need to even more aware of your emotions. The police woman standing next to Officer Bubbles was laughing it off, reacting appropriately. Instead Officer Bubbles makes a national fool out of himself.

I'm sorry but I'm not going to go around stringing people up for being "unchristian" just because they were being mildly annoying.

My point was that accusing of her of being a "childish leeching hippie that needs to grow up" wasn't appropriate, especially when you've got some random guy who looks like "Joe Corporate Worker" doing the exact same thing.
