To be fair, she was a writer. And a Jooo.

By advocating for the OWS freaks, she became one of them and subject to arrest.

I remember when America was a free country.

And people wonder why I don't like cops

now this is something everyone should be protesting, and fiercly

Yea yea. This isn't even a pimple on the ass of the bonus army yet.

I'll say this much, if all these people, and the 70%+ of people that approve of their sentiments, don't motherfarking vote to counteract this neoliberal nonsense we've been practicing since 1980, it's not going to amount to anything.

A "white shirt" (senior NYPD officer) told her she was breaking the law in doing so, and when she asked him to clarify how this was so, he had her arrested.

Don't know why I was expecting something different but if you watch the video that's almost exactly what happens.

Has anyone bothered to explain to the people that can produce and enforce them what a "lawful order" actually is? Seems most officers believe them to include anything that comes out of their mouths.

I remember that to... it was an awesome dream...then the phone rang, and I woke up.

anyways... finally someone falsely arrested for a non-existent law who probably has enough money to sue the shiat out of NYPD.

Like shooting fish in a barrel, the cops would rather occupy themselves with a protest than pay attention to more serious crimes that are happening in NYC. Beware of the Abner Louima treatment from the cops, lady.

This woman is obviously insane and needs to be locked up.



Wolf suggested in 2003 that the ubiquity of Internet pornography tends to enervate the sexual attraction of men toward typical real women. She writes, "The onslaught of porn is responsible for deadening male libido in relation to real women, and leading men to see fewer and fewer women as 'porn-worthy.' Far from having to fend off porn-crazed young men, young women are worrying that as mere flesh and blood, they can scarcely get, let alone hold, their attention." Wolf advocates abstaining from porn not on moral grounds, but because "greater supply of the stimulant equals diminished capacity.

I am sorry, but I cannot get behind someone who thinks in such crazy ways.

Yeah, she sounds like a fat apologist. I'm with the DHS on this one.

Well c'mon. Wearing an evening gown to a protest is in poor taste. 30 days, bread and water.......

So, everybody looks the other way when The Powers That Be install a constitutuionally ineligible person in the White House, then you're surprised when they take away your constitutional right to gather peaceably?

You can't have it both ways, people. You have to stand up for what is right, and having someone who is dedicated to this country is what is right when it comes to the presidency. Harrison Bounel/Barry Soetoro/Barack Obama/whoever he is is not that person. And it's not right that the DHS can cordone off a street because of a peaceable demonstration.

These thugs are at the point where they think they can do anything.

The sad thing is the police will continue to do things like this and get away with it.

I could get behind her.

I'm glad they arrested her. Now we will get some attention to the ways the first amendment has been removed and replaced with permission for police to do anything they want.

Our laws are so contradictory, not even the lawmakers understand them, let alone the LEOS. But they just keep passing more and more, without even reading the bills.

Time for change?

I'll accept that she was wearing an evening gown, but was she showing cleavage? I guarantee this would have been an non-incident if she had been showing an adequate amount of cleavage.

That's a new one.

Still not a police state?

Walker: Not as bad as the 40 cops it took to arrest a woman at the Occupy Seattle protest for the crime of....sitting down and opening her umbrella.

I really try to avoid getting into "police state! lack of freedom!" etc hyperbole, but it's really goddamn hard not to when you see ridiculous laws like this one not only being passed, but being enforced.

But worse still is that stuff like this -- and sadly there are countless examples in recent years -- does not spark outrage among the general populace. Instead, the person being arrested is painted as a troublemaker.

And here I thought being a troublemaker against unjust authority was an inherently American trait.

OnlyM3: Still not a police state?

I'm sure the police truly believe that, they are just caught up in the career path management track. Group-think and all that.

you're also a pretty big asshole and should be beaten and arrested if you use "peaceable conduct" in a sentence for no reason.

relcec 2011-10-20 06:43:48 PM
actually saying "peaceable" at all should be an offense. wtf is wrong with you. peaceful motherfarker.

I'm sorry to inform you that you have Alzheimer's - and it's most likely not peaceable

in all fairness - she was asked like 3-4 times to vacate the sidewalk before any action was taken.
I don't know what law or city ordinance they acted under, but I am going to assume there is one, and she was asked a few times before being removed from the side walk.

If you are told to do something, its best to just go ahead and do it, and fight it later- On the street is not the place to have that battle if you enjoy your wrists being bracelet free.

Calling Naomi Wolf a writer is like calling Paris Hilton an actress.

So the whole civil rights era was based on listening to the orders of the police?

they would have got those civil rights by following the rules even quicker! duh, everyone knows that

No, because it established the most dangerous precedent in addition to all the shiatty decisions Bush actually made.

That's as many as four tens.
And that's terrible.

Oh no your so right, the time and place to fight "the man" is on the roadway where you are about to be arrested for what ever.

Like it or lump it - many states have a catch all charge

Take for instance - NY State law
Disorderly conduct

A person is guilty of disorderly conduct when, with intent to cause public inconvenience, annoyance or alarm, or recklessly creating a risk thereof:

1. He engages in fighting or in violent, tumultuous or threatening behavior; or

2. He makes unreasonable noise; or

3. In a public place, he uses abusive or obscene language, or makes an obscene gesture; or

4. Without lawful authority, he disturbs any lawful assembly or meeting of persons; or

5. He obstructs vehicular or pedestrian traffic; or

6. He congregates with other persons in a public place and refuses to comply with a lawful order of the police to disperse; or

7. He creates a hazardous or physically offensive condition by any act which serves no legitimate purpose.

Disorderly conduct is a violation.

Get your black ass to the back of the bus lady!!!!!

I'm sure there are a few desk clerks back at the precinct that are pouring through books looking for the most asinine, petty laws that the city has, just to enforce them on the OWS crowd.
Most cops are probably shaking their heads that they can legally follow through.
Orders are orders.
