Woman, 61, arrested for asking ‘why’

http://www.prisonplanet.com/woman-61...%80%98why.html

Four women, two of them well into middle age, were discussing funeral plans for a friend when an Atlanta police officer told them to move.

Three did but one asked “why.” In answer to her question, Minnie Carey, then 61, was handcuffed, put into a police wagon and taken to jail, where she was held for nine hours.

The Citizen Review Board found that Atlanta Police officer Brandy Dolson had violated APD policies and had falsely arrested Carey...

A suggestion, that may help others here take you a bit more seriously.

Stop posting PrisonPlanet and Infowars links. Post the original news articles from sources we have less reason to consider lunatic. The Guardian, The Times, CNN, or even links to actual studies and figures.

We cannot take Infowars seriously, it reads like a big pile of conspiracy theories and unjustified fears. If you give us something slightly less loony, we might give you slightly more credibility.

If you don't take this stuff seriously it's your problem I've done my part by posting the info.

Ie: spamming links on a fairly heavily trafficed forum to increase clicks to the infowars website, and therefor increase that insane charlatan's ad revenue.

Deadman is like a corporate employee who doesn't get paid.

Heh heh heh. The Etsy ad is awesome. =D

For those interested: The original article on The Atlanta Journal-Constitution site.

From the original article, it seems that this particular officer has had several complaints filed against him in the past, and those in authority are doing all they can to get him to pay for this abuse of power.

Honestly, I don't expect anything much different from the Atlanta police; I've heard that they aren't exactly the most understanding or pure-hearted of city police.
