In a continuation of the ongoing police scandals rocking the New York City Police Department, three-month old infant Layla Smith has been pronounced dead following an August sixth incident. This closely follows the July seventeenth death of NYC resident Eric Garner after the use of a prohibited choke hold by officers against him. Garners death was ruled a homicide by the NYC medical examiners office.
Suzanne Smith, Layla’s mother, had been sitting on a bench in Queens waiting for the bus when Layla began to insistently cry. Knowing that her baby was hungry Ms. Smith began to breastfeed her daughter. Witnesses at the scene report that she was then approached by a NYPD Officer, later identified as Michael Fitzsimmons, who requested that she stop feeding the baby in public as it was “indecent”. Ms. Smith refused to comply with the directive and told Officer Fitzsimmons that she wasn’t doing anything illegal. Officer Fitzsimmons again insisted that she stop and threatened to arrest her for indecent exposure. Ms. Smith calmly responded to the Officer that he could not arrest her because breastfeeding in public wasn’t against the law.
“He got so mad at her”, said Tyrone Webb, who witnessed the unfortunate altercation. “He started yelling at her, saying that he was the police, and that she didn’t know s**t about what was against the law. He got all red in the face, pointing his finger right at her nose. She just sat there and kept feeding the baby calm as could be, being real polite and reasonable. Someone else tried to chime in and tell him he was wrong and he told the lady to shut up and mind her business.”

Many women chose not to have children. Of those women who do give birth only about a third of them chose to breastfeed even though it is an important health benefit to the child.
In NYC one can readily witness obscene events like the annual Stonewall Inn Parade of homosexuals. But the entire impetus of our society is against having families and caring for children. This police bully episode is but another example.
My standard response to those who don't like a mother discreetly breastfeeding in public is to tell them to look the other way.
Good. Glad to read it isn’t true....yet.
This story is a hoax.
“all citizens must comply with orders to submit to arrest peacefully”
Exactly what you said - “um, no”.
We don’t “submit” to unlawful arrest.
If this is indeed a hoax, shouldn’t it come off the sidebar?
Some are saying this is a hoax. I hope so. The problem is that we really have no problem believing it, so it is not far from the truth.
Poor, poor satire, since the described scenario is entirely believable with all the loose cannon, dog shooting, home invading LEOs running around these days.
Go away! Hell! If this is really the way it went down. This guy is to stupid to continue breathing!

Agreed on both counts sir, - just didn’t want folks going off on something that was apparently, designed to push their buttons in order to get over the top reactions/posts : /

Have a look at the publisher’s lame excuse:

It looks like this story is a hoax.
And it is still a hoax, but let’s not let this stop railing against a bad cop that doesn’t exist.
