The context, I would speculate, is that the bus driver called the police perhaps because of a history with this lady being disruptive before.

All assumption you could as easily assume that the deputies just wanted to hassle her. If they are not arresting her then she does not have to get off the bus.

Also, as the poster above noted, a stroller full of pillows might make some people uncomfortable in these “see something, say something” times we live in.

Being uncomfortable is not a reason to allow police brutality or illegal restraint or searches. If being uncomfortable is a valid reason then the country is too far gone and there will be a civil war. Verbal abuse is not reason enough to strike someone.

Does she have a right to make life uncomfortable for the people around her?

Just like you and I have no right not to be offended no one has the right not to be uncomfortable.

How can YOU assume the “the deputies just wanted to hassle her?” They do not routinely board public buses without being called. The stroller lady was the one acting up, not the deputies.

And look at how quickly you allege “police brutality” when there is no evidence of such in the video.

Please tell me about the society you envision where we have no law enforcement.

You make me uncomfortable. Get to the back of the bus.

“All assumption you could as easily assume that the deputies just wanted to hassle her. If they are not arresting her then she does not have to get off the bus.”

What if, for the sake of argument she had been banned from riding the bus and had got on anyway? Could the police remove her then? Or would they have to arrest her for being on the bus had she been banned?
