It allegedly started with her jogging in her toe shoes and sporting headphones. It ended in video of her screaming and being led away in handcuffs. What happened in between is a matter of debate, but video showing parts of the incident is certainly gaining traction online.
Whatever the woman did to get the attention of Austin, Texas police, a witness video of cops detaining her on a city sidewalk Thursday morning then escorting her to a nearby squad car indicate she was not happy with their actions.

Now you’ve crossed the line into madness...
Same here.
I dunno.. could be the next Beanie baby, Pokemon card or bitcoin craze
Why?
Look closely at the girl’s feet.
I did later ask each of them if they felt they owed me a tip or anything.... I wasn't conscious.

Me too !

If you are a communist NYC mayor however you can break all the traffic laws you like.
A little taser therapy might work here too! Make blondy jump around her cage a bit...She will obey...
Probably right about that. In the Spanish Civil War the anarchists fought along side the communists - at least until the commies thought they had won, and which point they disposed of their allies.
There is no doubt that jogging would be considered outlandish behavior and highly suspicious to these two tubbies.
Dude’s lucky he didn’t get his ass beat for taking pictures of the cops
Isn't that the same fetish that Cinderella's boyfriend had?

You should not be falling off mountains (that’s one of those X-Game Sports right?) during blizzards. You need to better choose a time to fall off mountains than that.
I’m glad you survived, FR needs you!
You show an impeccable level of ignorance that only a true fool would deem worthy of debate.
Stop making laws that allow cops to stop citizens.

I’m out of suggestions about how to get control of these knotheads.”
More than a few of them need to be put down. Hard.
