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.

Student Chris Quintero, who the Daily Texan reported witnessed the arrest, said he saw the woman jogging with headphones on when police ran after her. When the woman failed to stop, the officer grabbed her by the arm and handcuffed her, Quintero said.

According to a statement to The Daily Texan from police spokeswoman Lisa Cortinas: “[In this case], the call is titled failure to identify.”

I wasn't commenting on the story itself, I was commenting on a poster saying "It's Austin, you might have to wear something that indicates your sexual preference."

I agree.
I once saw “Cops in Texas”, I have never seen a cop run as fast as the fat cop on that episode did. All the cops in this episode were chubby/fat. Donuts! Ha!

So this Chief Acevedo is an LAPD reject?
It all becomes clear now.

You don’t really need to ping the entire thread when you post.
Especially to the same post that you post on other threads, and ping us all to.
Every time....
Sure, I don't need to... but I want to.
Well you can start leaving off the ones that you have already spammed with your repeated post.
You should have included OneWingedShark, he may not read the threads.
I do read them.
Heck, I even read replies to my posts.
No biggie. It had been awhile since I’ve seen the flyer. Just gets more like real life whenever I see it, though.
But really, rounding up all the names from a thread seems labor intensive, you really don’t have to do it.

This is for the folks who get upset with citizens suing the police.
It looks like Austin police chief Art Acevedo is a millionaire. While he was working for the California Highway patrol. He filed a million dollar lawsuit, and won.

FTA:
“Acevedo filed a whistleblower suit against the department, and in December 2007, the CSPB filed a lengthy report excoriating the actions of the former commissioner and his staff and agreeing that Acevedo had been retaliated against. Eventually, after Acevedo had already arrived in Austin, the CHP settled the suit for nearly $1 million.”
I got a GreaseMonkey script, FreeRepublic TreeViewer, that makes a button that pops the posters into a table format, I can copy that into a spreadsheet, select/copy the "poster" column into my word-processor, then search-and-replace the line-breaks with ';' — copy the result to the "To" box, done.
I could make it so that the button would do all the proper formatting, but (1) I'm lazy, (2) I don't really like JavaScript, and (3) having a multi-step process gives me time to abort [where a one-click solution wouldn't].
Thank you.
In a way I'm glad that they're relevant… in another way I'm rather saddened.
In any case, I'm working on a few more — the current project being titled The American Legal System
