This mental midget regularly does this to be "in your face". A natural human function has nothing to do with it.
I would reply, "Apologize this!"
I'm sad so many can not understand breastfeeding.The breast unlike the bottle does not need to be sterilized.The mothers body filters out toxins and gives the baby the benefits of her antibodies . Breast fed babies are cuddled more than bottle fed babies.Formula was invented for orphans and children born out of wedlock.A hundred years babies who were not breast fed died.I wish more women would breast feed their babies.The police officer sounds ignorant . She should appologize.When I see a mother taking the time to breast feed her baby ,I feel joy because I know the baby is loved.Those of you can't stomach the sight of a mother breast feeding her child need to get over yourselves.
I would disagree with you here. You are viewing this from the standpoint of the psychology of the individual woman demanding the apology and whatever [inappropriate - I think you mean] gratification she might get from the apology.
What you fail to examine is the altogether beneficial effect on the conduct of public officials that can come from demaning appropriate public apologies. Having suffered the public humiliation of admitting that they were wrong, there is then little further price in admitting an error to themselves and not repeating that action and that type of overreaching in the future. Allowed to maintain a public face of "well actually I really did nothing wrong and the woman while perhaps acting within the law offended the moral standards of our community which I was defending - blather, blather." Allowed to get away without apolgising, the official is likely to be encouraged to see what further misdeeds he can perpetrate in is arrogant ways.
