WORCESTER - A Portland, Maine, police officer was arrested Saturday during a concert at the Palladium on Main Street.

Zahra Munye Abu, 24, faces misdemeanor charges after acting unruly and refusing to leave when asked by security, according to Worcester police.

She was in Worcester to see rapper Ja Rule and R&B singer Ashanti.

Good thing she wasn’t armed or someone may have been shot.

Why are we making Somalis police officers?

I don’t know. A social worker once told me that local large hospitals hire Somalis and train them as CNAs so they will have in house translators.

Translation is a big business, Pretend not to speak English, go to hospital, have your uncle Mo translate for you, for big bucks, 60 plus an hour for four hour blocks. Sometimes twice a day.

Costly to health care. And it is the law.

She is the youngest of 9 children & doesn’t wear her hijab while patrolling. Whatever the glowing write-up in the above article she surely showed poor judgement at the concert.

“A 24-year-old Portland police officer has been charged with five misdemeanors, including assault and battery, after being arrested Saturday night at a concert venue in Worcester, Massachusetts.

Worcester police said Zahra Munye Abu, of Portland, is also facing charges of trespassing, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and disturbing the peace.

Abu caused a disturbance while attending a Ja Rule and Ashanti concert at the Palladium Nightclub on Main Street, said Worcester police Sgt. Kerry F. Hazelhurst.

“The nightclub was hosting several live musical acts,” Hazelhurst said in an email. “She was (given) several opportunities to leave and refused. Eventually she was placed under arrest.””

So was she drunk or high, or both. Was she partying too hard or was she there protesting in the name of a false prophet?

She’s gaining more attention now. Notice they buried whatever the reason for her acting out was.

Somali Police Association in Minnesota---getting dental work, I hope.
One of their Somalis colleagues killed a girl without provocation.

They come to the great melting pot of America then proceed to set themselves apart.

Most people now understand that “racist” simply means, “I disagree.”

I imagine there was once a time when people could say, “I disagree with your (point x) because (reasoning and evidence y).” However, it’s probably just a fantasy.
