“smirking in an intimidating fashion”

I can’t quite wrap my head around that. A phrase like that coming into existence is proof that we are in unserious times.

“The cop says that the woman was “evasive” about where she obtained the sign, eventually saying that she simply found it laying on the ground. That makes the entire “destruction of property” charge rather weak tea. “

BLM: You heard the officer. Let’s go destroy some real property!

Well, it looks like "smirk" has gone full-circle now. What's that saying about sauce and the goose?

If it was not her sign and the owner wanted to be a victim....I could see a misdemeanor property destruction charge.

I have had much worse said and done to me....I just smile and tell them “Have a blessed day”

” attempts to intimidate law enforcement while destroying a ‘Pro Law Enforcement’ sign.”

I suspect there will be a Blue-Line flag burning at the police station before this is all over with.

That’s a multi-million dollar smirk right there.

That one on the right makes me angry all over again.
I don’t need that.

I don’t mean that’s your fault. I just can’t stand him.

She was asking for it. She stole the sign and was trying to provoke him. It worked.

Having said this, I disagree with this arrest.

The left has brought this to the mainstream. Shoe is on the other foot now and they don’t like it. Well that’s too bad. Maybe they should reel their side in now.

Dissing LEO's is a growing phenomenon so be very careful of what you are supporting.....

All my life I have lived in communities where there are good cops. And why is that? It’s because I have lived in good communities.

Cops are just a representation of the people they serve. If you have bad cops, you live in a bad community. If you live in a bad community, you are more likely to vote for bad people. I.e. Democrats.

That’s kind of the opposite. The smirker was being threatened. That makes sense. I doubt that your mother thought that your smirk was intimidating. My mother didn’t seem to think mine was, much less my father.

saying unpopular or even offensive things (or physically acting out as she did) is still considered free speech

No, it’s really not. Try expressing your opinion in the U.S. Capitol.

Pretty simplistic, and wrong, way of looking at it.

We have some bad senior military officers too - does that mean we live in a bad country?
