I read the story. She sounds like a beyotch with issues. Even so, I don't know what law she violated. If the McDonalds asked her to move, and she refused, the McDonalds could call police and have her removed. If she resisted that, then she could possibly be arrested. I doubt, however, that McDonalds made such a call against a customer in this instance. They try to avoid confrontation. Most likely the cop took it upon himself to do some self-help.

Some people become cops so that they can make jerks (or even non-jerks) do what they want. The rest of us just live with them. Depending on what the missing facts are, the cop's employer may have some liability, and the cop may be in for discipline.

The current trend in our country is:

Talk back to Mom, she smacks you and she gets arrested for abuse.

Talk back to a Cop, he Tases you, arrests you and charges you with verbal assault, resisting arrest, obstructing a police officer, disorderly conduct and anything else he can think of so something will stick and you end up spending 6 months winding your way through the judicial system.
