To: Do Not Make Fun Of His Ears
I'm defending this officer's (and any officer's) right to secure the scene where they are engaged in a police action. This woman was too close to where the police action was taking place, and the officer was right to request she remove herself from where she was. Demanding she go into her home may, and I emphasize "MAY" have been over the top, but his initial reaction was appropriate.

By the way, people can, and are, arrested for situations where after the fact charges are dismissed, and the officer not held to account for the arrest (in other words, the arrest was appropriate, but the DA decided not to pursue charges). Simply because THIS DA didn't have any balls to stand behind this officer's arrest of this woman doesn't mean that the arrest was invalid or inappropriate.

So when the DA said there was NO EVIDENCE OF A CRIME, and the Rochester Police Department offered none that we know of, in your mind, the DA is a liar and a coward.

Got it.
