Just one more reason I can never fly again, being very deaf myself. It won’t actually matter because I quit flying about 15 years ago after being man-handled and groped in Minneapolis by a TSA agent who barely spoke English, and badly needed to learn about deodorant.

I HATE what those damned Saudi hijackers did to us.

“ ‘She’s White, so it’s okay.’
No. It is not okay no matter the color of the person’s skin. “

So you Don’t get satire then?

I should have added the sarcasm tag, though I thought it was obvious, by the rest of my post.

O course it's a crime. Disgusting.

Qualified Immunity needs to end. Period. The cop the dislocated Karen Gardner’s arm was arrested and sent to prison. The same needs to happen here IMO.

I gout thoroughly patted down by a female TSA agent in Miami. I asked her if they charge extra for that. She didn’t appreciate that.

To many “Magee said”s in that article to take it at face value imo.

Sorry but what a stupid thing to say. When one buys a lottery ticket, it is a voluntary transaction - win or lose.

She didn't volunteer to be arrested for only trying to rebook a flight and being deaf, then stripped naked in jail and having her arm broken with no medical treatment for 3 days.

I have two metal hips and I fly fairly often. Yet despite having “TSA precheck” I'm always patted down at airport security. I guess my white hair,my limp,my “I'm A Blood Donor” t-shirts (I have a hundred of them) and my blue jeans are a tipoff that I'm a dangerous criminal.

“Yea but it’s going to be the taxpayers footing the bill. :( “

If it is the city of Austin, the idiot taxpayers deserve it.

I get that but the implication could be construed that she was somehow "lucky" this happened to her because she possibly wins a jackpot.

I hope she wins a lawsuit but more importantly the cops involved, especially the one who broke her arm should face criminal charges.

And the ticket agent who called the cops on her should be fired.

Saudis didn't implement any of the overreaching, post-9/11 government policy changes. They were just "keeping us safe" - like they did with forced COVID vaccinations.

No.

For one thing you are assuming that every taxpayer and voter in Austin votes Dem. They all do not. And secondly even if they do, punishing the taxpayers without holding the cops accountable for their bad actions just gets more of this.

I am the same way. I have severe hearing loss. My last flight, I was asked a bunch of questions from a TSA goon. He was wearing a mask, so I couldn’t read his lips. He then they got agitated at me because I wasn’t answering their questions.
But they didn’t break my arm, so there’s that.

I don't know how well I'm known here on FR but I have been around for a while and post pretty regularly. But those with any knowledge of FR know that there are many,like me,who use sarcasm to make a quick point.

I watch many of those "auditor" videos on youtube. They chronicle various police encounters with the general public. I know that there are cops who violate Constitutional rights as well as the personal integrity of the general public. And this one sure as hell appears to be such a case.

True, it does seem to be one-sided. I would like to know both sides of this story. The real truth of what happened.

They choose to live in Austin so zero sympathy for them. I moved from Portland to Montana in the past few years after my kids got through school becaose of the Leftist Hell Hole Portlamd became after Oregon went 100% mail-in20 years ago and fraud became easy for Multnomah County to steal elections.
