4 Cops Arresting Jaywalker Photographed

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Austin police arrested a non-violent jaywalker Thursday near the University of Texas campus, spurring outrage. (Austin police can be reached at (512) 974-5000 – SLAM them!)


 
“I was sitting at the Starbucks at 24th and San Antonio,” one witness told The Daily Texan. “Then I hear a cop shout at an innocent girl jogging through West Campus with her headphones on.”
 
Witnesses say the jogger wearing headphones ran past an officer and was quickly subdued for failing to produce identification.

“She repeatedly pleaded with them, saying that she was just exercising and to let her go,” the witness said.

The woman jogger, appearing to weigh no more than 110 pounds, “apparently required four burly APD officers, two on bikes, unashamed about being caught on camera as the scene played out in broad daylight in full public view, to place her in the back of a squad car,” says The Daily Texan.

Footage of the incident shows the woman saying, “I did nothing wrong,” and “I was crossing the street,” to which the person filming the event acknowledges, “I saw you.”

“I didn’t do anything wrong. I didn’t do anything wrong,” the woman screams as officers placed in the back of a squad car. “I didn’t fucking do anything wrong. I just crossed the street.”

Austin Police Department spokespersons told the Texan paper that officers “proactively” patrol the area around the UT campus conducting overall pedestrian and bike safety enforcement, but that there was no specific initiative in place to target jaywalkers.

“This is just one more example,” the Daily Texan writes, “of how the police state apparatus is encroaching on the private lives of citizens and more activities are becoming regarded as thought crimes, with everyone being guilty until proven innocent.”

      Open Season on cops?

      • AMERICA HAS RISEN

        This is doo good to see. If I was in charge is handcuff every American and throw then in jail for ever.
        Bye that American fat lazy runner weighs more than 110 pounds, probably 155 pounds.

      • AMERICA HAS RISEN

        Good job to the cops. Keep child molestirs off the streets. :mrgreen:

          What goes around, comes around. You reap what you sow.
          Your words, your mind-set, so woefully inept.
          I think you are a computer program created to observe human reactions.
          No real human could be this ridiculous…could they?
          Then again, you could be reptoid, getting high off spouting idiocy, sucking energy out of every conversation to feed your dying matrix.
          Either way, you have no real value.

      This is what happens when you have ‘trendies’ or little liberals that no doubt voted for obama [tyranny] that think their government and police force are there for their ‘best interests’. Wake up little kids the party is about to start.

        Thank you kindly but do you really think ‘out-dated’ or little conservatives who voted for a Republican would not have seen the enhancement of the US police state? C’mon. This escalated dramatically with Bush, remember?

        • Neanderthal

          If this is the police state then always make sure you have a dozen dunking dough nuts at the house and you will be safe.

        • iamamerican

          You’re right, I’m neither republican or democrat, so I’m on the outside looking in and see the ridiculousness of both sides and I’m particularly disgusted with the democrats today, and on any other day republicans so, my apologies. What I should have said is these pics make me sick at my stomach. These pics could have been taken on any North Korean street but alas this is America. What I should have said is that these ignorant cops that have distanced themselves from humanity are not going to have an easy go of it when SHTF. If I had it my way Bush would be locked up for treason against America and Americans but Obama should be right there with him. These pics were truly disgusting and nobody should ever go to jail for jaywalking but at least she lived through it, or I hope she did, just yesterday a 17 year old kid was murdered by the cops for answering his door. What is more sad than these pics is that we’re letting this tyranny reign down on us and we’ letting it happen.

        it requires 4 because if they walk more then 35 feet they are worn out.

    • Paul Brown

      This is all just plain demoralizing. No wonder the hippies opted out.

      • Deborah Dupre

        The hippies I knew did anything but opt out. That was just a damning painted media description of them because they threatened a corrupt, inhumane and dangerous corporate-government status quo.

        They were the ones protesting US human rights abuses in Vietnam and cvicl rights abuses of African Americans.
        They were the ones pioneering environmentalism and advocating non-poisoned food.

        The only thing they opted out of was being among the ranks of the rest of Americans who’d lost the capacity of critical thinking and thinking about more than themselves.

    • Neanderthal

      Michelle, Michelle, Hello, Looking at your boys they seem to have an obesity problem? Can you help them please and tell them donuts are not part of their job description. What a bunch of fat fks.

    • Neanderthal

      Did someone get the number of that jogger. :)

    • Svensken

      I’m tipping that this is staged as everything else seems to be in the usa, and when that happens, it is always someone who gets great photos / film of the event, unbelievable coincidence, I think they want to scare everybody, that’s all,, it is just my opinion of it all
