MILWAUKEE – A woman arrested Saturday for spitting on a teen protester was arrested again Sunday after being accused of shoving a 21-year-old college student who was writing protest messages in chalk on the sidewalk in front of her home.

Police said Stephanie Rapkin of Shorewood, Wisconsin, resisted arrest and kneed an officer in the groin when they tried to arrest her Sunday on battery and disorderly conduct charges. Rapkin was booked into the Milwaukee County Jail on Sunday and kept overnight. Bail was set at $950.

1. Lucky for her she is a white woman.

$950 bail. What a joke.

14. Yep. She kneed a cop in the groin. A Black person would likely suffered a beating, at minimum, for

that act.

2. She seems nice . . .

5. First thing she needs is a psych eval. nt

[Ms. Toad]

10. Yes.

My reaction in watching that was that there is a mental illness of some sort going on. The protestors who surrounded her seemed almost protective of her - not the reaction I've seen in other similar situations.

6. She must be a civil rights lawyer,....

Oh wait,.... maybe not.

7. Well, I can entirely understand going for the genitals of any thug who

tried to drag me out in public like that. Is that a pajama top?

11. Wait - where's her obligatory statement...

about how she’s “not racist?” 🧐

13. Looks like a meth-head to me.

16. Guess that her beautician has been closed for a while.

Probably pissed about that.
