These narcissistic toddlers get off starting shit with innocent people and then playing the victim when an authority figure comes around.

Its disgusting.

However that video gives me hope that these bullies do get caught get no pity and get arrested.

BLUF: No permission needed.

She smacks the phone and the cop walks up and says 'you don't have permission to smack the phone out of her hand' and 'you're under arrest'.

They popped up so quickly. I wonder if they'd been watching the Trumper for a while, like maybe she'd been behaving suspiciously and they were keeping an eye on her, ready to pounce if she put a foot wrong.

Whatever the reason they were so prompt, good work, guys!

And he just walked right up there as soon as the phone was knocked to the ground, no lag time at all. Looks staged to me.

and there is a strong police presence. Your suspicion suggests you are probably a suspicious character.

Considering how conspicuous this person was with the Trump banner, obviously trying to draw attention to herself, she may have been flagged (pun intended) many minutes earlier for bizarre and possibly threatening behavior. Certainly whoever shot this video identified a situation about to unfold, which makes me wonder how long this person had been acting inappropriately.

As has been pointed out, airports are among the most police/security intensive locations in the world. Monitors everywhere, cops visible in pretty much every public area. So they may have been following her around for quite a while, waiting for such an incident.

Having been burgled, mugged and raped during my lifetime, I have no illusions about the efficiency of the police. In this instance though I can only applaud the outcome as presented in this clip.

Surely there is no "reasonable expectation of privacy" in a busy airport? It's not that different from snapping pictures on a public street.

Airports though are privately owned, often, right? They could set special rules on their property, but I've never heard of one doing so.

She sounded resigned, ever a little unhinged. Stress response? It could be that the life disrupting consequences of being so thoroughly wrong and out about it will slow the rate or stop the spread of Trumpist's infections.

appreciate being recorded, if not realize that it might cause police to keep tabs on her. Grievance upon grievance.
