1. That brave woman knows oppression

when she sees it.

[treestar]

2. Notice they pulled out female cops

So it would look a little better.

[Historic NY]

6. It doesn't...

[Stellar]

16. Agreed!

[KurtNYC]

13. what's up with the cop on the left?

the hair, hair color and headband look awkward to me. ETA: also the only cop with full pants and full sleeves and no sunglasses. Looks like that cop took sunglasses off to hang over the first word of Hedy's shirt.

[951-Riverside]

21. Yes, what is with that red hair and headband?

They're really scraping the bottom of the barrel at these departments.

Take this Ashland Massachusetts Police Officer as an example.



Sheesh

[Hoppy]

28. Frog was violating noise ordinance by croaking after 11 p.m.. What did the frog expect.

Now watch librils try to defend the frog.


Uppity frogs gotta learn their place.

[Takket]

30. The fact your user name is Hoppy makes this post even funnier lol

[Hoppy]

31. I useta be a fan of Hopalong Cassidy.

[lexington filly]

54. Me too.

[HoosierCowboy]

50. Looks like...

...The Droogees of Clockwork Orange are on the force.

[Hoppy]

29. $5.00 a bottle at Walmart. $2 for 9.50 if you bring your Wally Walmart member card.

I think she took advantage of the two-fer special.

[snooper2]

48. LOL, cops are supposed to look a certain way now

should they all look the same like this?



how about these guys, they look okay?

[zonkers]

17. That arresting cop looks like Carrot Top!

[KurtNYC]

23. It's a wig? the headband and hair combo kind?

[classykaren]

47. Could they both be men dressed like women?

[snooper2]

49. LOL, no, I grew up in Missery, everyone is corn fed

[TeeYiYi]

26. Maybe they can...

...scare up some video of her making a purchase at a convenience store, for just in case...

TYY

[riqster]

3. Which protest was she at?

There was a pro-cop demo today too IIRC.

[951-Riverside]

7. ...

ST. LOUIS, Mo. (KMOV.com) --At least eight people were arrested, including a 90-year-old political activist, following a march in downtown St. Louis Monday afternoon. The marchers were protesting Governor Nixon's order to activate the National Guard.

The protesters, who chanted "National Guard has got to," marched from Kiener Plaza to the Wainwright building at 3:00 p.m. Monday. Governor Jay Nixon has an office in the building.

Eight arrests were made around 4:30. All of the suspects were arrested for failure to disperse. One of the people arrested was Hedy Epstein, a 90-year-old Holocaust survivor, who is now a political activist.

[riqster]

18. Thanks!

[cui bono]

14. Do you really think they would arrest someone at a pro-cop demo?

Really?

[riqster]

19. I was asking before reposting elsewhere.

Assumptions and all that.

[valerief]

4. They didn't rubber bullet her? Tase her? Pummel her senseless?

Things ARE improving!

[L0oniX]

9. Good thing the cops weren't tossing tear gas at the time.

To the idiot jury ...I say this because if I were her and they tossed tear gas it would bring back some real memories. I am sooo pissed about this.

[Glassunion]

56. Her hands were not up.

[Historic NY]

5. Must be dangerous...

[L0oniX]

8. What does AIPAC have to say about this?

[MindPilot]

10. I love that look on her face in the middle picture, confident & defiant.

Looks to me like she's thinking, "bring it, motherfuckers; I've lived shit you can't even imagine."

[janlyn]

11. +1, 000, 000

Funny I was watching cops on cnn telling people to move from a spot police themselves had ordered them to earlier. To another spot and then arresting people and journalists for standing still in the second spot they were ordered to, instead of marching.
And I said outloud " the police are acting like jack booted thugs. My god, they don't even care that the eyes of the country are on them.
So if that lady thinks it is an injustice, what happened, then the people of this country need to wake the hell up!!

[Amonester]

36. It's obvious they don't know the World is Watching and what they "look" like...

to the rest of the world...

Shame on them and all the so-called administrators who are "supposed" to command them...

SHAME!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

33. ^^^ this^^^

That look grabbed me, too.

[geardaddy]

41. +1 million

12. Local coverage with video

http://www.kmov.com/special-coverage-001/Protesters-march-against-Nixons-use-of-National-Guard-troops-in-downtown-271737361.html

And does her shirt say "STAY HUMAN" ?

[REP]

44. "Only human" no, looked again I think you're right

[RufusTFirefly]

15. Inspiring. Reminds me of this courageous lady from Occupy Seattle

She was a mere child though. Only 84 at the time.

[Politicalboi]

20. See, she's armed

With her cane. And how is that red hair and sweat band uniform? Perhaps rent a cop.

[951-Riverside]

22. Oh... They don't mind shooting elderly people with canes either

but this cop was REALLY sorry afterwards so its no big deal and he got to keep his job.

Afterall police officers are allowed to make life and death mistakes ...dangerous job ...it was night ...blah blah blah

[TeeYiYi]

25. What an idiot...

He fired at least 5 or six shots...maybe more. Unbelievable. He imagined a threat and then just went crazy with a barrage of bullets... That poor old guy. Plus, his wife kept wandering into the road while trying to figure out what had happened; I was afraid she was going to get hit by a car.

Awful video. Scary and sad. Shocking.

TYY

[Curmudgeoness]

43. Shit.

Thank god that cop was a piss-poor shot. With all the bullets he fired, that guy should have been dead.

I know that I have heard to stay in the car with yours hands on the steering wheel until asked to get your license, etc., but I never took it seriously that some cowboy cop would really think I was a threat.

[tblue37]

24. The articles I have seen say she is over 90--but wow, she sure looks

good for a 90+-year-old!

[Agony]

27. at least she wasn't strip searched?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=pct3vPeRrU8#t=479

A woman not afraid to stand up for her principles.

[blackspade]

32. They should be ashamed....

But fascists usually aren't...

[freshwest]

34. Kicking for solidarity... This is what we must see more of there.

[SoapBox]

35. The Police Militia don't give a crap...

About peace.

They Serve to Protect...their own.

[Uncle Joe]

37. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, Riverside.

[Tribalceltic]

38. I love her

[meti57b]

39. Cuffing her hands like that may be very painful. At 90yo, she probably has arthritis in her joints.

[Rex]

40. I hope every single Ferguson PD thug gets a pink slip.

Cops like the ones that work at the FPD make America suck. Now the entire world knows they are nothing but thugs with guns.

[life long demo]

42. God bless you Hedy

You are my voice.

[Enthusiast]

45. Kicked and recommended!

[athenasatanjesus]

46. Are they trying to dress the cops to be hipper and cooler?

[Marrah_G]

51. She does not look 90!!!!!!

Good for her

[Paladin]

52. So glad that Ms. Epstein is on our side.

A cause is known by the company it keeps, and Ms. Epstein is very good company indeed.

[proReality]

53. Bless you Hedy Epstein!!!
