16. She ASKED to be arrested. It is on the video.

Singled out my ass. She could have avoided the whole issue if she had just listened to the officer and walked away. Unlike with people of color, there would have been (and there was) no rough handling, tasing, cursing, or anything like that. She turned around and offered her hands to the officer, likely thinking that he wouldn't do anything.

THIS is false entitlement. Parks have operating hours and can be opened or closed by the authority of the municipality. People caught in the park after operating hours who refuse to leave when asked, are trespassing. They planned to do this and did this thinking they were like Rosa Parks, but they are just entitled assholes.

The protesters at the jail are also assholes. "Let our children play" idiots. You think I don't want my kids going to the park? You think they don't miss being able to play with their friends. We are all suffering, but were are doing so in order to NOT KILL people by spreading a virus for which we have no immunity, vaccine, or treatment!
