See my final line. |
Unbelievable. I'm not a lawyer, and even I know that surrendering yourself to the authorities is still an arrest. |
Actually, anyone who knows what an arrest is would call that an arrest. Signed, person who is authorized to arrest people. |
Can you enlighten us who arrested him? Can you give me the police officer's name who arrested him? Don't tell me a form arrested him. |
Actually what is delusional is making a mountain out of a molehill. You yourself said there is no malicious intent, but suddenly what happens everyday in the metro is cause for battery and assault, all aimed at defaming a political figure you hate. |
| I have to admit that, although I detest Trumpadoodle, I really don't get what the BFD is in this case. Was she handled somewhat roughly, yes. Was it a case of battery with some intent to harm, meh. I just don't get why there is this degree of indignation over how this particular reporter was handled to get her away from Trumpadoodle. Definitely far, far les egregious than how anti-T protesters are handled... |
Do you think that Trump could have AVOIDED all of this with a simple apology. A diplomatic response would have been how crowded it gets and apologies if anyone was inadvertently jostled. My apology. That would have probably ended it. And if he had taken the presidential approach and reacted similarly to other events, he would have a reputation as presidential and a gentlemen. Instead, he has a reputation of being an egomaniac and a misogynist. For someone who's always touting how great he is, he sure is dumb. It was so, so simple to smooth this over. A one line sentence, done and over. |
I repeat: do you people listen to yourselves?
|
Yes. The process is called "self surrender". The arresting officer is the officer who signs the form. It's offered as a courtesy to some arrestees. |
I agree. The video shows that he was pulling her away from Trump. How does he not have the right to do that? It doesn't even look bad. It is a joke that this is being prosecuted. |
"How does he by have the right to do that?" Because you're not allowed to grab and pull people unless they present a threat of physical harm. She didn't. Unless he was law enforcement and she was failing to follow an instruction, then no one has a right to lay a hand on her. It is battery. Is it a significant enough case to warrant prosecution? I don't know. But he certainly doesn't have a right to do it. Does someone have a right to pull your arm when you're in their way at the grocery store? No. Keep your hands to yourself. |
"How does he not..." Is what I meant. Thumbs and phone. |
The officer signed the form. He didn't arrest anybody. |
Yes, sweetie, he did. Thus arresting him. Not every arrest looks like an episode of Cops. |
Um. Yes. He did. You don't understand what the word "arrest" means. You think it means handcuffs and being dragged into the police station. It doesn't. |
