    I was 100% assuming she was arrested. Very relieving that’s not what happened.

      Yeah, it’s messed up that nearly everyone from the US would read that headline and make the same assumption without batting an eye because we’ve been conditioned to expect nothing else from police. It sure would be nice if we lived in a country where policing was actually a civil service and not a damn street gang.

        The cases you hear in the media are the ones that provoke outrage.

        On a day to day basis the police have hundreds of interactions with the public that aren’t remarkable or noteworthy.
