Here's why some people think a Camrose dentist's arrest was 'contempt of cop'

Maybe contempt of cop is on the rise, but I think what's also changed is that previously we didn't really worry about a cop roughing up somebody who gave them lip, and we didn't have the dash cams to show what happened.

Seems to me that this case is being reported differently now than when it happened. If I remember right, at the time she was portrayed as having attacked the cop for no reason.

I think that is definitely part of it, plus the public are seeing the hypocritical attitude of police when compared to Jo public.

I guess that when someone considers cops, firefighters, doctors, teachers, nurses, etc. as public servants they're really only interested in the "servant" part of it. As in the psychopathic level of arrogance along the lines of "I'm paying your salary therefore I can treat you as shitty as I want", like when you're pulled over by a cop you can automatically go into mega-asshole mode and start treating the cop like he's some doofus waiter in a restaurant.

This is the world we've made. What a time to be alive.

Well, you've convinced me. From now on, everytime someone is pulled over for speeding, they should get a good beating because the big muscular Sheriff might be unable to stand the hurtful words.



Perhaps one day they will even make it illegal to say hurtful things to civil servants, and that will will be part of the punishment.

Strange way of thinking that it's OK to be an asshole to a waiter but not a cop. You get many dates?

If you can't keep your cool when people are being rude to you, you probably should not be carrying a gun and may want to choose the priesthood rather than police as a vocation. Personally I've always been very clear that cop has the power if he pulls me over, so there's no point being an idiot, and I have enough control of myself not to be one. But not everybody does, I guess we all reach our limits at some point. Cops should be able to deal with that in a professional manner. What if the person turns out of have mental problems?

I never said it was OK in either case. But the punishment for it is not having your head bounced off the pavement.



From the article:

I was directing my comment at Thanos. Should have been clear from the context.

It is, until it's not.

Watch the video of the stupid twat spazzing out like a rabid cat for a full ten minutes before you say anything. If anything she's lucky the cop didn't taze or pepper spray her because every single one of her actions on that recording showed she would have deserved it. The injuries came from her falling down thanks to her acting like a rabid cat every time the officer loosened his grip on her. He didn't toss her, he didn't smash her face into the trunk of the car or the ground, and he didn't stomp on her face with his boot. Her damn injuries are entirely her own fault and if anyone can't see that clearly and plainly then they're living in a world where the sky is a different colour than the one that's above the rest of us.

Well we all know liberals see the world differently than you righties do. The judge must be one of progtards.

Won't watch video, goes into auto-hate mode because a cop is involved. Just another average day for the left again.

It's nice to see the visually and cognitively challenged have the opportunity to sit on the bench. The fact that she lied about what happened, as demonstrated by the video - reaching into the car and smashing her cellphone and sexually assaulting her, doesn't seem to mean anything either.

As a labour economist, this line of thinking has always frustrated me. I'm not sure how that train of thought got going. "I pay taxes, you work for the government, therefore I pay your salary, therefore you work for me", I guess was the children's logic. But it's bullshit. We all pay each others' salaries. That's how an economy works. You don't pay any more of a public workers' salary than you pay a private workers' salary, and vice-versa, a public worker pays just as much of your salary as you pay of theirs.

Here's a helpful thing to keep in mind: if you don't have the authority to fire someone, then they don't work for you.

Not that I could ever get more disappointed in the CBC but I'm actually surprised they would choose the arrest of this silly little bitch as the one to hang their entire anti-police agenda on. She fell down on her face in the gravel by the side of the road entire because of her own actions. This was about as far from the Rodney King beating as a speeding/dangerous driving arrest can get.

Cop crucified. Shithead entirely responsible for the whole situation even occurring gets turned into another martyr by a mentality that now says those who behave the worst have the most rights of all. Be nice if the haters could leave high school behind and realize that being an adult means not acting like a fool all the time, that it's actually the main part of the unwritten civil and social contract we're all obligated to live up. Just because some people had a negative experience from the school resource officer while they were doing blunts outside the smoking doors by the student's parking lot doesn't entitle them to have a lifelong grudge against the people who try to protect everyone else from the dumbfucks that keep dragging everything down into the muck with them.
