70 year old woman arrested for not watering lawn

[CptStern]

"...And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
Over the land of the free and the home of the brave!

A 70-year-old US woman has been left bruised and bloody after an unexpected clash with police who came to caution her for not watering her lawn.

Trouble flared when Utah pensioner Betty Perry, 70, refused to give her name after being upbraided because her garden breached local regulations.

She says the officer hit her with handcuffs, cutting her nose, although police insist she slipped and fell.

She denied accusations she was resisting arrest, maintaining that she only turned to go inside to call her son to fix the confusing dispute.

"I tried to sit down and get away from him [the police officer]," she told Utah newspaper the Daily Herald.

"I don't know what he's doing. I said: 'What are you doing?' And he hit me with those handcuffs in my face," she said.

"He's just trying to cover his tracks, as far as I'm concerned."

I blame a bad youth. The woman's youth of course, what is she even thinking not watering the lawn? Didn't the parents teach that bitch anything?

 

[CptStern]

they had parents back then? pretty sure parents are a recent invention



actually I'm surprised they didnt pull a Rodney King on her insolent ass ..the nerve talking back to a public servant paid with public money ..doesnt she know he works for the man? I would have pistol whipped her or at the very least used a baton + phone book ...police state ftmw

I'm sure they could figure out whether the cut came from a handcuff or the floor simply by observing it, right?

Whoa, guess this happened in Orem, right where I live.

It's a running joke around here that cops will over react, or call back up for the smallest things. Mostly because, nothing really happens here. You get pulled over here (Utah County) for speeding or what not, expect the officer to call in back up.

thats harder to do then you would think, sure you would have yellow water at first but it will clear up quick. I would recommend a feed system, but then you run into the trouble of hiding it. you don't want to puncture the hose with a feed line because it would be to easily spotted, but then again, connecting it via the pipes is even harder. you would have to have knowldege of the grounds piping, access to the water main, somehow hide the feed by the spicket that has said hose(depending on the type of wall will depend on how difficult it will be), is the piping in the basement? crawl space? it can get pretty hard to work out all the details and pull it off without getting caught.

Then I'll just knock them out and piss on them. Problem solved.

Once again, justice is served.

When it's not happening to me, I root for the boys in blue. When they are after me, it's '**** the police.'

Good job boys, cuff that old bag up and put her where she belongs.
