I disagree that she did nothing wrong. If one of those cops was allergic, she could have killed them. They did claim one was and she responded “good”. Just like we say that cops are wrong for escalating and causing the death of people for minor offenses, the same is wrong here. And this was premeditated. The crime the cops were potentially(I don’t know the back story) committing does not fit the punishment. Plus she could have gotten herself killed. The fact that they didn’t shoot her implies these may even have been some of the few cops that show some restraint. If it had been ICE they would have opened fire immediately. So at the very least, potential getting killed would make what she did wrong.
The real crime lies with the judge who signed off on the eviction. The cops likely had no idea of the background of the person they were evicting when they showed up.
There are surely better ways to attempt to obstruct an eviction.
ICE has killed people because they were doing what I consider to be the right thing. You can’t determine what is right and wrong based on whether a cop might kill you for doing it.
If you read what I said. Putting herself in a position where the cops might kill her is what I said was wrong. Don’t give them an easy excuse. And don’t act like them and escalate. There are other ways to be an obstruction that if they do kill you will make bigger headlines and probably save your friend.
I’m not going to poopoo on people for attempting to do the right thing in the moment. Obviously nobody died. Obviously the entire chain of events on the legal side from the landlord to the lawyers to the judges to the law enforcement doing the dirty work all stinks.
I don’t think there’s any point to sending this woman to jail, she obviously did what she could to disrupt the banality of evil going on. If the cop had died she would have seen bigger charges but imo this kind of pushback is necessary so that law enforcement IS afraid to do evil things.
Meh. Lot of handwringing for the cops, but where’s the handwringing for the cancer patient? Who’s to say the patient wasn’t immunocompromised, and that going outdoors could be a death sentence?
If one of those cops was allergic, she could have killed them.
I have more sympathy for the bee that dies because to sting is fatal. The loss of a pollinator is a loss for the world, the loss of a cop is… meh, some other asshole will sign up for the badge.

Oh, got it. I did misunderstand you. Thank you for the clarification.

“Won’t somebody think of the poor cops abusing civilians for their epstein class overlords”

If you think cops aren’t absolutely giddy at the thought of using violence against anyone and everyone, then I have a bridge to sell you.
Enforcing eviction noticed isn’t a “minor offense”.
Landlords deserve the woodchipper.
