Whoever it was that took that child from Ms. Headley should be fired, imo.

The more questions you ask the more knowledge is gathered
and the better informed you will be.
SS office is just as bad. They have former LEO doing the security. And they do expect disabled people to take off their shoes, and try to put em back on. On top of the threats they make, security Carry a firearm.

So the theory is ,get free $$$ ,het treated as a poor that can't afford a lawyer.

Amen. Any mother who would get in a fight with cops with a baby in her arms deserves everything she gets.
And I'm not talking about settlement money.

I hope they throw the book at her.

So if someone comes into your house beats you dog, steals your money and you shoot and kill him in the most violent of manner and rage, the authorities should forget everything and arrest you for the brutal and horrible murder of this unfortunate robber thief animal abuser?

It is unwise to let emotions become involved when trying to find the right in the wrong.
All evidence must be taken into account. Everything. Not just the things that disturb you.


By the way the person yanking on Ms.Headley's arm to secure the baby away from harm was a woman just like Jasmine.

It is a shame that in an office of such,they can not accept that some of their clients might come from a place of mental trauma.

Also,the clients may be discriminated upon appearance.

So when will this zoo like mentality end?

I read your first sentence three times to try to understand it, and IF I understood it correctly, my answer is "Of course", but I honestly don't understand the point you are making. I can't think of any way that what you wrote corresponds to what happened with Ms. Headley as I understand it. In any case, refusing to follow instructions is not even CLOSE to being the same as beating a dog or stealing money.

I confess that this entire incident is confusing to me, but I think the whole thing started because she refused to get up from the floor. Now, to me, that sounds like a pretty poor excuse for what happened after that. (And, btw, I do believe in following instructions and I am a supporter of the police, usually.) Also, although I very much love and value my dog and I value my money -- and I would be beyond furious if anyone hurt my dog -- I don't think that beating a dog and stealing money justifies a most "brutal and horrible murder", even though I might consider just shooting the robber and dog beater to be justified.

Second, it looked to me in the video that it was a man that was taking the baby away, but I could be wrong; and in any case, I said, "Whoever it was that took that child from Ms. Headley should be fired, imo." I did not indicate gender, but it looked to me that the child was being used like a rope in a tug-o-war between a male LEO and the mother.

In short, even IF Ms. Headley was in the wrong, I think the way this was handled was even MORE wrong. (But, then, I could be wrong, too, of course.) Anyway, I've had my say, so bye.
