The first rule of tyranny. "You are not allowed to criticize the government. ..

[kolar]

Those commissioners are guilty of official misconduct and false reporting for making the call to police.

[gothesouthway]

It disturbing how cops are to enforce the law yet they don't know the difference between right and wrong.

[mrexon]

I don’t care what party she sides on, that was just wrong and who ever pulled the trigger on that arrest should be schooled

[arroe]

The sheriff and his deputies should be ashamed of themselves. He should immediately resign or be removed from office.

Camera is off?!? A Red Flag, he knew what he was doing is illegal and in fact unconstitutional.
He knew beforehand and still did it? Premeditation.

[jillgott]

Fact they did not have body cams on during an arrest in public or not is extremely disturbing. She has a great case against the sherriff, other commissioners, deputies, town and country for false arrest.

The cops should be charged. As long as they get to keep violating rights without facing charges they will continue to do it.

If they are not held to the law and the sherriff doesn't get arrested for violating her constitutional rights...then the law enforcement is above any laws

[mikey.]

Police officers and military enlisted are not required to follow unlawful orders

[nunya]

Everyone involved in her arrest need to be investigated for corruption.

[dcsblessedbees]

She needs to SUE that county into oblivion.

[charliekowittmusic]

How do you purposefully turn your bodycam off while making an unlawful arrest, and not face any consequences for that???

[missyboyd-morris]

And who's going to carry the cost for her lawsuit! Definitely not the sheriff?

[warrenmoore]

How quickly they attacked her for questioning a serious problem and proving the problem by arresting her.

[colleenthompson]

The people who called the cops should be arrested and the cops who arrested her should be held accountable also as they should know they were wrong!!! What is going on with people these days???? Just crazy!!!

[jimwile]

I love how the police were perfectly happy to arrest her. What a bunch of Nazis.

[KazooieX]

Freedom of speech is meant to be challenging and often offensive. And it's 100% protected constitutional right.

[desiv]

OMG, there are Sheriffs who don't actually care about or understand constitutional rights?
I am shocked!
Shocked I say!!!

[hickoryoaks]

So corrupt it’s criminal. Those deputies who arrested her should be placed under arrest immediately.
