    The cops may not want to pick on yuppies. They tend to be more sympathetic to the media and the public. Especially pretty young blond women.

    It is one thing to harass rednecks and ghetto types. But yuppies not only vote but they have lawyers and good press. This young woman could have been any young professional woman. It will backfire on the police.

    The yuppies want the lower classes "controlled". But see themselves as above the laws.

    Everyone is on the menu. Veterans, yuppies, feminists, homosexuals, out-of-shape millennials...

    Perhaps they are simply living up to the local standard? Maybe Hostess and Krispy Kreme were hoping to get lucky in lieu of supplying transportation, room, and board at taxpayer expense? Maybe they honestly do believe that jaywalkers/joggers represent a scourge to society great enough to warrant the allocation of resources which could otherwise be directed at combating such personages as burglars, rapists, murderers, armed robbers, or arsonists?

    You seem to forgot the political aspects. Yuppies vote, they are very articulate and often young and good looking. Thus they get good press. Not something that the mayor may want.

    Yes, the cops even look down their nose at the mayor. But the mayor does have the political power.

    BTW, once society stabilizes somewhat, the cops will have less reason to do what they are doing. But in an unstable society, the police are the last vestiges of morality.

    Good thing she wasn't in New Mexico, or they would have given her a colonoscopy for good measure.


    How about the officers just write her the ticket for jay-walking, exercise a little discretion (they don't appear to exercise much else), and let her go on her way?

    If I were the DA I would be wondering when the tort claim is going to be filed...

    The two portly arresting officers were finally getting some payback for all the times a good looking blonde chick didn't give them the time of day in high school.

    For many police departments you only have to pass it once, then it's game on at the buffet.

    Too bad that the police are not under military rules thus PT tests yearly and weight control.

    the big thing about police work, especially patrol, is that you are sitting down most of the day. Like a trucker or heavy equipment operators. Both of those fields are filled with overweight people.

    The world (and INGO) would implode if the police were under military rules. I don't think you really want that.
