    “Are you fucking kidding me?” she responds. “Act like a lady?” “There you go,” the police officer says. “Now you can go to jail.”https://boingboing.net/2018/08/29/act-like-a-lady-denver-po.html …

        but if you tell them to act like a professional law enforcement officer, you will get a felony.

        They cited HIPAA? That's one of the stupidest things I've ever heard representative of the law say. Do they really believe that or do they think everyone else is an idiot? Also, they obviously got off on roughing her up unnecessarily, knowing they could get away with it.

        Question: HIPAA? Isn't that about health insurance and safekeeping of private information in that context? How would a police officer ever cite HIPAA in a relevant context? I am confused.

        They made up official sounding bullshit to give them an excuse if someone tried to sue the department. It works. Because we valorize cops and protect cops from consequences.

        The cynic is me says the reasoning goes something like "well, the courts haven't definitively told us that we can't use HIPAA, so we will cite that so we have grounds for qualified immunity if sued"

        I've rebranded your cynic into a realist. This is exactly what they were doing.

        I've ALWAYS respected police officers, I have family that are cops. But, since Trump became President, it seems they think they can do as they please!! It gets harder and harder with each video!!

        It's ridiculous that they think it's ok to act this way!! Now they think they can treat the press anyway they want because Trump calls them enemy of the people!!! They should be nervous because when people have had enough, they revolt!!

        Ah yes, the "expert" men who know how women should act, in their fantasy world. Because women don't have the "feminine" experience these cops have. There are so many of these "experts", I wonder what university they learn all of this.
