        Excellent! Now all we need now is a couple police(women) and security guards to lose their jobs. If any of us behaved like that at work, in the name of solving a problem, we would be fired.

        I’m not a particularly litigious person but I hope she sues, not only for reasonable monetary compensation but because it appears to be the only way to get some transparent accountability from law enforcement when they err this badly.

        Sad and scary part about this is that it hap pi ens too frequently with no video account or accountability on public/fed employees.

        She needs to be with her baby asap, and baby needs it too. I can't even imagine as a mother having my baby taken from me.

        Now here is a thought, the officers that were trying to block people from recording obviously knew that was something wrong like "criminal" that their fellow officers were committing. Maybe one of them should have acted like law enforcers instead of enablers? Just a thought.

        One of the major problems with our criminal and policing problems starts with their training and the supposedly fictional #blueline . This case could be reviewed by officials to try and fix the situation. But what they will see is a person not obeying orders and resisting.

        They will not see how the situation could have better handled. They will not see what 5 or 6 officers not able to calmly talk down a situation. "Either comply or we will use extreme force!" Any one can be detained even if there is no crime then if you resist this is the result
