    There wasn’t even a bathroom law in Arizona. A bunch of men busted in there just to harass a lesbian.

      Who could’ve ever possibly imagined that this would happen?

      Oh anyone who can put two and two together…

      Whoa, that’s even crazier. Are police not beholden to law? If not, what exactly is law enforcement in the context of the executive branch of government?

        Sadly, in the US police officers aren’t required to actually know the law - https://www.mintpressnews.com/court-rules-police-dont-need-know-laws-enforce/217236/

          “What am I being arrested for?”

          “Doing stuff we don’t like without license.”

          Why rely on MintPress’ analysis of someone else’s take. Why not use their source?

        They’ve always considered themselves above the law.

      There wasn’t even a bathroom law in Arizona. A bunch of men busted in there just to harass a lesbian woman.

      Her sexuality is irrelevant. There are plenty of “butch” straight women.

        There’s a clear hierarchy to their hate. Trans > gay > cishet.

          Sure, but don’t let them use their bigotry to control narrative.

          There is no reason this person had to be an lesbian for this scenario. The bigots hear lesbian and think, no big deal, better safe than sorry, etc.

        Nah, suing the cops is an uphill battle, even when you have a good case. And even if you win the cops will see 0 repercussions. Anything you win will be payed for by the tax payer while the cops get to stay on the force and brutalize more citizens.
