re: Pregnant Woman Slammed to Ground and Arrested for Refusing to Give Her Name

Because then someone who likely has averageish intelligence with a great deal of power is in a position to lose their cool and overreact, like what happened. I've already said I'm not defending the cops actions, he's in the wrong.

But once again, this whole thing doesn't happen if she just says what her NAME is. I mean it's a frickin name. Does she feel her rights have been so mightily trampled upon by telling him what her name is? One of the 2 women in this situation was calm and answered the cops questions, it was also the woman that didn't create a confrontation and was free to enjoy the rest of her day wtih no issues.
