A Rochester activist who tried to crash a city press conference amid protests over the police-involved death of Daniel Prude was told she was being locked up for “being an idiot,” according to a report.

Black Lives Matter organizer Stanley Martin, who is also a member of the group Free the People Roc, was among a group of activists who attempted to get into the city Public Safety Building where Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren was due to brief reporters about the unrest, WXXI-TV reported.

“No, no, stop it!” Martin shouted as a cop chased her out of the room.

“You want to get tased?” the officer responded. “All right, you’re going to get tased.”

The cop pointed a Taser at the activist but holstered it after others in the building urged him to do so.

“You’re arresting me for what?” Martin asked.

“Being an idiot,” the officer shot back.

“You’re a racist pig,” Martin answered.

It’s only a misdemeanor unless you bow up to the cop and go for his gun.

Unfortunately he’ll get fired and she’ll get several hundred thousand in a go fund me account. I always think it’s pretty hilarious when they say they pay the cops salary, not one of them have a job.

Lol, she was told that. Her booking paperwork did not reflect such a charge. She’s upset he used sarcastic words.

And she probably believed it and had no defense for it...
