Ieshia Evans, 28, was attending her first ever protest march in Baton Rouge yesterday when she was pictured in this iconic image being arrested by heavily armed police

Evans, who is the mother of a five-year-old son, had become 'overwhelmed with emotion' while watching the demonstrations and so had decided to travel from her home in New York to take part.

It's crazy to see how militarized our police forces have become. You'd think this is Fallujah, not Baton Rouge.

Reality bites.

 

[MantisToboggan]

Reality bites.

Ya. It's really going to bite when big government starts using this militarized police force to occupy our cities. Will be tough times for small government conservatives.

Hah.

Not going to happen. The citizens and the police won’t allow it.

I was joking, Dave. I don't actually believe that is going to happen. That said, still not a huge fan militarizing the police.

She's a nurse.

Why? Are you planning to go to war against them? I think the police should have every advantage imaginable when it comes to doing their job.

 

[Dave007inVegas]

She's a nurse.

She’s disillusioned.

That's wonderful that you feel that way. Unfortunately, it isn't exactly what the Founding Fathers had in mind.

Lol. For some reason righties here think that protesting means you don't have a job. Weird group of people.

 

[ScottL]

Well props to Shorty for at least getting herself done up nicely for her big moment. Well put together when placed next to the usual hippos exposing skin and jewelry piercing their nostrils at these soirees.

It works for me. As for the Founding Fathers, I don’t think they envisioned someone like Obama ever being elected president.

Actually, the way you see Obama is exactly the type of situation that the Foudning Fathers were trying to guard against.

Actually I think the Founding Fathers underestimated the stupidity of their fellow man.


I know I have. And the sad part is I keep expecting them to change but they never do. I know I not naïve, I’ve been around a fairly long time and experienced a lot. Maybe I can blame it poor potty training or some other liberal excuse.


But in reality, it is what it is and I can’t explain it.
