Okay, now, w t f...

Did the camera person set up the cat and kittens with the dog guy just to film the cat's attack?

Was the camera person just there waiting for something to happen with the cats?

Why did the dog guy first start to enter the street then go back up to the sidewalk?

So much nonsensical business with this video it's hard to concentrate on the mama cat's attack.

Wow, I really wonder what was going on in that woman's head.

Even the article didn't help very much; and it even brought up more questions related to her arrest/charges...

I wonder if the police had yet to have see this video to use as evidence against her and had no real idea as to what happened in the accident (as the witnesses may not have helped them very much in piecing everything together; it made me wonder if this driver of the video taken stayed around for the police or merely went on their merry way and uploaded this later in the day). So they charged her with DUI, but the tests came back inconclusive so they had to release her.

Because from watching this video I can think of at least three to four charges they could arrest her with. So I'm assuming as I mentioned above that they merely slapped her with DUI and hadn't seen this yet, so they hadn't charged her with anything else as of yet; otherwise she would still be arrested. So I imagine she will be getting picked back up pretty soon. I'd love to know what the real cause was.

I'm guessing it was one of two things: high as a kite or a medical condition; I'm not entirely sure that this would be an alcohol related issue. But I have seen drunk people do some very weird things before. This however looks like she didn't care about parking the car or she "thought" that she had. Then she went to the sidewalk for whatever reason that compelled her to get out in the first place; perhaps a delusion or psychotic event--or something akin to it.

Those minimum speed laws are only on highways and freeways in most places, not congested city streets.
As was mentioned above, riding on the sidewalk IS illegal in most places.
Sorry, but that is the law, and it's the law for a reason. You should never be held up for more than a block. If it's still too inconvenient, you could petition your local government to create bike lanes to fix the issue. Until then, the roads must be shared with all vehicles allowed to use it. (Where I live, people actually ride bicycles on the freeway!)

Agreed (definitely)..........also, he broke the law himself when he rode on the pavement (sidewalk to our American cousins) at the end of the video.

I found a quarter the other day . . . that's pretty exciting, right? I mean, 25 cents and everything. It had Washington on it, so it might be really old. It was just right there on the sidewalk, didn't even need SCUBA gear or anything. Bent over and picked it right up. Yup, a quarter. Daaaaaaamn, 25 cents!

So I guess people like Rosa Parks were also tools? Perhaps Alice Paul was a tool for standing up for the rights of women to vote? I suppose Mahatma Gandhi was a tool for resisting British oppression and rule?

This is what you cannot seem to grasp, although I will try in the most basic method to explain it to you. Rights = GOOD, Oppression = BAD. Now, what does this mean? It means you have rights that are expected to be yours in a civilized society.

For instance, lets say you were Hispanic and in Arizona. Due to the fact that the Supreme Court allowed portions of SB1070, the 'paper's, please' law to remain in effect, you can be forced as a Hispanic to provide clear proof that you are a citizen in any situation as long as the officer has a reason to suspect that you might be an illegal immigrant.

The reasonable suspicion is entirely at the discretion of the officer, an individual who is not in any way psychic or specifically trained to spot 'illegal immigrants'. So let's say you are wearing a shirt that says Viva La Raza, just a saying that means you are proud of your race. If I was an officer, I could claim that you wearing a shirt with Spanish on it and being Hispanic could mean that you are illegally here. Ludicrous, I know, but I could claim it and get away with it the way the law is worded. I could stop you in the middle of the sidewalk, force you to submit to an ID request, and question you at the bare minimum. I could say a bulge in your pocket looked like drug paraphernalia and that you smelled of drugs, leading to a body search.

Now let me ask you, even if you were perfectly innocent, had no drugs, were not illegal, and were minding your own business, would this not piss you off? Assuming it didn't that one time, would you get pissed off when it happened over and over?

Look, I'm Caucasian and a male, and even I know that stuff like this is horseshit. At a certain point, if you don't stand up or support the ones who do, then when they come for you there won't be anyone left to help.

If you can't get the point and still feel the way you say, I feel sorry for you. Thankfully others do and even though you think they are tools, they will take the fall so you can continue to live your delusions.

You remind me of the time my grandmother, at 91 years old, was walking her small dog on Memorial Drive in Houston (MAJOR street, up to hundreds of cars per minute). She tripped on a crack in the sidewalk and fell hard on her face, smashing it badly and knocking out some teeth. She ended up crawling well over 2 blocks on hands and knees in full view of the street (no bushes or trees obstructing the view), bleeding profusely down her face, and not a single car stopped to help. That was over 6 years ago, and it still boils my blood that so many people are so uncaring/unhelpful, and it makes me think these are likely the same people that beg for help at the slightest discomfort in their own lives.
Sometimes I just hate humans.

I'm pleased for you. My experience has differed. I was charged at 16, and again at 18, for minor personal amounts, well under a gram the first time.
I also have had 18 cops surround my car to drag a single meek 90 lb 16 year old kid off to jail for .2 grams of weed in his back pack (about 1 bong hit of dust) in California... and he was in for 4 months (his parents insisted). They had to search SO hard to find anything to get him for, they were obviously intent on taking him. (Oddly, they let me go on my way with 3 bongs, 5 pipes, and 15 empty schnapps bottles in my car....I was 17.)
I've also been ticketed for drawing a 4" long line of sidewalk chalk on a sidewalk. That cost over $200, for using the product as intended in front of my own home.
My brother, on the other hand, had a 16th birthday party with 300 kids and 12 kegs, and my dad hired the Houston police as 'security' to 1.stop drunks from driving away and 2. stop other cops from busting the party (that's how it was done in the 80's, pay them and they look the other way...probably still applies)
It's nice to hear about reasonable cops existing, I just seem to not run into any.

To add to what arghness has said, regardless of the job if one of my employees did this did this to anyone at work at work I'd sure as hell fire them.

This guy's job is to make life and death decisions with that weapon he's got. If he can be riled to the extent he obviously was by some random woman on the sidewalk then he needs to be taken out of that situation.

As for all the 'one bad apple' claims, I've seen plenty of videos of these one bad apples, but I've never seen a single one where any of the other, apparently 'good' cops steps in to stop the bad one. If it's just the guy doing the smashing who's the bad one and every other cop there is a good guy, why does the bad guy feel so comfortable doing what he did? Why do the other cops cheer in support?

If it's a few bad cops then all of these cases would be acted upon and prosecuted. The fact that they aren't shows that all the other guys are implicit in the act. They allow it to continue. There are clearly enough bad apples that they're running the show and the good apples don't get the support they need if/when they show their colours.

Right at 4.9 seconds it appears as though a hand pulls away from the other side of the sidewalk.

I'm guessing thrown thru.

Why did they set up the camera? Why did she stand way over to the side? Yes, it's clear there was someone there throwing the people through.

Color me disappointed.

Sure they're making a statement, but they're not really causing any change.

From the looks of it there's no indication where it connects with the road that it's actually a sidewalk, and the people who they stopped will surely go through there again when the blockade isn't present.

I don't know. I feel like their gripe should be with the local municipality or whoever can put up signs or barricades or anything to help make it clear it's a sidewalk and not a road.

Stand on either end of the spike strip with signs that say "driving on the sidewalk is dangerous!!"

Yes, it's like the sidewalk-chalk illustrations that are amazing technical feats from the right angle, but look nearly indecipherable from any other.

I prefer it this way, in a lesser-of-two-evils sense. It's an attraction to a specific location for the people entering the room from a specific direction. The alternative would ultimately be to unnerve the players playing, and understanding that casinos are already sucker-traps I wouldn't be able to see it as anything other than a psychological toy to screw your customers up further.

As is with JFL, for every 20 gags like this, you get the one where the stooges walked under the sidewalk-covering scaffolding, getting to the end, where JFL put up plate glass and threw a bucket of water at them.

It's not entertainment any more than digging oysters is jewelry manufacturing.
