Abuse of power? Hardly. Is it your position that someone should be allowed to throw away whatever they want wherever they want? And if not, where would you like to draw the line?
Is dumping a beverage on the floor cool with you? Can I do it at your house? Just a little puddle on the living room floor? How about on a supermarket isle? Is that good in your book?
You don't get to do whatever you want and then walk away. Had it been an accident that's one thing, but she deliberately dumped it. She even shook it to make sure she got the last drops.
No she behaved like a ...... But being a ..... should not get you detained for 10 minutes and be swarmed by 5+ LEO's and other arm-band wearing guys "just following orders"
The correct thing to have done in this case is for the LEO to have said "Ma'am that's not a nice thing to have done. Have a nice day"
That's it. No arm grabbing. No public application of discipline. Did this airport get moved to Saudi Arabia and they forgot to tell us?? What is the point of forcing her to clean up the freedom water on the floor??? Please. The LEO was simply on a power trip. I hope they get sued for millions. This woman with a baby and member of the secret service is going to make a fantastic plaintiff.
