Quote: "I’ve heard that she is okay. I’m not at liberty to say more than that, or to say where I heard it from. I don’t know why they went after her." I've worked with police all my life, and there are a few I'd run from even if I am as pure as the driven snow, in my right mind and completely innocent.:^) We don't know why she ran, why she was arrested or what has happened to her since.

Why did she run? I've had one or two police officers approach me in my lifetime, but I've never felt the need to run from them. It's got me wondering what information we don't have yet.

Either way, it doesn't change that she got body-slammed into a concrete sidewalk.
