The last time a police officer asked me for my name, I told him and nothing happened - huh?

I don't think it is a stretch to say that how you are treated by a law officer has some relationship to how you respond.

If you speak to me and I answer WTH do you want you SOB, chances are you will be answered less friendly

The simple fact that the judge threw all charges against her is proof that the officers were in the wrong.

No crime was committed, and this woman was tackled for no other reason than she refused to give her name.

This is why we have the 4th amendment. Unless she was being suspected of committing a crime, there was no reason to seize or search her.

If someone tries to grab me just because I don't give my name, you bet i'm resisting as well.

And besides, really? 2 manly men taking an 8 months pregnant woman to the ground?

Each situation is different and a brief glimpse of a few minutes of a situation doesn't tell the whole story so who can say?
