In Milwaukee not agreeing with police fantasies is a good way to get in jail. Even if you are a 75 year old woman.
The setup: Joy McFarlin was driving her pickup truck when a car ran a red light and T-boned her. With her driver side door impassable and dangerous she tried to get out through the passenger door and was eventually able to with the help of a man who then drove away.
Then the cops showed up. They decided that she hadn't really been driving her truck. They seemed to reason that she only would have escaped through the passenger door if she was in that seat.
She kept telling them what happened even at the hospital and the cops decided that they were not going to put up with anymore of this piddling little woman not agreeing with their entirely concocted story that some fictitious "black man" had been driving. They took her into custody. Then eventually had to release her when someone reminded them that courts don't like convicting old women for the crime of "not showing complete deference and submission to bully cops."
Sgt. Timothy Gauerke of the Milwaukee Police even explained that they gave the old woman they arrested for no reason "a break" for not putting her in a stressful position while handcuffed.
He then explained that, “She stuck with her story and that’s why she was arrested.”
Remember folks, when the cops decide something you had better agree even if it requires suspension of reality.
