That woman is an absolute legend
I wonder how much the tax payers will be paying this lady when she sues the shit out of the police.
The lack of professionalism here is astounding. If you, Mr Popo think that that member of the public is doing something arrestable, you don't get into a debate about "yaw kidz" and escalate a peaceful situation to a clusterfuck. Make the arrest in a professional way, and be done with it.
its easy to explain the costume to a child. she is dressed as the current president of the united states of america. The second and bigger dick president.
He demands to know how she could possibly justify such an obscene display: “I would like to hear how you would explain to my children what you’re supposed to be.”
uh, it's a costume of a dick. simple enough. now tell everyone how you explain to your kids that potus rapes children?
Uhhh children should be aware of human bodies and what parts they have. That guys Christian values are showing.
“Obscenity” is kinda meaningless when you have a president that raped children.
American police forces have never really considered the optics, have they? Or sociopolitical implications? Yeah, these are not in their vocabulary. (I don't know if the word "vocabulary" is in their vocabulary, it has too many syllables.)
Anyway, you need to think about the optics and sociopolitical implications before you rush headlong and grab a dick. This is common sense. Not to these officers, though, apparently.
You don't need to concern yourself with optics when:
- you investigate your own issues
- are almost never held accountable
- fabricate and/or "lose" evidence as needed
- when you are held accountable, you personally never pay
- never, EVER need to apologize
- and probably the most important.... nothing ever changes with the first 5.
“I would like to hear how you would explain to my children what you’re supposed to be.”
"I'm dressed up as the body part our president used to rape other children just like you!"
Alabama does have a statute concerning lewd behavior that might apply to this circumstance, so the officer might have some grounds. However, if I were a judge, I wouldn't want that in my court. I can see a prosecutor dismissing the case after holding her in jail the legal length of time before dropping charges.
Doesn't look like a penis.
That’s what Stormy Daniels said.
“I would like to hear how you would explain to my children what you’re supposed to be.”
Gamble was dressed “like a freakin’ weiner,” he says on the tape
There's your description, see was that so hard?
She replies, “Aunt Tifa.”
Oh no oh fuck they arrested the head of the Antifa. The organization is in shambles. Together with John Antifa they ran the entire antifas.
Not just the head, but also the shaft.
Just the tip of the organization.
The body camera footage tells a different story.
Every time. Every. Last. Time.
I don't think we should arrest people at all until body cam footage comes out, it's insane how often they lie
We need repurcussions for lying. We need repurcussions for when people are arrested and charges are dropped.
Cops should need to think twice before arresting anyone.
Arresting and charging without footage is fine.
We shouldn't convict anyone nor should there be a trial until all the footage comes out.
But poor people end up spending days or weeks behind bars after being accused of assaulting officers and it's wrong
Oh I absolutely agree. If we're talking about minor things like this they should be booked and released. Unless they are a direct threat to the public they should not be held for more than the time it takes to get their identification, alert them of the charges, and release them.
The trial and convictions should never even start until the body cam is released. That should be released before the first pre-trial date is even scheduled.
Basically, if I am arrested and charged for disorderly, I won't even be scheduled for a pre-trial court date until prosecution has full unedited body cam footage of my arrest. If they cannot be produced in the time it takes for my pre-trial date with a judge, charges are automatically dismissed without prejudice.
If we’re talking about minor things like this they should be booked and released.
Disagree, this person should've been given a high five and bought a drink.
Again, 100% agree. That cop should have been rushed by the 15-25 protesters around her and made to actually fear for his fucking life. He apparently feels so safe and confident that he can assault a grandmother in a dick costume, knowing that him completely by himself won't see any harm come to him.
He can harm others knowing the two dozen people around him won't harm him.
Alas... Everyone stood by and let her get arrested. And because of that she shouldn't see a court until the completely unredacted body cam footage is publicly available.
“I’m serious as a heart attack,” he tells Gamble when the audio begins to play on the 14-minute body camera video. “I’m not gonna sit here and argue with you.”
The subtle ageism is a nice touch for the pearl-clutching police.
How many of those cops had ‘Fuck Biden’ flags on their house or bumper stickers on their cars?
All of them.
You can rape children and still be the president, but don't you dare wear a costume and exercise your free speech!!
as he peels off the penis suit, asks Gamble for her name.
She replies, “Aunt Tifa.”
Perfect response. Okay, that lady is a baller (and, apparently, a penis).
Literal big dick energy
Must be related to "Democracy Manifest" guy... in both cases, the officers were not prepared to receive a limp penis.

Does “Aunt Tifa.” have a gofundme yet?
oh look another coward cop who clutches pearls at having to explain what a penis is to their children.
How dare she make him talk to his children.
Explaining genitals to children makes is significantly harder to molest them. Can't have that happening.

She doesn't owe him any explanation regarding her costume.
This could not be more ridiculous. Pedophelia and sex trafficking are literally being normalized to levels of "locker room talk" in 2026. Nobody is facing justice. We're basically just legalizing pedophelia for the wealthy, which apparently we've always done, we just have to accept it as official now. And maybe that was the point of Trump focusing so much attention on pedophiles in the first place?
However, a grandmother wearing an inflatable penis costume to protest captain pedophile while he holds the highest office in the United States is the real danger to children. Got it.
Straight to jail with you granny.
This could not be more ridiculous. Pedophelia and sex trafficking are literally being normalized to levels of “locker room talk” in 2026.
I remember when Lumpty Trumpty was running the first time and the "grab them by the pussy" tape came out. I was talking to a colleague who was like "it's just locker room talk". I was like "Uh, that's advocating for sexual assault."

In the photo she is clearly dressed as a cop - how could he not recognize this?

“I’m serious as a heart attack,” he tells Gamble when the audio begins to play on the 14-minute body camera video.
You're exactly right. Just like a heart attack is a sign that a person is in distress and dying, people like you are a sign that our government is in distress and dying.
“I’m not gonna sit here and argue with you.”
Typical statement from a person who shouldn't ever be allowed authority over others.
“I would like to hear how you would explain to my children what you’re supposed to be.”
They're your shitty children. It's your job to prepare them for the real world, not mine. If you can't figure out how to explain something like this to them, then you probably shouldn't have children......
But I'm guessing you haven't done much to raise them yourself. Someone like you who bludgeons people with authority probably leaves the actual parenting to someone else, and only makes yourself known at home through violence.
Right! What's more concerning? A giant Weiner or somebody tackling grandma? My family all thinks farts and Weiner's are hilarious because they are. We immature, sure but who wants to be mature when that means you tackle grandma?

She says her name is Aunt Tifa? I will struggle my entire like to achieve that level of facetious. She is a legend
“This type of behavior or display is not acceptable and will not be tolerated in Fairhope,” Mayor Sherry Sullivan told reporters. “Protests should remain peaceful and free of profanity and obscene displays.”
Fairly sure profanity and obscene displays means anything the Government doesn't like.
Fuck him. First amendment says I can be as obscene and as profane as I want. Especially since it is being used for a political protest.
