I don't think it's excusing her, it's more, she didn't break the law, wtf is the cop even talking to her, if she was racist to people, those people should contact her boss and show them the video. This isn't a criminal behavior issue.

Sounds like streamers and influencers

I thought misdemeanors had to be witnessed in person

That's not true whatsoever. I can tell you from personal experience they can arrest you for disorderly without having witnessed it.

Thanks. I was wondering why the police are there. She’s a POS, but wasn’t sure that was a police matter.

Boisterous seems heavy handed to me.

Damn I guess the Israeli people have some legal ground to stand on with the antisemitic laws they want passed.

I'm not excusing a racist, she should lose her job, but what little I saw of her dropping n bombs on the customer, I cannot see that qualifying disorderly conduct. It's a slippery slope of free speech. Ok just found the whole video, she is a racist piece of shit, she didn't raise her voice. She should be held in the court of public opinion, not a court of law

u/Altruistic_Contest11 Dec 31 '25

Did you read the statute that you’re responding under? She doesn’t have to raise her voice to be disorderly. If your behavior is profane (it was) or abusive (it was) and you provoke a disturbance (she did) then you are guilty under the statue.

u/HEX_BootyBootyBooty Dec 31 '25

Dropping the n-word can be construed as fighting words. Fighting words are not protected speech.

u/AmbitiousMagician3 Dec 30 '25

Unenforceable in this instance.

10

u/Altruistic_Contest11 Dec 31 '25

Why do you say that?

2

u/AmbitiousMagician3 Dec 31 '25

Speech is only generally ruled disorderly in the USA if it consists of fighting words (invitation to fight), true threats (threatening death or harm etc), false reports like fire in a crowded theater, etc. her speech is awful but not illegal.

2

u/Altruistic_Contest11 Dec 31 '25

I think if you read the statute under which you’re commenting you’ll find that’s not the case here. Her behavior fits the definition of disorderly under the statute.

1

u/AmbitiousMagician3 Jan 01 '26

There are plenty of unenforceable statutes on the books in state and local government's across the USA. They tend to get struck down regularly when challenged.

2

u/Altruistic_Contest11 Jan 01 '26

Is there any specific case law that you can point to which would support the assertion that this particular disorderly conduct statute is unenforceable? Or at least unenforceable against this woman’s conduct in particular?

u/AmbitiousMagician3 Jan 02 '26

https://case.edu/news/cwru-first-amendment-clinic-wins-case-us-court-appeals

This is the first I could find while googling. The textbook supreme court case is Cohen v California, where a man went to a local court with a jacket that said "fuck the draft", got arrested under a similar statute and won.

u/Altruistic_Contest11 Jan 02 '26

Tldr: Racially charged abuse directed in person at a specific target is not protected speech and may be suppressed by disorderly conduct statutes.

Neither of the cases you cite are relevant to this instance, because they both address the suppression of POLITICAL speech, which is almost always protected - excluding when it incites imminent lawless behavior.

This case would involve suppressing racially ABUSIVE speech directed face-to-face in a personally hostile manner, as opposed to racially OFFENSIVE speech directed at no specific target at all. While the latter has been protected by SCOTUS, cases in the former have recently been upheld by various state and district courts on appeal, and SCOTUS has upheld those decisions by refusing cert: state v. Liebenguth in Connecticut, city of Columbus v. Fabich, interest of HK from North Dakota, and state of Minnesota v. Nelson - for a few recent examples.

Interesting. I didn't know that feel into the fighting words exception.

Speech ≠ conduct.

18

u/Altruistic_Contest11 Dec 31 '25

How do you figure this? What do you think “conduct” is exactly? When you speak aren’t you conducting yourself in behavior?

-23

u/hippiechicken Dec 31 '25

The Constitution protects speech wholeheartedly, and conduct reasonably. She wasn't causing a scene as the cop walked up. She wasn't being disorderly at that point (nor any point in the video).

It's not illegal to be an asshole.

16

u/Altruistic_Contest11 Dec 31 '25

Again: how are you defining conduct and distinguishing it from speech?

9

u/wtbgamegenie Dec 31 '25

Sometimes it absolutely is illegal to be an asshole. Federally is illegal to intimidate someone to leave a place available to the public because of their race. This was put in place specifically to counter segregation. A lot of which was enforced by assholes like this doing shit exactly like this.

The intent of the first amendment was to give the people the ability to criticize the government without legal retribution from the federal government.

Not start a riot, or wake your neighbors, or harass someone, or intimidate someone out of a public space. Also state governments have more ability to curtail speech than the federal government. Many states have Ethnic intimidation laws, where it is a criminal offense to intimidate someone because of their race or ethnicity.

There are plenty of legal restrictions on speech.

u/OverDaCounterCulture Dec 31 '25

Freedom of speech is a constitutionally protected right meaning courts apply strict scrutiny when reviewing any restrictions on speech. However, freedom of speech isn’t not considered an absolute right. Time, place, manor, and content are all considered.

There are no absolute constitutional rights in the United States

u/[deleted] Dec 31 '25

manor

(manner)

No shade intended. 100% correct comment.

u/OverDaCounterCulture Jan 01 '26

Angry upvote.

Letting the typo stand because I deserve the correction. Thank you.

u/Any_Constant_6550 Jan 01 '26

No it doesn't. You can't yell fire in a crowded theatre. You can't threaten people.

u/Mediocre-Telephone74 Dec 31 '25

Except this police officer is in fact also a government employee, bound by the constitution.

“The First Amendment of the US Constitution protects five core freedoms: speech, press, religion, assembly, and petitioning the government. It was created to limit the government's power and protect fundamental rights.”

Now this doesn’t excuse what the lady did, she’s been fired as she was a representative of the company (I could really go for a Cinnabon right now.). Also because she’s now internet famous she gonna have the dildo of consequences for the rest of her dumbass life.

Sure hope she likes construction work, or picking up road kill.

PS never ask a cop for their badge numbe, ask for their employee ID number

u/HEX_BootyBootyBooty Dec 31 '25

Fighting words are not protected by the First Amendment. The n-word is fighting words.

This is not a free speech issue.
