That poor officer knew it was wrong to arresting her. Bless his heart. For the city knuckleheads on Bullhead council, you're all going to answer to Christ for such a ill thought 'law'. Homeless will exist whether or not you try wishing it away. You all need removed from your jobs for being heartless foo—. This woman is doing God' work and your ignorance to God' law will come to haunt you all. Prepare, for our Lord is Coming.
Sick cop omg, he should go for another job because his morals are f*cking brocken
Defund the police 👎👮♀️👮♀️👮♀️👮♀️
One more example of the gov has lost sight of the reason there are laws. They don't know anymore. A store near that park probably got those lawmakers to make the pre-packaged food a thing. Laws for businesses. That's what they think laws are for. Laws are for lining pockets. There is no more laws to make us a better society. Yet everyone scratches their heads n says what's wrong with this country. What are they going to do when there is no one left to fleece? Eat each other! The handful of rich will eat each other.
Only in the divided states of failure and violence as the United States continues to defeat itself
This is a fake story it is trumped up by Antifa Media.. to make Arizona look bad…
I guess you all just want their state to look like Los Angeles
Acab
Throw the book at her. Society is going downhill fast when people act out of kindness. We can’t allow this sort of crime to go unpunished…
Where did they get these shyte cops? Uvalde? Way to serve and protect. Protecting and serving who?
THESE PPL WHO DID THIS TO THIS BEAUTIFUL LADY N HER SOUL KARMA IS COMING FOR YOU GOD IS WATCHING EVERYONES DIRTY DEEDS WE AINT FOOLING NOONE BUT ARE SELF
Sounds a little Bullheaded to me.
I also gave my home cook food for homeless people in Washington DC few times. My friend came and said you l could get arrested too doing this.
No more home cooks, only McDonald’s now.
It’s sad that acts like this don’t get a huge media coverage or people up in arms like it would have a few decades ago. Instead it seems like everyone just wants to divide and fight and fight amongst another like we all aren’t the same because how we were born. Well they did say if you want to take down a United stand, get them to turn against another.
Apparently, she didn’t read the “Don’t feed the animals” sign.
I actually live homeless in Arizona .. I would never take food from anybody Too much of a risk ..I'd rather buy, and do my own food.. if she was licensed, I would trust it more… my honest opinion The city should give her a license and some volunteer help go park to park find and get to know these people and give them food the correct way that's how the cities should operate… you don't turn your back on the homeless population you help them.. Homeless facilities are Overrun throughout the state… The city should actually give her some money every week to help people .. She basically doing it on her dime… just think if you had 50 people all willing to do help like that.. Just supply the food and the licensing so it is safe and those homeless people could actually eat something maybe more. I could see if some of those homeless people are causing problems, but most homeless people don't 90% or more are screaming for help inside Just no one is listening or very few are.. Take a look at my channel. I posted a video of the rocket launch that was over Mesa. sub me
The fact that the law literally states "homeless" is unconstitutional since it is a law literally designed to discriminate against a certain group of people… unless I will go to jail for sharing a sandwich with my kid….
No good deed goes unpunished… 😏
WTF. UNBELIEVABLE.
Its not a bizarre story. America is an authoritarian police state. They just make it look like you got freedoms. The land is controlled by force of law and order. The winner takes all political system.
All you people mad would be the first people on the phone with police if they setup a homeless encampment at this park
You can’t just arrested people for helping homeless people
Police state america. Dont help others because it would take away money from the business class.
This is so stupid!
Get that democrat city counsel out of there.
Bullhead City, eh? More like Shthead City.
Seems AZ is becoming Ayn Rand paradise.
Arizona grandmother arrested for breaking the law in public park.
There, fixed your headline for you.
You’re welcome.
Praise the vets for political gains, then abandon them if they become homeless. Great plan conservatives!
I’m curious to see how all the police apologists justify this and defend them?😂
Panhandling laws are also unconstitutional, and there is a youtube activist who’s been challenging that (HonorYourOath civil rights investigations) since the courts have upheld that charitable appeals for funds are protected
It looks like she was feeding them potentially hazardous food. Making people sick isn't helping them. A permit would help with this.
Another reminder that police aren’t here to help us. Just like Uvalde, they’ll arrest parents and retaliate against people for speaking to the media, while waiting for an hour for “officer safety” as children bleed out for an hout
The law is anti Jesus. Jesus fed the poor. The poor and ailing were his first concern, not converting people. I only point this out as it is a law created by Republicans.
Abomination ❗ God is watching ❗Great lady ❣️
It’s just granny’s leftovers geez..
Oh no, it’s Sodom and Gomorrah all over again! Compassion and generosity is illegal!
