Woman suing city of Pittsburgh: Arrested for not supporting President Trump

[yortsed snacilbuper]

Darian Balcom has filed a civil rights lawsuit naming Pittsburgh police Officer Gabe Figueroa as the person she says arrested her for not being a supporter of President Donald Trump.

In her lawsuit against the city of Pittsburgh, Balcom claims Figueroa and several other officers responded to a burglary call on Fleming Avenue in the Brighton Heights neighborhood as she removed stray animals from an abandoned house.

"He went directly to, 'You probably don't support Trump do you?', and I said, 'No I don't,'" she said.

Matthew Grebner says he was with Balcom and says Figueroa referred to her in a disparaging manner. "She's a bleeding heart liberal but you can't sass at the police," Grebner recalled Figueroa as saying.

Balcom was arrested minutes later and charged with burglary and trespassing, but those charges were later dropped.

3. When Donnie Dainty Diggits hears about this

He'll probably nominate this Figuera ass to a cabinet level position

4. "Sass" the biggest crime in the country per the police

5. I am always puzzled when a latin american person supports the buffoon

Gabe Figueroa's last name makes me think he is Hispanic or from a Hispanic family, and for someone to not understand the hate the buffoon has for Hispanics is to have your head in your own butt.

6. Cuban Americans tend to support the Con Man

And many other latinos agree with Trump that "those other latinos" are a blight and a drain on society while they (e.g., Figueroa and his ilk) represent hard working, good, true-blue Americans whom Mr. Trump doesn't include with the rabble.

Guess what, Mr. Figueroa, he does. Trump offers no passes if your DNA is latino, no matter whether you are white or brown.
