A BIG WTF Officer.

Oh to be a fly in the booking room that afternoon.

This should be an interesting case to follow up on.

“I’m not going to have someone out here dressed like that “.

Sorry, officer, but you don’t get to determine that. This should be an easy case for dismissal.

They knew they couldn't charge her for wearing a penis suit, so they made up shit.

The city's liability policy was paid up. She's going to get quite a payday, I imagine.

That arrest for daring to make fun of the white penis is at the heart of what MAGATS want: women are to be subservient to white males.

I hope she gets a good attorney and sues the pants off that PD and the individual cops.

"The cops weren't dicking around."

"Was she trying to rig an erection?"

"10 bucks says this cop beats his wife and children" and someone responded "We know he definitely beats his dick!"

"Cops assault and arrest a woman for legally being in a penis, but rarely arrest a penis for illegally being in a woman."

I doubt most people there know about Guy Fawkes.

ETA: I didn't make the connection to Guy Fawkes Day at first either, so that part isn't a slam on Alabama.

But Trump shitting on Americans is all in good fun.

It’s good to be the king I guess. Even if you’re a crazy one.

Seriously, I hope she is okay after the pile-on. The behavior of cops is being contaminated by ICE’s thuggery.

I was booked, fingerprinted and photographed for mug shot. Court date is Nov 5.

They way overcharged her:
https://alabamareflector.com/2025/10/20/fairhope-police-arrest-woman-in-penis-costume-at-no-kings-protest/
The cops claim she resisted arrest, but the video shows she did no such thing. It's the first time she's ever been arrested. She's an ASL interpreter and grandma.

I loved this clown!
I don’t love Dick-tators or
being arrested for my first time. 🤷‍♀️

The BlueSky post says she's 53 though? Not that that makes it better.
