Wow, she was spitting out kids at 12 years old, I gotta admit......that was impressive.

yeah i thought that was kinda funny, probably not her son by birth though

with these stories on slanted sites you always have to take them with a grain of salt and wait and see

..."WORD"...

   but those same cops would prefer that they remain in control of the person videotaping them (so as to of course create a biased opinion)...

Don't mean to offend, but is this story up on any other news sites?  Your just a tad bit too biased on the issue for me take that at face value.  That and she'd be, what, 12 or 13 when she had her son?  Possible, but, you know ... any of the mainstream outlets picked this up?

-=>D

*Edit*

PS.  This is my favorite part of that whole article: “... you fucking northerners think you can come down here and mess with cops. You are about to get a lesson 101 on how to deal with Florida cops.”

*Re-edit*

nm on the age thing ... booking info makes that a moot point.

It might be possible that she lied about her age on her port,,,

I know it's rare but some models lie about their age.

Legally they can't do anything anyway.

And so the Black Panthers were born.

I have no friends here who have EVER done that.

And by 26 she means 32.

That's how the Black Panthers got started.  Citizens would observe arrests.  Sometimes gathering in crowds to observe.


The government didn't like that very much.  The police being policed.


Citizens could also observe the police at a distance while also being as visibly armed as the police themselves.

There's a few kids of Panther's wandering around here.

It seems like the police still don't like it, the police think they are above the law well they ain't above mine!

Yeah, I haven't seen reporting like that since Edward R. Murrow died.

It was featured in the South Florida Sun-Sentinal. His blog about this incident was the blog of the day.

Also his blog was once mentioned in a New York Times article.

I know I'm only get one side of the story but I got a chuckle from this section.

But the officers seemed mainly concerned about the camera.

“They said ‘you can’t record people without letting them know’,” she said.

“So I said, ‘Ok, Tasha Ford is recording you’ and I continued filming them.

The comments on this thread do not surprise me because there was another article I wrote that was discussed on MM not too long ago – which also brought out a ton of disparaging comments from so-called photographers – that never made the mainstream media either...

Why would someone's opinion on a news article call into question if they are a real photographer or not?

So-called photographers because many have no clue about basic Constitutional rights when it comes to photography.

The main problem with this thread is that OP has chosen to out another MM member, who is now being discussed and commented on.

This thread needs to be locked. OP can generate hits to his blog elsewhere.

Nobody "outed" anybody. She went on the record with me knowing this would be published.

She did nothing wrong so she has no shame about being arrested. In fact, she wants this to get out to expose an unlawful arrest.

The judge dropped the felony charge so doesn't that tell you anything?

It tells me there is no lawful arrest to base a resisting arrest charge on.

Knowing or not knowing your constitutional rights has nothing to do with whether or not someone is a photographer. I don't even have to know how copyrights work in order to be a photographer. It was just you spitting back is all.

If the model wanted to tell her story on Model Mayhem, she could have posted it herself. If you want to write an op/ed story about someone on your own blog, then that's where it belongs. Again, this thread should be locked for outing another MM member in the forums and for stirring up drama.

Whatever dude. If the mods want to lock it, then let them.

But I'm curious to see if anybody else agrees with you.

I guess it's no different than people on this thread inferring that I am not a real journalist.

She has a son old enough to get put in handcuffs?


Ok...read the story.  EVERYONE involved are a bunch of fucking idiots.
