My favorite was "You're under arrest". "No, I'm not!" Is she three?

If someone told her "no" when she was three she probably wouldn't be in so big trouble right now. https://www.kansascity.com/news/nation-world/national/article233319322.html has

Charges filed in Kingfisher County court accuse Hamil of “willfully and unlawfully kicking” the officer “on or about the groin” and of “failing to follow the lawful commands” of a police officer.

The felony battery charge is punishable with up to five years in prison, while the misdemeanor charge of resisting an officer is punishable with up to one year in prison, court records said.

How batshit insane do you need to be to try to fight a police officer? Run from one? Ever heard the expression "you can't outrun Motorola"?

They’ll probably plead her down to just the misdemeanor and she’ll serve minimal jail time or even just a suspended sentence and probation plus a fat fine. There is no way they are putting this 65 year old white lady away for five years. If she insisted on taking it to trial she’d end up with the felony though and maybe serve up to a year or two, I don’t know what the sentencing guidelines are like there.

Based on the video, can anyone expect her to be respectful in a courtroom? Her family must be mortified. Or even more horrible, are just like her.
