‘Lady’ journo lands cop in trouble

-

Los Angeles – Police in Colorado have come under fire after an officer told a journalist “to act like a lady” while she was being handcuffed for taking photograph­s.

A bodycam video of the July 5 incident released this week by the Denver Police Department shows the exchange between Susan Greene, editor of the Colorado Independen­t, and two police officers.

Greene was taking pictures with her phone of a naked African-American man being detained by police on a city sidewalk when she was ordered to stop doing so. –
