This is the first time I’ve ever seen someone swat themselves. I feel bad for the boyfriend, and the baby who is going to have two unemployed parents soon. While her behavior is ridiculous, I still think the police made things worse (as they do) by arresting her. They came to “help her” and charge her with disorderly conduct (in her apartment) and resisting arrest (she called for help lol).

Police shouldn’t be the only people that show up to these things, he’s lucky they didn’t shoot him with how jumpy she was making them.

Chances are that this will all be considered and charges won't go through...probably some type of restorative justice process, with some mental health support. At least, one would hope.

But this was incredibly painful to watch, and thinking of the kid growing up in that home hits me in the feels.

Wow, that was excruciatingly insane and dumb. What I learned: she has to go to work.

"I have to go to work". Dying of cringe

I still can't wrap my head around how she didn't even realize what she was doing. I suppose that's just how some things are.

Perfect example of how not to act when the cops show up at your door. Had she admitted calling 911 and told them she overreacted this would have been resolved a lot sooner
