“I’m serious as a heart attack,” he tells Gamble when the audio begins to play on the 14-minute body camera video. “I’m not gonna sit here and argue with you.”
He demands to know how she could possibly justify such an obscene display: “I would like to hear how you would explain to my children what you’re supposed to be.”
Talking to a colleague over his two-way radio after the encounter, Babb described what happened. Gamble was dressed “like a freakin’ weiner,” he says on the tape, so he ordered her to remove the costume. She refused, invoking her First Amendment rights.
“Am I being detained?” Gamble repeatedly asks Babb, who ignores the question and continues to scold her. “If I’m not being detained, I’m gonna go ahead and leave.”
When she turns to walk away, Babb steps forward and grabs her costume from behind, throwing her on her back. Angry protesters shout at Babb as he forces her to turn over. Two more cops help him pin Gamble on the grass and handcuff her.
“By the time I got there, the cops were stuffing an inflatable penis in the back of their car,” Rae said.
It was, on one hand, hilarious — a slapstick comedy bit brought to life. In the body camera footage, Babb tries and fails to fit Gamble into his own backseat, then hands her off to another officer, who escorts her to a different vehicle. Police wrestle with the oversized costume, ultimately failing to fit the unwieldy polyester penis into the car.
It was also disturbing. Gamble screams in pain in the video as the cops try to push her into the backseat, the handcuffs digging into her wrists. Babb asks where the zipper is and, as he peels off the penis suit, asks Gamble for her name.
She replies, “Aunt Tifa.”
Ah, yes. It’s time for the traditional american concern that children may see a cartoon peepee, while at the time not giving a single flying fuck about children getting killed by very real pewpews… or being fucked by the big orange pedo’s deformed peepee.
how is a penis obscene and how does it threaten children to see a penis costume?
Republicans dont want their victims seeing what a real penis looks like and comparing it to their own tiny junk.
Ya see, the thing about ambushes…
spoiler
Joke in poor taste about the nature of secrets and surprises. Notably, lotta interesting hearsay bout some very inescapable dingaling shame among the kid-rapers. Probably no link between those things, or that and convincing big groups of strangers that their own basic biology is shameful.

Perfect response. Okay, that lady is a baller (and, apparently, a penis).
She’s a badass.
No she’s a badpenis
Literal big dick energy
Must be related to “Democracy Manifest” guy… in both cases, the officers were not prepared to receive a limp penis.
At the risk of making a sexist comment, she should have been wearing a scrotum for those gigantic balls.
She a baller
Its funny for sure but in many places this is a separate crime so use your own discretion. It’s more challenging/impossible to sue them later if you don’t beat the charges that they slap on you.
America has a dire prudism problem.
You’re not wrong, but this isn’t a prudism problem. It’s more like a “if it offends YOU, you’re a snowflake, but if it offends ME, then you’re under arrest” problem.
She turned her back on a cop and walked away. No better way to get arrested than to remind them how small they really are.
We need more nekkid people just showing up where ever. Everyone listen up. Hide your face, get undressed, protest hard. Run away quickly & put clothes on. Then ditch the mask. How in the hell is anyone really going to notice any facial features. You are all welcome. I may be the only one that follows through. However, I have tje utmost faith in this minimalist approach. As long as the weather is cooperative btw.
Wear a Nixon mask.
10-4 Roger that affirmative Ghostrider👍
They put you all undressed in the identification row and examine your wieners.
Subject to change. Is there a draft in the room? Can definitely grow & show depending on the season, lighting ambience, mood & all around vibes.
The body camera footage tells a different story.
Every time. Every. Last. Time.
I don’t think we should arrest people at all until body cam footage comes out, it’s insane how often they lie
We need repurcussions for lying. We need repurcussions for when people are arrested and charges are dropped.
Cops should need to think twice before arresting anyone.
Starting with one week of pay and going up every time the repeat. Touching the pocket is a good way to stop anyone from doing something bad.
Arresting and charging without footage is fine.
We shouldn’t convict anyone nor should there be a trial until all the footage comes out.
But poor people end up spending days or weeks behind bars after being accused of assaulting officers and it’s wrong
Oh I absolutely agree. If we’re talking about minor things like this they should be booked and released. Unless they are a direct threat to the public they should not be held for more than the time it takes to get their identification, alert them of the charges, and release them.
The trial and convictions should never even start until the body cam is released. That should be released before the first pre-trial date is even scheduled.
Basically, if I am arrested and charged for disorderly, I won’t even be scheduled for a pre-trial court date until prosecution has full unedited body cam footage of my arrest. If they cannot be produced in the time it takes for my pre-trial date with a judge, charges are automatically dismissed without prejudice.
If we’re talking about minor things like this they should be booked and released.
Disagree, this person should’ve been given a high five and bought a drink.
Again, 100% agree. That cop should have been rushed by the 15-25 protesters around her and made to actually fear for his fucking life. He apparently feels so safe and confident that he can assault a grandmother in a dick costume, knowing that him completely by himself won’t see any harm come to him.
He can harm others knowing the two dozen people around him won’t harm him.
Alas… Everyone stood by and let her get arrested. And because of that she shouldn’t see a court until the completely unredacted body cam footage is publicly available.
As it is, she gets the awareness raising she wants, and they look stupid. Even a KKKristian judge can only give her minor charges. If the crowd rushed the cops, she could be charged with Inciting a Riot. Which is serious unless you’re the PrickOTUS. She seems to be on top of the situation, making sure the footage will confirm any injuries she can claim. Not that she is enjoying it or sought such stupid and over-aggressive treatment. But she knows she has less to fear than a black man.
Yes, let’s arrest penis costume grandma instead of warmongering pedoffending nazi monster. (I mean, that even feels insulting to the word monster).
oh look another coward cop who clutches pearls at having to explain what a penis is to their children.
we all know he’s showed his kids his before, fuckin pigs
“Show” as in dressing/undressing together before going swimming etc? I don’t see a problem there. Except him struggling with his shame.
edit: Prudes. Being naked with your kids is not abuse.
Agree with your Edit. Nakedness is nothing inherently sexual. Kids shouldn’t learn that they have to be ashamed of having a body, nor genitals. Kids need role model for this, as for anything else. Having parents treat nakedness as something normal is beneficial for children.
Obviously there is a right time and place for it.
The really weird thing is unless they are female toddlers, they definitely know what a penis is.
Regardless, if kids ask and as a parent you don’t want to answer, just say it’s a silly hotdog costume. Nbd
How dare she make him talk to his children.
“I would like to hear how he explains to his children what he’s supposed to be.”
Is nakedness a thing in US families? Probably not. But even so, the question will come up. Some kids are even bold enough to poke it and ask. Presumely because they’re fed up with never getting a proper answer.
Gee, wonder who that cop voted for. I bet we could never guess /s
She doesn’t owe him any explanation regarding her costume.
This could not be more ridiculous. Pedophelia and sex trafficking are literally being normalized to levels of “locker room talk” in 2026. Nobody is facing justice. We’re basically just legalizing pedophelia for the wealthy, which apparently we’ve always done, we just have to accept it as official now. And maybe that was the point of Trump focusing so much attention on pedophiles in the first place?
However, a grandmother wearing an inflatable penis costume to protest captain pedophile while he holds the highest office in the United States is the real danger to children. Got it.
Straight to jail with you granny.
This could not be more ridiculous. Pedophelia and sex trafficking are literally being normalized to levels of “locker room talk” in 2026.
I remember when Lumpty Trumpty was running the first time and the “grab them by the pussy” tape came out. I was talking to a colleague who was like “it’s just locker room talk”. I was like “Uh, that’s advocating for sexual assault.”
Advocating sexual assault is bad enough, but Trump is a literal rapist!
I’m not even talking about the Epstein files! It was proven in court that he raped his ex-wife. Look up the details if you want, but it’s pretty dark and was clearly revenge. And we’re supposed to believe that this guy, who made sexual comments about his own underage daughter and bragged about barging in on Miss Teen USA contestants in their dressing rooms… We’re supposed to believe this guy held himself back and followed the law!?he also bragged about Paris hilton when she was younger.
No, see, she’s no longer a child so she doesn’t matter. /s
But apparently she owes one to his children.
The crowd should have tackled and restrained the cops. No more rogue police, it’s time for the citizens to pin you to the ground, cuff you, and leave you there to ROT
I’d love to see this - but not for this situation. Totally pointless. Counter-productive.
Cops got her on disorderly conduct, after the fact. Jt’s a bullshit charge. They had nothing to charge her with otherwise.
But she’s got a civil rights violation lawsuit in the bag. She’s clearly heard repeating “Am I being detained?” The officer didn’t answer and then used physical force to bring her down.
And even outside the law, the court of public opinion matters. Starting a riot by beating the shit out of a cop might not look so good. It’s 20 on 1, and he could get disoriented and fire into the crowd.
But, for the record, if you are EVER dressed as a life-sized penis and a cop asks “What am I supposed to tell my kids?”, you should answer “Tell them Trump is a dick.”
Because that’s an honest answer and there’s nothing inherently sexual about this situation. Half the world has penises, there’s naked statues and painting and pics of penises in every culture around the world. Kids can handle it.
the crowd didn’t react because they are the same as that police officer, they think alike.
anyone in any free country would’ve reacted, but the us isn’t a free country.
The bystanders are not like the cop, but yes we do not live in a free society.
That woman is an absolute legend
Free grandma
“Obscenity” is kinda meaningless when you have a president that raped children.
And only stopped because his prick don’t work no more.
The cops crying obscenity, yet 3 of them decided to jump on that dick in public…
Imagine being worried about having to explain an adult wearing penis costume to children, but not you assaulting them.
I can’t believe they’re threatening to put it in chastity. 😔
Uhhh children should be aware of human bodies and what parts they have. That guys Christian values are showing.
Considering the post right above this is about the arrested pastor that wrote a book about “christian sexual ethics”, I’m willing to venture that this cop’s are performative at best as well.
