Let's be honest, Mexican Police are some of the most corrupt in the world. I've had and heard of altercations over the years that almost always resulted in something sketchy happening and having to pay them off to piss off.
As for this couple, they were obviously smashed and belligerent. They started a scene, number 1, which was clearly avoidable. Then argued with MEXICAN police?! This quote from the MSN Canada article (http://news.ca.msn.com/top-stories/...mentid=27292039) really exposes the kind of person this Coleman is:
"But I believe when dealing with a police officer that is overstepping his authority. I believe it is incumbent on me to point it out to them, even if it means I am going to have to deal with some charges afterwards."
A few things really stick out to me:
1. "Overstepping his authority". You're in Mexico and somehow you think what this officer is doing is 'overstepping' his authority. These are not Toronto Police, they aren't RCMP, they're MEXICAN police officers. Their 'authority' in this particular situation knows no bounds.
2. "I believe it is incumbent on me to point it out to them, even if it means I am going to have to deal with some charges afterwards". I happen to relate to this statement quite a bit. I used to have this outlook on authority back when I sported a Rancid shirt, mohawk and 16-hole doc martens; and it landed me in jail on multiple occasions. Fortunately I NEVER took this attitude to MEXICO with me, or I'm fairly sure I'd be in jail or dead right now.
As for Rutland, I'm sure whatever happened in jail was terrible and sketchy. I feel bad for her having to go through this experience, whatever it might have been. Why she didn't feel it was necessary to report it immediately, I'm not entirely sure. But what is the point now?? You're not gonna go anywhere in Mexico with it, and all you'll get here is your face on the news; which I'm actually very surprised to see as you were a RAPE victim.
But seriously, and again let's be honest people, don't start shit with Mexican police. You are not in Canada. You essentially don't have any rights. You MUST respect authority figures when you're visiting another country, or you're almost guaranteed to have one awful experience... smarten up tards...
just my 2 cents...
